Please help me out!
I've been trying to understand what's causing this problem for a couple months now.
PC works fine for any task not involving GPU, but i get this problem on some (not all) games :
At some point while in the game, seemingly at random time, the monitor will turn black and give a "NO SIGNAL" warning, while the GPU fan goes at max speed, and stays this way untill i power it down with the power-button on the case. While this is happening, i can hear the sound of the game still going as if nothing happened ( i can also hear and talk through voice-chat ). A few seconds after the screen turns black i can also hear windows' sound notification of something being disconnected and reconnected right after (Could this be the GPU?).
Theese are the components :
MotherBoard : Asus sabertooth X79
CPU : Intel Core i7-4820K
RAM : G Skill F3-12800CL9 4GB (x2)
GPU : EVGA NVidia GTX 770
Power Supply : Cooler Master V850 850W 80 PLUS Gold
The OS is windows 10 64bit
At first i thought i had an overheating problem, so i dusted out the GPU and the CPU coolers, and kept an eye on the temperatures. The CPU never exceeds 45°C, and rarely goes up to 35°C anyway. The GPU instead goes up to 80°C when under heavier load (90% and up), and rests at 25°C on idle.
The temperatures seemed fine to me, but i tried gaming on lower settings anyway, and the problem occurred anyway (on some games, this reduced the frequency of the problem occuring).
I tried checking the RAM and it came out clean.
I also tried changing the PCI slot of the GPU and checked the power cables were not loose, no effect.
I ran some stress test for both CPU and GPU to check the behaviour under load, and all went fine, no black monitor and same temperatures as in demanding games.
I would really appreciate some help, i don't know what to do at this point!
