PC Black Screens Randomly Whilst Playing Games
My PC has recently started "black screening" when playing both Rainbow Six: Siege and Overwatch. The monitor will go to sleep as if it is receiving no input and I am unable to wake it back up. The only known fix is a full system reboot. Sound continues, with Spotify working in every situation and TeamSpeak continuing to work most of the time as well. My games immediately crash, as well as a few other programs which control my RGB lighting. I have tried updating all of my drivers, to no avail. This ONLY occurs while I am playing games and has happened about 10 times in the past week.
The only recent change I have made was adding in-case RGB-LEDs which are powered via a USB 2.0 motherboard header.
Any and all help is appreciated.
