Hi Guys,
So , I got a wierd problem,like I always do.
You can find my specs in signature.
I only recently built the PC.
Just to clarify, Monitor has freesync and I am running gsync via DP.
So, only when playing games and locking the fps so that my gpu usage is low does this happen.
I first noticed when playing siege as I have the game locked at 72 fps forcing the GPU to stay around 50 % usage. onyl rarely it happened.
Then I lock fps at 45 on origins to see if low gpu usage was the real reason for random 1 sec black screens. low and behold it is the reason apparently.
Never happened when browing or watching videos, playing origins locked at 72 fps, it never happened.
Running Unigine forever, never happened.
GPU with or without overlock doesn't change a thing.
Things ruled out, it is not the monitor, I had to replace my first piece for a different issue. This issue was there in the first piece as well.
Doesn't seem to be the GPU as I recorded the origins gameplay with shadowplay and the blackscreen is not in the video.
I am leaning towards the DP cable being the culprit, but why would it happen only when the GPU is underutilized if its the cable, too wierd.
DDU ran, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. nothing's helped so far.
Could it just be Windows throwing a tantrum as the installation was an image the store(store where the pc was built) had on a pendrive, it seems to have been a cloned image from a different pc.
Can you guys help, any assistance is appreciated.
