Hi, so I've been recently getting an issue where my monitor will go black when I'm playing games, about an hour or so in. For a second while it goes black I'll still hear things, then nothing, I have to force restart it. I've already updated my drivers and when I run WhoCrashed it's telling me I havent crashed for over 3 weeks. I've read that it may be a PSU issue but I've had this PC for over a year and never encountered this issue before.

Windows version: Windows 10 , 10.0, build: 15063
Windows dir: C:\WINDOWS
Hardware: ASRock, Z97 Pro4
CPU: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz Intel586, level: 6
4 logical processors, active mask: 15
RAM: 8538185728(8gb) bytes total
Rosewill Gold 750w PSU

It only happens when I'm playing games for about an hour or more.

Not sure here.... but my first instinct would be to say its a power issue. This is very common when your card is not getting enough power. Your PSU may be failing. Can you borrow a buddies for an hour and test it?. This would help you a lot in solving this issue

Not really atm, I've been playing mainly battlerite and had it crash as soon as a few minutes after the game booted up, I'm going to try and play some other games that may be gpu intensive to see if they get similar results since battlerite is fairly new and may have issues.
