Hi guys. I've got a maddening problem. So my gf has had this gaming pc for a few years now. i3, 560ti, 10 gb ram 750 bronze psu. 3 weeks ago in the middle of gaming her monitor loses signal. After encountering the issue a few times we investigate and learn the case was super dusty and a fan didn't function on the gpu (had 2 fans) so we dust and vaccum that sucker as best we can but the issue persisted.
So we assume the gpu is to blame and we purchased a gtx 970. But the issue still happens. When it happens we can still hear game sound and control the character.
The baffling part for me is that we can play a game for a random amount of time before it happens. For instance we can play Ark survival evolved for about 15 - 20 mins or stand idle in Guild Wars 2 for over an hour. Activly playin Gw2 triggers the issue after 30 or so mins. And a couple times it happened when it was simply on the desktop.
We tried reseating the gpu and the ram, tried different monitors, cables and inputs(vga, hdmi) .but no luck. We arent able to test the gpu or the psu in a separate system.
So any ideas? :/
