I'm having a frustrating issue where my screen goes black as soon as I launch any game. Here's a bit about my setup: I'm using a 7900 XT GPU and a 9800X3D CPU on an Asus ROG B650E-I motherboard, with 32GB of 6000MHz DDR5 RAM. The BIOS version is 3602, and I'm running Windows 11 Home with the recommended Adrenalin 25.12.1 drivers for both my GPU and chipset.
Everything works fine outside of gaming, and this issue surfaced after I recently upgraded my system from AM4 to AM5. It was all good for about three days post-upgrade. I've tried a bunch of troubleshooting steps, including adjusting various Windows settings, uninstalling and reinstalling the GPU, reseating it, and even power cycling the system. I should mention I'm using DisplayPort since I don't have an HDMI cable. I've only got one monitor, so I can't really test with others right now.

Have you tried using your integrated graphics? It won’t help with gaming performance, but it's a good way to check if the issue is with your main GPU or not. Also, for a thorough driver uninstall, consider using DDU for a clean slate. One more thing to try is switching the PCIe settings from 5.0 back to 4.0; some users have found that it helps stabilize their systems, especially if their GPU performs better at that generation.
Hey there! It might be worth testing a different power supply. Your current 750W unit has gotten some negative feedback regarding its stability under load, which could lead to the GPU shutting off during gaming. If you can, try a higher wattage PSU like the Corsair RM850e; it might give you the reassurance that your system has enough power.
