Question GPU issue? Happened after i swapped some power cables

[shadezkyle]

this is a random issue that i cant figure out. It normally happens when im playing a video game on my main monitor and have a movie / stream open on the 2nd monitor. Im not really sure what is causing it.

My left monitor will shut off for about 15 seconds, and then the right one will shut down for about 5 seconds
Here is a video

Are you using 2 different power cables to the GPU or one that has 2 connectors on it? If you are using one cable make sure the first plug is in the first slot to the right and second to the back. That being said it's a 3080 that is known for power spikes etc and the G3 units were pretty bad compared to the g2. 2 power cables is recommended vs 1 with piggy back.

Yea im using two cables on two of the 3 slots on the GPU

so one of them is connected to two slots

I would download DDU and put the drivers back in and see if that stops the issues. If that does not stop the issues I would say the issue lies in the power supply.

Make sure to test all of this with only one monitor plugged in.

Just make sure from left to right you have the single plug in the first slot, on the second slot the 2nd plug and piggy back in the 3rd
