My desktop started randomly "crashing" but its not actually crashing, the video card stops sending any signal. I have no idea how to diagnose the problem since there is no bsod.

I have tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to help. Is there a way to figure out for sure if its a faulty gpu?

 

I upgraded the video card in December, along with a new install of windows on a new SSD. After 2 months of no issues I started getting this issue. Prior to the GPU upgrade I was going strong with zero issues since 2013.

 

Windows 7 pro 64 bit

Sabertooth x79

Intel i7 4930k

4x4GB gskill ripjaw ddr3 2133mhz

EVGA 2080 super FTW3 ultra

Samsung 860 EVO SSD 2TB

Corsair AX 1200

Is it slotted in properly. Try re seating it. Are any connectors loose. Try reinstalling the drivers. Windows might be trying to install drivers and then it stops sending signal.

Please tag me @Windows9 so I can see your reply

I've tried this already. I've also tried moving it to different pcie slots. It hasn't helped

I have also reinstalled drivers and updated drivers.

Try running only 1 monitor, see what happens

It just crashed again. Temp was at 59 and the fans stopped spinning after it crashed.

Well, I tried a new graphics card with fresh drivers, and I still have the same issue.
