So I'm having an issue with my GTX 480 graphics card were I lose signal and my screen goes black (monitor tells me no signal). This would happen at random times every now and then and I could never find the issue. Now it is happening at the login screen (I can hear the windows startup sound so I know its running). I followed the advice of a friend and remove my password login and it now it losses signal but reappears once my account logs in. I am at a complete loss with what the problem is.
So far I have
1. Tried a second boot of windows 7(same version with same drivers) where the issue doesn't occur
2. Removed and Reinstalled Drivers numerous times, including trying different versions of drivers
3. Run computer in Safe mode and no issue
So I'm 95% sure it isn't the card or drivers since it works fine on my other boot, but I'm not sure what I could be going wrong in my windows 7 to have this issue. This leaves me to believe its either the SSD that version of Windows is on or something is wrong with my install of Windows.
I'm planning to format the drive and reinstall windows soon but I just want to see if anyone has a solution before I resort to this
