I just got a new EVGA GTX 1080 FTW. Shortly after I installed it i noticed that when I push the card at all (I was playing the Witcher 3) the screen goes black and the GPU fans goes crazy. The game is still running and everything (I can hear my character moving around and stuff).

I have an 850W EVGA PSU so I don't think that's the issue. Could it be the anti-surge protection on the mobo? I've heard that can be pretty finnicky at times.

I had this exact same problem before with my 770, and when I installed new BIOS it fixed the problem, it literally never happened again. I tried that again tonight and I'm still having issues. I checked all my temps and they look normal (CPU, VRM, etc.). If you have any idea what this could be please help!

Thanks :)
