Hey everyone! I've been having a seriously frustrating issue with my gaming PC. About a week ago, while I was playing Warzone, my monitor just went black, and the GPU fans went into overdrive at 100%. After that, the screen wouldn't come back on, forcing me to restart my system. This happened again a couple of days later during the same game. Here are my specs:
- Ryzen 9800x3d
- Asrock Steel Legend x670e motherboard
- 32GB RAM
- Nvidia 5070
- Windows 11 Pro, version 26200.8037
- Using Nvidia Studio Driver 595.79
I've already tried a bunch of things like reseating all the power supply connections, reseating the GPU, and also downgrading the video card driver with DDU to versions 581.57 and 591.44, but my system still crashes. I'm out of ideas, so any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Did you have any issues before, or is this new? If your GPU is from early 2025 or older, check if there's a VBIOS update for it. The black screen issues might not be new, and an outdated BIOS could be the culprit. Also, what’s the wattage of your power supply? Ensure all connections are snug as a bug and look for any damage on the cables. Don't forget to check that your display port cable supports DP 2.1, just in case!
I just bought the GPU last spring, and this is the first problem I've encountered. My PSU is a SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Platinum 750W. I physically checked the connections for any burns, and they all seemed fine. I’ll update the BIOS and chipset! Thanks for the advice!
