No Signal when Gaming

This one's a little wack.

When gaming the PC loses connection to the monitor.

I am still able to voice chat via Discord and can still hear the game.

System Specs:

i5 6600k @ 4.4ghz (has been overclocked for a year + without issue, I believe this to not be an issue. )

RX470 8GB @ Stock

16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz

Gigabyte Z170X Ultra Gaming

Masterwatt 650W PSU

Things I've ruled out:

Temperatures: both the CPU and GPU are on water, temperatures are well below the point of concern.

Power:
I. I replaced the PSU when this issue first arose as I thought my 500W wasn't cutting it. The problem has persisted.
II. I configured the Windows Power settings to high performance and turned off monitor auto sleep.

Monitor: I tried it with different monitors and the problem persisted.

My current theory is that there is a driver conflict somewhere. I disabled the Internal Graphics and the Audio Controller (as I use a Scarlet 2i2 and have no need for onboard audio) in BIOS and am currently testing it.

Any ideas? Anyone solved a similar issue?

Thanks in advance.

Did you used to have an nVidia card installed? If so, make sure the drivers for it are properly uninstalled. Also go into your AMD control panel/settings and make sure your RX 470 shows up and is selected as the global/default video device.

You are a genius, I did previously have a 660ti installed. I did not consider that. I will attempt more tests after uninstalling and reply with results.

The memory has been reseated a number of times for routine cleanings, at no point has it shown results. I wish it was the case of a simple reseat.

Believe me, I have been through all the go-tos. All to no avail.
