Screen losing signal mid-game, mid boot up and general use.

[AusCarni]

Hey all!

So I've been having this problem on and off for about 2 months now and haven't found any clear solutions.

Sometimes while I've been playing games or just generally using my PC (Trawling the web, using multiple programs etc.) the screen will pop up with an error "Signal lost" it then tries the other inputs then goes black and the power button orange. Sometimes rebooting (Using the reset button) it will boot back up instantly no worries, other times it takes 6-8 reboots before it pops back up and when it does windows runs a "Repair diagnostic" for a few minutes.

It definitely seems to happen more often when playing graphic heavy games and newer titles, but not exclusively. On a few rare occasions it will actually make a noise like I've unplugged a device from the computer.

Does it run with the onboard graphics with no issues? Did you test the system with another video card or test your card in another system? Try different RAM? Reseat components? Try a clean Windows setup?
