Screen goes black after very short amount of time

[Diss]

As title

This happens in win 10 and Ubuntu.

The screen goes black in win 10 before I can even login and even in safe mode it happens after 2 mins.

In Ubuntu I can login but after a minute or two the screen goes black as well.

The light on the monitor stays green.

I'm thinking faulty GPU or is there anything else that might cause this?

Thanks

Specs would be handy.

I'm betting it's a 290.....

It's an old and 6900

Is it even possible it is broke but still works fine up to or just after the login? During BIOS and win10 boot grapics everything is displayed.

In win10 it (the screen) usually goes black before it gets to the login screen, though this morning I could login and it was a couple of minutes before it went black. Pretty sure win10 hasn't crashed as I can hear the login chimes even with a black screen.

If you have an Intel igpu cpu, disable(NOT uninstall) Intel graphics in safe mode.

970's got a better selection-pink/white/black/grey
