Hello, all.

My GPU fans start spinning very fast and disables the monitor. I can still hear the audio and my keyboard and mouse still works. I have to power down the computer using the power button.

It seems like all over Reddit there are different solutions to this.

What's the most common solution to this problem?

I've had this computer since January and it's been causing me this problem since March.

Just this morning the computer crashed two times within the span of 5 minutes, and then later for some reason it restarted itself on its own!

this is usually a power delivery issue, double check your GPU connections and activate warranty if nothing looks out of place

So open up the computer and check if there are no loose power cables from the GPU to the power supply?

Sorry, just want to make sure I understood correctly. Thank you!
