When I'm playing black ops 3 (only game this happens on) the computer would, out of no where lose signal to the monitor(acer predator xb271hu). The pc is still running and the game is too as I can hear it. This is my set up; z170 g1 gigabyte MB, i5 6600k 4.5ghz, 2 evga gtx 980 sli, and evga 750 g2 psu. It's not a over heating problem Ive ran Valley and furmark QHD maxed everything 1 card hitting 80c and the the other 74c after 30 minutes. The game would usually shut the monitor off after 15-30 minutes of playing. I have no idea whats going on. Any other game this doesn't happen or on canned benchmarks. Any help will be much appreciated

I think All your issues will be solved if you upgrade the PSU to atleast an 850W unit, you can practically verify this by using an 850W PSU if u can get a spare one..

PS. I am pleasantly surprised at the quality and endurance of the EVGA G2 series that it has managed to run the PC this far, other PSUs would probably have quit long-ago..

Ok so i swapped out the psu, still happened. So i did the calculator with my exact specs these are the result, http://outervision.com/b/dx7a38 so im guesing its not a power issue either. Only thing to blame is the mb itself or one of the gpu's. That or the game is just broken/glitched in some way. Ive been dealing with computers for a while now, this is the only thing that has me completely stumped

My bad dude, I thought it was a 980 Ti.. guess didn't look close enough.. 🙁

I guess it is certain that you have tried all routine things like Antivirus scan, swapping monitor cable connectors etc.. Sorry couldn't help you more.. 🙁 🙁

I Figured it out, It was a memory leak. When i had memory leaks before the games would just slow down to 1-15 fps, now Black ops 3 just shuts off the monitor for some reason and another game Just cause 3 crashes and then restarts the computer. Swapped them out for new sticks and it seems to be good for now.
