I am experiencing a black screen some 30 seconds after I start a game like crysis 2. When the screen goes black, sometimes I can hear a buzzing sound. The fans on the GPU stop but the fan on the CPU keeps going. The PC requires a hard restart to get going again.
This starting happening after I swapped a low spec APU out for an Athlon X4 860K.
Motherboard is a GA-F2A88X-D3H (rev. 3.0).
Power supply is 1000W.
All temperatures are low. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled drivers from scratch. Both BIOS have been flashed and are up to date. I don't get a black screen when I put the GPU in the PCI Express x16 (running at x4) slot.
Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

After months of trying, I just solved this myself. It turns out that if you don't have an APU in my motherboard, it doesn't support running a GPU at Gen 3. In the motherboard bios, the PCIE setting was at Auto. I changed this to Gen 2 and it instantly solved my problems.
