GTX Titan - Monitor randomly goes "No Signal"

Hey Guys!

Earlier this month I decided I should try COD:AW, to see if Activision had finally pulled a decent COD game again and after some hours playing it I realized they did. The game was running fine despite the lag, but that wasn't my fault, it was the game's, until something that WAS MY FAULT happened: After sometime playing my screen would just change into a random solid color (but I would still hear the game) and either go black and display "No Signal" or after sometime the game would crash and it would prompt me to my desktop with a popup "Nvidia Graphics Driver 344.60 WHQL has recuperated...". 
At first I thought it was my driver, so I downgraded to 344.48 WHQL but it would still happen. Later, 344.65 WHQL launched but no luck there aswell. Now I'm on 344.75 WHQL and it just happened while I was playing Dayz Standalone (this time around it displayed the no signal, no recuperation occurred).
I have no idea what to do, buy a new GPU? Change my thermal compound? Upgrade my BIOS? I have no clue. Please enlighten me.

Best Regards,
João

It will be your HDMI more than likely, buy a new one or check the cable is in correctly.

 

Sometimes HDMI's do bend in the actual female slot, this can cause problems.

driver crash, probably from overclocking, or trying to run a gpu intensive task in the background while running Cod.

 

*edit* or like skeletor Jackson said, the cable needs replacing.

Nice, okay. Gonna hook it up through DVI, hoping for the best.

 

Thanks a lot Mush.

Well, I had it overclocked before (slightly) but when this first happened I removed the OC.

 

I am not aware of any intensive tasks running on the background but I'll check it out.

 

Thanks!

Try the following. Installing fresh drivers but using Display Driver Uninstaller first.  

 

Uninstall your current drivers (make sure you have the newest drivers already downloaded to your computer though). Restart. Make sure Windows Update DOES NOT automatically install drivers for you (you can do this by unplugging internet for a moment). Run Display Driver Uninstaller, Basically Select Both NVIDIA and AMD and select "Uninstall Current and Previous Drivers, DO NOT RESTART."  Then restart after you do both AMD and NVIDIA removal. Install New Drivers after restarted (the ones you have downloaded already). Restart Computer. Plug in internet again, make sure Windows Update doesn't try to install an older version of the drivers (if you see it appears in Windows Update just hide it). 

 

See if that works.

I think it's not the cable because it's not only the HDMI monitor that doesn't show stuff, the VGA one doesn't aswell.

You have integrated graphics on your 2500k, see if that works.

Try downclocking your cards -100MHz on the core and memory. Then run Heaven Benchmark 4.0. See if it loses signal there after doing that.

I guess it worked for a while, then I was reading the news on Chrome and it happened again...

Few other things you can try:

 

Go to Power Options in Control Panel in Windows and select "High Performance" 

 

Open NVIDIA Control Panel, go to Manage 3D Settings, under Power management mode select "Prefer maximum performance." 

 

Also, did you open up  your computer and check all your cables. Make sure everything is plugged in all the way. Have you tried re-seating the card itself. Double checking all the wires in the process make sure everything is plugged in fully.

Have yet to that kind of issue between my cards. Except when flashing the bios.

 

How long does it take to happen while gaming or benchmarking? Are monitoring the temps of the cpu/gpu?

 

Depending on the age and how you bought it, the thermal compound could be an issue.

It happens randomly. Sometimes I can play for an hour without crashes, sometime 5 min. I was browsing LTT 2 minutes ago and it happened. It isn't workload related.

I was actually having this problem with my 550ti sli setup awhile back. Cant remember for sure what was done to fix it, pretty sure a re install of windows covered everything.

Do you have another card you can test out with to see if it has the same problem. Maybe borrow a friend's card and test it out for a little bit. Because if it doesn't have the problem with another card then, it's obviously the Titan and it needs to be RMA'ed.

I have the same issue but I am not able to resolve it with any means. I bought x titan 200 from cyberpowerpc and after playing game for like an hour display went black and did not come back again. I have no clue how to proceed with this problem. I do not have any display
