Hey, I've been having this issue where I play a game (overwatch/csgo) for like 10-30 minutes and my monitor just goes in a certain color and my pc is not responding, so i have to hold down the power button for 5 seconds so the pc powers down. If i boot the pc the monitor says "no signal" so i let the pc rest and then it boots after waiting like an hour.
When playing my temperature is between 66-70 so i guess its not heat problem, could it be my gpu is dying? i tried updating drivers but it didnt fix my problem. also checked the fans, they seem to work fine, checked the dvi cable of the pc and monitor, they are also okay.
*I own this pc for 4 years
my pc specs:
Intel I5 4590 3.3Ghz
Gigabyte GA-B85M-D2V
Hynix 8G DDR3 1600Mhz
Sapphire R9 280X 3G GDDR5 TRI-X
Seasonic 620W
Seagate 1T Sata3 Barracuda
Benq 2430T 144hz monitor
 
Solution
Yes,, it can be the video card, or power supply although your PSU is a good brand. Test the video card in another system, you will find out if it's the card or not fast.
