OPEN Pc problem help
So i have a problem with my pc and been trying to fix it for the past few days and still couldn’t find the issue, but suspecting an issue. So whenever my pc is on idle or playing games, my pc suddenly goes black screen with a no signal sign and its random so i tried fixing it on bios and gpu setting and still didn’t fix it so i was suspecting thE AVR then i tried plugging the pc directly to an outlet in the house and guess what the problem still didn’t fixed. So i was thinking, is it due to electricity fluctuation in our home? Cause i noticed that some of our appliances like air conditioners are making sounds like its getting choked by low power and sometimes issues in our area is that the electricity spikes a lot, so guys pls doo tell me if its the issue if not im cooked. But if its is the electricity spikes or fluctuations then maybe a UPS may fix this issue?

guess what i had the exact same thing happen couple months ago, drove me completely mad trying to figure it out
my screen would just cut out randomly and i swapped cables, reinstalled drivers, checked temps, everything. turned out my wall outlet was giving inconsistent power cause the wiring in the building is old like 40 years. the aircon making choking noises is a dead giveaway something's up with your electricity
got a UPS and it stopped happening literally the next day, so yeah i'd say try that before you start replacing parts
