GPU black screen after a overheat

[eirik.h.kristoffersen]

Hey there, Sorry i dont speak english normaly. so i have a 1 year old gaming pc, and im having serious problems with my gpu (Asus geforce 980 Strix). So i was playing and then both screen turned black. i restarted only to find a black screen again. So when it finally came on it was on low resolution on my main screen. I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it. It worked. Next day the same thing happened and did the same thing. But it didnt work. And then i finally got it to work just by doing something random in the BIOS. I found out the gpu had overheated. and now it happens 5 times a week. i have underclocked it with afterburner and monitors the heat at all times. I could use some help. The GPU still works. Sometimes and im almost depressed about it. Thanks for reading

Make sure you have enough case fans installed. Also turn the fans in the settings to manual so they are constantly cooling the video card

I have already done that it is normally at 50-60 degrees celsius.

I have a Corsair CX650M as PSU My cpu is a Intel i5 6600k and gpu is Asus geforce 980 strix

This happens when gaming correct? Does this happen any other time?

 

[maruniverse7]

What is your peak and average GPU temps

this happens at random, but mostly when i open an application like chrome, steam, mail and such

 

[eirik.h.kristoffersen]

What is your peak and average GPU temps

The peak has been 63 celsius

You video card is not over heating. I used to have this problem a while go. Are you using a display adapter (hdmi to dvi, etc) to display an output to monitor?

This helped with another user a few days ago, Try enabling some power saving modes and see if the screen will go black after a while

 

[eirik.h.kristoffersen]

Right now. The gpu doesnt post nor the fans spin at startup tho. So im having a bad time right now.

 

[maruniverse7]

Whats ur system specs
MB
PSU
CPU
GPU

Did the fans spin on start up?

 

[eirik.h.kristoffersen]

MOBO: Msi B150 Gamin M3
PSU: Corsair CX 650M
CPU: Intel i5-6600k
GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 980 strix

 

[eirik.h.kristoffersen]

So I checked my mobo and it has a EZ DEBUG, and it says it is a VGA Error/Malfunction. A hint in the right direction??

If the GPU is not posting. Remove the GPU from the system (turn off PSU, remove socks and touch case before touching any componets do to static shock) The i5 6600k has its own graphics so after removing the card. Connect display cable to motherboard to monitor and test the system and make sure black screen errors are not from any other component

If you have more than one ram module, remove them and try them one at a time and see if you come across a defective ram module

 

[eirik.h.kristoffersen]

Ok

The screen is back up without the graphics card, YAY! What next

Does the black screen problems stuff occur?
If so is your GPU currently up to date?

Well its without the GPU, And the black screen dosent occur without the GPU. So the GPU is The madman
and i always update the gpu, but it is really slow, if i pop the GPU back in the screen doesnt turn on tho.
