Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.
When I am trying to play dark souls 3 (Only game I have installed currently) my display will lose signal after a little bit and I have to hard reset my PC. Something weird that I noticed is my graphics card says it runs at 990MHZ but when I look into MSI afterburner my coreclock max defaults to 1040. Could this be my issue? And why does this happen? Thanks
EDIT: checked the GPU temp in game crash happened at 56C so it isn't an overheating problem.
List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.
Re seat everything, pulled mobo battery, paperclip test PSU everything seems to be working fine except when I'm gaming.
