Sorry man, admittedly I skimmed pretty hard…I would look at the PSU, if I was in your situation.

So the PSU was definitely not a suspect?

I say this all the time on here, but… Are you plugged into a splitter/strip?

It’s always a possibility, even manual switches fail from time to time.

Check for driver updates regarding display/graphics. (Unlikely the issue)

The television might use an old generation of HDMI (slower/less data transfer) and the updated device could be too much for it?

Also, try different hdmi cables to rule out a faulty one.

No sweat, and keep looking, your sure to find one that works for you.

Or you could build your own from scratch… Far cheaper, and not hard for beginners.

That cpu is from 2012 also, a tad dated buddy … It can’t support any type of modern gaming.

Gpu?

Does it only cut the display? What kind of gpu? Has your unit been the same setup for awhile?

Is someone else on the LAN using more bandwidth than usual?

Also, without a game running, pull up the task manager. Then head over to the performance and select “network”, and see if something running behind the scene is using the network dramatically.

Could be a driver issue with the internal adapter? Any windows updates pending install?

Also, windows 10 or 11?

Just make sure you completely boot down, and unplug your pc beforehand.

You’ll be golden, the pc won’t even know it was gone.

Yeah bro… you need to utilize the same size ram in each channel.

Go 8GB+8GB.

If you want to upgrade anything else, you need to take note of your motherboard, your PSU, and processor.

Motherboard compatibility first, then power draw compared to your PSU.

Also take note of tower space, micro atx vs atx etc.
