Monitor going into power save mode during gaming

Hello,

Since today i have experienced few times that my PC suddenly goes into entering power save mode during gaming. It usually happens when i starting up the game. The screen then goes off with the message entering power save mode while the PC is on and the fans of the graphics card suddenly start running at its highest rpm. The only solution is to give the PC a hard reset. The screen then comes back.


I have already checked all windows and bios settings. Every possible power save mode is disabled and i have the settings on high performance.

I already tried the latest AMD drivers but still have the same problem. When playing Battlefield 1 for example i never had this issue.

Can somebody please tell me what is going on with my PC?

System:

Windows 10
I5 7600K
Radeon RX 480 4GB
16GB DDR4
Samsung 250GB SSD
Corsair CX 450 Watt

Found the solution. Runned DDU in safemode and deleted AMD drivers. Than installed the new one and kept Wattman disabled. After that i did run benchmarks and my PC didnt crash anymore.

How can Wattman be the cause of the crash?
