EVGA GTX 680 classified random signal loss

[sahilah123]

First here are my system specs.

Asrock z77 extreme 4
i5 2400 @3.2ghz
Samsung 850 evo ssd in raid 0 (250gb X 4)
visiontek 16gb ddr3
evga 850watt (70 amps on a 12volt rail)
evga gtx 680 classified not overclocked
nvidia driver version 390.77
windows 7 pro 64bit

Randomly while using my computer the monitor will lose signal until I hard reset the computer. Sound and mouse clicks still work while the signal is lost. Sometimes it will black screen when Im reading something online or sometimes an hour into gaming. It isnt effected by load at all. Totally random when it decides to drop the signal.

This issue has occurred on many different nvidia driver versions and I recently got new SSDs and have a fresh windows install and it still happens.

No entries of the drops in event viewer but I found it in reliability history.
