DVI Input Disconnects Randomly and CPU fans go crazy.

[Bastillux]

Outside of a game, everything is running smoothly as expected. Depending on the game, in between 5-15 minutes my DVI Input becomes disconnected from the GPU, making my monitor turn off, and seemingly all the fans in my case go much faster.

When this does happen, I can still hear all desktop audio, from in-game to my friends in Discord. It is not dusty, as it has only been a few weeks since I cleaned my case and installed the new GPU.

What are the possibilities of my (very annoying) issue? Could it be a heating issue? This problem literally started the yesterday night of November 21st, pretty much out of nowhere.

Well it sounds like maybe the DVI cable or maybe the something else is going on. I still think your GPU is the issue, but we can only know for sure if you can use another GPU.

Would it be best to just make use of my warranty and make a call/attempt to replace it? Or should I wait for the thermal pads and see what happens at that point?

I would start the process and see what they have to say. If you have a buddy with another GPU handy, you could hit him up for borrowing his for a few test, so you can make sure that it is just the GPU issue. This way you can rule out the DVI cable and the Monitor out all in one test of another GPU.
