Ive been looking all over the internet for an answer to this question! why does my monitor lose signal when i open a game, my monitor can handle these games, as it has in the past, but sudenly now it doesnt work, Most people say its my PSU that is the problem, but thats not the case, my PSU is a 750watt G2 and it can handle my computer, also people say to boost my CPU fan speed, which i have and now goes over 1,200 RPM, im lost and dont know what to do, my GPU also is a GeForce GTX 1070... please help as i have no clue what to do!
 
Solution
If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)
http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes...

My CPU Temp at Idle is 36C my GPU at Idle is 29-32C. I am yet to check my cables but do not believe this is the problem

what do you mean by Rolling back GPU drivers? im currently going through and searching for dirver updates, even though its saying i dont have any updates
 
I'm referring to using the latest GPU driver. If you have the newest, its worth a shot to uninstall and try the previous version. Sometimes issues crop up when new versions are installed creating issues that weren't there before with regards to video output. This is why I rarely update Nvidia drivers unless I have a need to. The latest may not always be the best.

ive tried that and i dont think thats doesnt change anything, to be specific the games i cant run are "Warface" Arma 3" and PlayerUnknownsBattlegrounds" these are all big games and run 1920X1080 natively, which my computer has been able to handle up until now

After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.
