Computer crashing (black screen) when playing video games.

[tbrooks524]

I've been having this issue for a while now and it's starting to drive me crazy. The issue is that my computer goes to a black screen with no sound, and I have to reboot. When it started, it would crash after 10-20 minutes of playing certain games. Now, it crashed as soon as I start any game. I have tried updating all drivers and bios, reinstalling my games, and a fresh install of windows. The fresh install fixed the issue for a day or 2, but then the issue came back. My CPU temps stays around 20-30C, and my GPU temp is around 50-60C.

Specs:

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Motherboard: Asus M4A87TD/USB3
CPU: AMD Phenom X6 100T, 3300 Mhz, 6cores
Graphics: Radeon RX 470
8GB ram

Let me know if there's anything I can do to pinpoint the issue, I'm tired of spending my days off work trying to fix this problem, unable to play games and relax.

Run memtests86 on each of your RAM sticks multiple times. Try to boot individually with each RAM stick and try them in different slots.

What PSU?

I have had practically the same issue for quite a while except when the screen goes black it doesn't always fully crash and after 10-15 seconds comes back on.. I cant really play league of legends anymore. I found a fix that worked for about a month. I used MSI Afterburner to power limit and underclock my GPU. Like I said though, It worked perfectly for about a month or 2 but it doesn't seem to help anymore.

Thanks for reminding me to check the RAM, that was the issue.

Glad I could help.
