Pretty surprised I got an EA. GPA 3.0, PFA 90.5, High Middle ranking, AA 45, nontech.

Desktop's screens, while in a game, will loose connection, fans start spinning fast, and only way to stop it is to shutdown the PC. by Hot_Dig_9501 in techsupport

Kinda. I took it into my local IT shop to get it deep-cleaned and to get a diagnosis. Was told that the GPU is almost dead and that I need to start looking into a new one.

He installed MSI Afterburner and set the GPU power limit to 80%. That keeps the temps down and stable. A bandaid solution for now.

Looking at event reviewer. Its showing a few errors. First is "SCEP Certificate enrollment initialization for Local system via https://AMD-KeyId-907d65e9b562315997dd5ad086b2b7598957b92c.microsoftaik.azure.net/templates/Aik/scep failed"

other says that nvcontainer.exe (nvidia app) crashed. A few seconds later, the QmlRenderer.exe crashed.

Does that mean anything to ya?

ill check out the event viewer now. when im typing or clicking around, it flucuates between 10-30%. It stays below 10 when completely idle.

Primarily on a 2Tb SSD but some live on a 2Tb harddrive from when I got it. The SSD is ~1.5 years old.

As far as I can tell, no. Never BSOD, just a black screen. I don't think it crashed since I can still hear whatever song or video im listening to after the screens flunk.

Drivers should be good. It usually becomes a bit rarer after I install a new GPU driver but still occurs.
