Hello!

I recently started getting an issue and I'm not quite sure of what sort of issue it is. I've been using a GeForce 550ti 'AMP' with a 550w PSU and I'm not sure whether its the PSU or GPU.

The problem: My monitor blacks out and doesnt turn back on, forcing me to 'hard-reboot'(holding down the power button and waiting to restart). This happens during idling and during loads. I've dusted everything out and I have a spare GPU I can use, but I'm not sure if thats the issue. I've suspected it's a failing PSU, but I havent even had this sucker for ~12 months.

Any suggestions on how to fix it or how to narrow down the issue would be fantastic.
 
Swapped the GPU with an older one, and I've yet to see the screen go black. Luckily GPU's arent overly expensive.
