Hi.
Im on huge stress with this problem. I just left the PC repair guy with a nice fat bill and a supposingly repaired PC.
Whenever i started my pc i would get no signal problems turns out my Motherboard was destroyed. I get a call from the guy telling me i would need to replace my motherboard, my cpu cooler(the old one was huge) and my PSU. Fine. Didnt even test those parts in another PC they might be OK and i dont know... Only thing i can see by myself is the burnt motherboard metal conector.
Getting to the point, my PC starts beautifully i can browse on the web, download stuff, watch youtube/movies/twitch , everything OK. I then wanted to play some games i tried CS:GO 15 min in the game, a no signal screens pops. Im already scared for my life. Then the monitor goes full black and the monitor button light starts blinking(like it was asleep). I restart my PC everything is fine with it again. CS:GO again, 5 min in another ''no signal'' screen.
Tested Arma 2 Dayz it worked for some hours and some days the no screen happened once i continued playing it after it was looking not so critical. Just got The Crew as soon as i start the Roadtrip the no screen pops again, have to restart the PC again. Theres so much restarting im afraid my PC might get damaged.
I heard about Furmark, downloaded it and had the following settings:
-Windowed (Fullscreen Box unticked)
-1280x720 Resolution / Antialising OFF
-GPU: 29 degrees , power: 5.1% TDP

As soon i start it 2 seconds in the GPU stress test the no signal screen appears. I had to restart my PC.
Im scared i have more faulty parts and have to do replacing i dont have the money for.
Is it a PSU problem, drivers problem or cable? Should i try connecting my HDMI to mobo port?

I have:
i5 3570k
Nvidia GTX 770
New cooler: DeepCool Gammaxx 200TT
New PSU: Has 500W in contrast to the Old 650W one
ASROCK h61m-vg4


Thank you in advance
 
Sounds like a bad video card.

PSU has plenty of power, but I don't know what the quality is. It too could be the problem.

Troubleshooting:
1) Attach monitor to motherboard. This probably will be stable. If so it likely means a bad PSU or bad GTX770. (the iGPU uses less lower)

2) Then swap PSU or GTX770. Whatever is easiest.

*Don't pay him any more money. He should be fixing the issue for free.

My money is on the GTX770.

Other:
If you know how to DOWNCLOCK the GTX770 you can try doing both the GPU and VRAM (memory) on that card. That would prove the GPU is the issue, though frankly I'd let him handle it.

Maybe he'll let you BORROW a card to test so you don't have to haul it in?

Other:
I doubt it's a video driver issue, but you can:
a) DDU http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
b) install latest NVidia driver
 


I never go above 350W with an i7-3770K + GTX680 (1200MHz), 16GB DDR3, 3xHDD's, 4xfans.

It's not a power AMOUNT issue but could be a power QUALITY issue. Either way, it's not his issue IMO (he should have it fixed for free).

Frankly, I wonder how well this was tested? It should have been stress-tested and revealed the issue right away, and I doubt it's an issue that didn't happen until he came home.
 


Hi. Thanks for the reply. I have no idea since the box is in the trash, he threw it himself. Its a silver metal one kinda cheap looking to be honest. I only know my previous one was 650w and worked great until it failed but now with the 500w it runs great except when i play games and do a stress test.
 


OK, about the driver i already did that thing couple days ago it still happens. I noticed sometimes the game stays up for 10minutes, sometimes for 5minutes it depends. But when i stress tested it it failed in like 2 seconds.
So i know how to connect the monitor to the motherboard but i can leave the gpu still plugged to the pc etc right?
I just dont have much more cash to throw in a new gpu since i already spent some Money repairing it...
 


I actually did tested it on a game called City Car Driving i had on the PC at the time i couldnt try the CS GO because there was no internet to open steam etc. With that game it worked fine but when i got home and played some CS GO it went crazy with the ''No signals''
 


There should be a manufacturer's specification label attached to the side of the power supply unit.
 


I actually didnt find anything just a code number
