Description of Original Problem: Screen turns off when playing games, primarily World of Warcraft (Retail). Requires restart or holding power button.
Troubleshooting:
Computer details provided are what is currently in MY computer.
The card was initially in a brand new computer I built for my GF.
After she experienced similar crashes, albeit with a green screen then computer would turn off, I swapped out the PSU, problem persisted.
I have tried my GPU (R9 290X) and my PSU (Super Flower Leadex III Gold 850W) in her computer and that worked fine, no issues. I have tried variations of both in my computer and hers. The problem only happens when the 5600 XT is in either computer.
I have tried fresh driver installs using DDU in both computers and also tried older drivers with no luck. I have also tried to update the chipset on my motherboard, but am not 100% sure if that correctly updated (It is not something I have much experience with.)
I have not had any real issue with the card for a while, maybe once with League of Legends, but I have recently started playing World of Warcraft more due to imminent release of Shadowlands and it has been 'crashing' at least once a day. I have tried to keep track of temperatures and usage to see if it was 'crashing' with a specific trigger but I have had no luck so far.
Cheers.
