Nvidia 980 Ti one year old instead of fans on card kicking on it blacks out monitor. Anyone know whats up with that?
 
Solution
Could be your power supply, it's not very good quality. Did you check system temps? Test another card in the system or your card in another system with a good quality power supply.
Dead card? Exactly what is happening and need full system specs. Does the computer turn on OK? Do you see the BIOS screen? When does it turn off the monitor? Did you test another connection type, another cable, another card in the system, your card in another system?
