I recently built a gaming PC about two weeks ago, and everything was running smoothly until today. After playing Ark for about three hours, I switched to Rainbow Siege, and suddenly, my screens went black in the middle of the game. I had to turn off my PC because I couldn't get the displays back on. When I restarted, it booted up normally. However, after a few minutes in Ark again, the same issue happened. I ran some stress tests using OCCT, and everything held steady for 10-15 minutes without any problems. Here are my specs: 9060xt 16GB, Ryzen 5 9600X, Argus 750W PSU, B850 Pro RS, and 32GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance RAM.

First off, you should check your Windows event logs to see if there are any critical errors or warnings that could explain the black screens. They can provide useful clues about what's happening.
Is the log erased after a restart?
If you're still having issues, consider contacting the PC builder or the place where you got your GPU to see if they can replace it. Sometimes hardware problems can lead to these kinds of issues.
I built the PC myself, so I'll need to troubleshoot more.
Can I check the logs tomorrow?
