Black screen from time to time with GTX 750Ti

[Xenone]

Yesterday I got the MSi GTX 750Ti low profile OC but when I'm gaming, I get a black screen for 2 seconds, it dosen't say that the drivers crashed ect, it just dosen't show the cause, I have updated the drivers and it seems that it improved it, but it still happens.

Hello!

Well it looks like you're not the only one here....:https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/772676/geforce-700-600-series/gtx-750-ti-random-freezes-black-screen-issues/2/

But a PSU change fixed it for some people so maybe change your PSU if you can? Worth a shot!

My PSU is brand new, I got it a week ago, it's a EVGA 430W PSU so it's a decent one, could this be a timing issue by any chance? Because I need to use a PCIe extension for a week until I get a brand new cooler that will fit inside my case, I never expirenced GPU timing problems so I have no idea how they looks like/what happens.

I think it has something to do with the GPU overheating, have a look at the temps you are getting when you play a game

As soon it did the black screen, I check the GPU temp and it was at 53C, it normally sits in low 50's, I have never passed 60C except when I was benchmarking the GPU.

For idle temps that's a bit high, my 960 cruises on 28C and 60C under load But anyway besides that, can you take a picture of the inside of your PC case, I'd like to see how you have your airflow set up, it shouldn't be temps, but download Afterburner and set your max clock to a lower value, this has helped some people that I have seen face this issue before

Also reinstalling all drivers should help you out a bit hopefully

I was talking about temps when I was gaming, the black screen only appears when I'm gaming and when it appeared, I went straight to Afterburner and checked , we had a small miss-understanding there I have been always using Afterburner, it's mky favourite and I haven't touched the settings except the fan controls which I set on max all the time. The PC is burried inside my server room and it's a bit hard to take a picture of it, if you really need it, I can, and before you ask, the server room is air conditioned and it's always at 20C so it's a perfect room tempture for a PC to work in. Not sure if this has anything to do with this, but I noticed, when the black screen appears, it seems like Afterburner changes fans speeds from Manual 100%, to Automatic 35%, as if Afterburner was playing up? And everytime the black screen appears I have to go back in Afterburner and change it back to Manual 100%.

I will try to re-install my whole Nvidia system on my PC because I still have settings/drivers from my old GT 610, not sure if it could conflict with the 750Ti drivers.

Oh sorry about that, fan speeds at 100% all of the time? The factory default automatic fan control will be the better option because otherwise your GPU fans are always at 100% which might cause problems.
