Monitor loses signal, fans rev up to insane speeds

I bought a GTX 1070 8GB EVGA Card about 6 or 7 months ago and a Ryzen 5 1500x around the same time. Everything was working fine for months until yesterday. Yesterday I was playing rainbow six siege and my monitor went dark and lost signal. I could still hear all the audio and there were no visual problems or anything. It wasn’t until the second time it happened when the fans started spinning really fast when my monitor would go black. It’s now begun to happen even when I’m watching YouTube or talking to people on discord.

I’ve seen people say many other things that it’s a windows problem, a GPU problem, a CPU problem, and a overheating problem, yet all my components are new and handled well, and my GPU idles at around 38 and CPU at 40. They never go above 60. (Celsius FYI)

Just because your components are not old does not mean they can't fail. Only way you can check on things is to swap components for known good ones and see which one fixes things. Or test the component in another system. You have a low quality power supply, that can cause issues. This is good and cheap after rebate https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095&Description=seasonic%20m12ii&cm_re=seasonic_m12ii-_-17-151-095-_-Product This is a bit better but should not really be needed, the Seasonic is good also to get https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BE058W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks for the recommendations. So you think it could be a power supply issue? I don't really have alternative components to use to test the difference.
 


Without a way to test what you have, only way to test thing is to start replacing things. I would start with that low quality power supply. Even if it does not fix the issue, at least you will have removed a bad PSU from the system.
