Question Getting a black screen 20-30 minutes into playing a game

[davidmac2]

Hi so I just completed my first build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HMpbzY a few days ago but when I try to play any games more demanding than games like CK2 or HOI4 maps type games I get a black screen and the PC restarts 20-30 minutes into playing frames are solid while playing high or very high graphics temps at idle reach from 25-35 under load 43 using Prime 95 GPU goes to around or just below 70 from what I've heard these are fine temperatures so that shouldn't be the problem so I'm wondering if it is being caused by the PSU or that it is indeed overheating I've two outtake fans and one rad with two 120m fans as intake with a cpu liquid cooler any help would be appreciated. Any more information needed just let me know.

Install MSI Afterburner and kick the GPU fans 10 100% and run the same games again. I had a similar issue a few years ago when my 290X would overheat without warning and the screen would go dark and shutdown or reboot. Since then I run MSI afterburner at around 65-75% on all my GPUs and have not had the issue since.

Yeah. Been using afterburner for years. These cards suck in fans the last few years. I'd rather have a little noise knowing they won't lock up.
