IMPORTANT

This is a feeler as I am still deciding whether or not this is a viable option to pursue.

All new components still have remainder of their warranties. There is an issue with something thats causing the PC to keep black screening. I'm not technically gifted enough to fix it, and Im not sure yet if splitting up the components to send to the respective warranty holders is worth the time and effort yet. Kinda want to get a solid laptop and have consistency rather than headache at this point, Essentially if I go through with it and you manage to fix it, then awesome. If not, everything that might be the issue is still well within warranty period, I'll give you all the information. The gamble is if the issue is with a part that isnt under warranty (PSU/old HDD/some cabling), I wouldnt provide any warranty or guarantee for that. Basically you would be taking the machine as is and accepting that some component might need to be replaced or repaired. I dont think its bricked, as im still able to log into the machine, and works perfectly up until it black screens.

I'm happy to provide more info on anything listed here

I'm going to put my money on that 7 years old psu being faulty. My Corsair 700 watt of similar age did exactly the same. It's fine when the pc is idling but as soon as i launched a game it crashed the system.

You might be right, noticed it crashing mostly when the TV was plugged in and running. Not seeming to find any issues with any other components so far. I'll give that a test and see.

Thanks man
 
When you say black screening, is it for a moment only or does it persist for a while? Do you perhaps have a Dell monitor? For some of the Dell Monitor's there was an issue with the monitor's auto input detection (or something similar) which caused certain monitors to back out for a second or two and disabling the auto detect on the monitor caused the issue to go away.
Just mentioning it in case.
Anyways, best of luck.

I have an LG 27ul500, I haven't noticed an issue using it with my laptop/wifes laptop at all,.
Once the screen blacks out, it becomes unusable until I switch the PC off and try to reboot it again. Initially before reinstalling windows, it wouldn't restart/shut down at all, and I would have to manually switch the PC off from the PSU. It does have an autodetect feature though, I'll try disabling that tonight and see how far that gets me.
Thanks for the advice man, I appreciate it
