@techguru thanks for the reply! i would try that However i have all my cords for everything run through sleeves and stuff so i cant physically move the monitors without undoing it all, and i have just tried changing the ports. However now that i know Netflix is causing it, it's not really a problem . but thanks!!

Weird. the monitor seems to be in a sleep mode but does not wake back up. i think i may have figured it out tho. it doesn't make any sense to me but Netflix seems to be causing it. I'm not sure how but i think that is it. i closed Netflix and haven't had any further problems (So Far). That is it indeed. I just opened Netflix again and once again it shut off. closed Netflix and BAM right back on (Netflix is the page open in the picture). This is very very weird. but i guess that's it! Thanks for the reply @Darkman! hopefully this thread can help someone!

Hey guy's, so i'm having an issue with my monitor randomly blacking out, i'll go ahead and list my specs real quick then i'll go a little more into detail. MotherBoard: Asus Rog CrossHair V Formula Z. CPU: AMD FX-8350. RAM: 16 Gigs G.Skill Trident X (2400MHz). PSU: EVGA Supernova 1000W G2. GPU(s): 2 Radeon HD 7950 DD's (In Crossfire). Okay so i have a triple monitor setup on my Crossfire setup. i don't have EyeFinity enabled just using 3 monitors. Main Display is a vizio LEDTV (Detected as display number 2) plugged into HDMI. then a Hyundai monitor (Detected as number 3) plugged into Mini Display port with a Mini Display to VGA Active adapter. And a HP w19 Monitor (Detected as number 1) plugged into VGA. So the HP Monitor randomly goes black. my Computer stays on and the other 2 screens stay on. but that monitor just blacks out. it's still on but is black, it shows picture for a little after a reboot. i've noticed while watching netflix, when i start a new episode it goes black, then if i start another one after that it will turn back on for a little bit, if i unplug it and plug it back in the display will come back shortly. but then i have the issue again. i have tried it with the Active adapter and just plugged into the VGA. the problem wen't away for a little while but just randomly came back. i have tried different catalyst driver versions, including the latest and older ones. if anyone can help that would be awesome! Thanks!

@brandishwar Thanks i have actually done that but just with a little USB fan till i can get another motherboard. my chassis doesn't really have anywhere to mount any fans without it being a complete JimmyRig, And i tried to keep my build as clean as i could! but it was a good idea anyway! just going to order a new motherboard. and @incarnate I have listened to your "Reason" And it has been noted. However i like AMD and as i already had an AMD MotherBoard i got an AMD CPU, yes i have to get a new motherboard anyway, But i didn't know i would have to. and now seeing as i have the FX-8350 i plan on getting a motherboard for it. i see no reason to sell my 3 week old CPU for a fraction of what it cost (Because it's Used) just to pay even more for Intel because someone else likes them better. So your Opinion has been noted! but I'm going to stick with AMD because that's what i want and it's my System. If you don't like it, That's okay because it is Mine. and you don't have to post on the thread. Thank you tho! so i will be getting the Crosshair V. Now if anyone has anything, (That will help me with my question) On how to clock my RAM/CPU to get the most out of my 2400MHz. i would love the input! If not i guess this thread is done, And i will look elsewhere! Thank you guys for the help! And even for the opinions! even if it was a little rude.

@incarnate Thanks for your Input! i appreciate it a lot! However I already have the FX-8350 and i plan on sticking with it. i know there's a whole lot of back and forth between AMD and Intel. and Intel seems to be a favorite! but i like AMD and i'm going to stick with AMD. So thanks! So really i just want to know if there is anyone that has the ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula Z with this CPU and what they think about it. and if there is anyone that has done, Or has info on getting my ram to run at it's full potential. (Not By Switching To Intel) Thanks Guys!

Any more Help or recommendations on a board? i kinda have my eye set on the ASUS ROG CrossHair V Formula Z. but am still open to suggestions. and if anybody has any tips on what i will need to do to get my ram to run the full 2400MHz or at-least close! it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you guys for the quick replies! @Tedster I've looked into it and done all i could find in my BIOS and still had the issue. I think the best plan will be to just get another Motherboard, And i will use this one for another lower end build. @Atomicnerd64 Thanks for the recommendations! i'll look into those! and black works! I've thought about trying Intel but as i already had an AMD socket Motherboard i bought this 8350, And it was a lot cheaper then Intel. also i do a lot of video editing and rendering, and work with Adobe AE and Photoshop and stuff, So that is one of the reasons i want to run my Ram at the higher frequency. and wen't with the 8350. I'm sure it's probably bottlenecking my GPU's but i don't usually play anything really Graphic intense. So thanks for the input! but i think im going to stick with my 8350.

Hey guys, So i just built a new system, It's my first build and I'm starting to see i didn't cover all my bases with my research. lol. So first off i'll list my specs then get down to the problem and see if i can get some help and recommendations. Thanks In Advance! (Sorry this is so long!) OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64 Bit) MotherBoard: MSI 970A-G45. CPU: AMD FX-8350, AM3+ 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) 125Watt, 8MB L3 Cache CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i . Memory: 16GB G.Skill TridentX (2X8GB) 2400MHz DDR3, Cas Latency 10, 1.65 Volts, Not sure if it matters but the timing is 10-12-12-31. Graphics: XFX Radeon HD7950 DD (X2 CrossFire). Power Supply: Corsair CX750M 80+ Bronze (750Watt) Storage: 480GB SanDisk Ultra II SSD, 1TB WesternDigital Cavier Green, 2TB SeaGate Barracuda. ASUS AC-1900 Dual Band Wireless Adapter. Alright so those are the specs, Now down to the problem. So after a while of heavy CPU use (About 5 Mins at 100%) My Processor starts Throttling and The temp (All CPU Meter) Jumps up to around 255C, Now obviously the CPU temp Isn't really getting that high otherwise I'm sure there would be smoke and melting and stuff. So i did some research! It seems to be a very common issue with this CPU, MotherBoard combo. So after countless hours of research, And trying everything I could find online, and nothing working, I found something about it being caused by the MotherBoard, So i did some troubleshooting of my own, And found out that it is from the MosFets by the CPU Heating up, Now i confirmed this by letting it Heat up and start throttling, Then took a can of compressed air and blew off the MosFets, and The temp Starts dropping really fast till it stops throttling and the temp returns to normal. So I need a new BotherBoard. So if any of you guys have similar builds i need some recommendations on a new MotherBoard! Now that kinda leads to another small issue. So My RAM is currently only Running at 1600MHz because it wasn't stable at anything higher. Now i know this is largely because the FX Series CPU Can't handle much. So I want a motherboard that has the best chance of getting the most out of my RAM, and then if you guys could help me do whatever Overclocking is needed to get the most out of my ram, I think I've read that the FX series can handle 2133MHz so if i can atleast get that, i would be happy with it. So any recommendations on a MotherBoard i will get one ordered as soon as i decide what i want (based off your recommendations) Then any help towards Overclocking The CPU for the higher ram Frequency would be really awesome! Also quick note! i don't really care what the price is! Preferably not over $500 tho lol. Also Would prefer if it was a red color scheme to match my build. Thanks a ton in advance!! MIKE
