Hello. So I recently swapped to some other parts. I have a MAXIMUS VII FORMULA 1150 socket with a 4790 cpu And a gtx 1080 g1 from gigabyte. However, sometimes when I play for example pubg. (player unknown) It has only happend twice out of maybe 20 games, and I have tried some other games as well. Suddenly the screen turns black and gpu fant goes to max load. I still hear the sound in the background, and I dont see any artifacts before the monitor turns off. Is this the gpu failing? Or is there some other explanation?
Are you overlcocked? I've had the same issue with something like that. It could also be a PSU going bad, or perhaps even underrated. What power supply are you using?
