Hi there,

I've been meaning to drop by here for awhile in order to possibly get some help with my second monitor. It's a very useful thing for gaming streamers to be able to see chat on screen without having to tab out of the game you're broadcasting.

The issue is that whenever I hook up the second monitor, it works fine for around 5 mins, and then starts to flicker into a black screen which also affects my primary monitor. I believe this only occurs when I'm running a game, which leads me to believe this is a GPU issue or a power issue.

Unfortunately I'm not very PC savvy from a technical hardware standpoint, so if you care to lend a hand, I'm more than happy to fish for any info you need. I know how to grab my dxdiag, but I want to avoid a wall of unnecessary text by first finding out what I need to show you.

Many thanks for any help!

Additional details:

GPU: Sapphire Radeon 7950
PSU: 750 watt psu

I have a sapphire radeon 7950 and a 750 watt psu. I always have my logitech c920 webcam and my blue yeti mic plugged in also.

Edit: more details.
