I enjoy streaming on twitch and/or playing video games on my HP Pavilion. I hook it up to an HP monitor, my keyboard, webcam, and a Scarlett focusrite for audio. Occasionally, mid-stream, my monitor will turn off, then webcam, audio interface, and audio output. And I'll have to restart my PC. It's important to note that not everything goes off at once, it usually starts with a black monitor screen. This is super frustrating, and I'm not sure why it's happening. I suspect it's some sort of power issue, but I don't know how to fix it. It's crashed on stream multiple times. My machine has 16gb of RAM, so I don't suspect that this is the issue.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? If I'm just browsing the internet, everything is fine, but if I do anything else I risk having it shut down in the middle of it. Any pointers and tips are appreciated. Thank you!
