Possible GPU Problem?

[Maxisthemoose]

So sometimes when I am on my computer, my monitor screen will randomly show no signal and all audio stops. Sometimes it is under load and sometimes it isn't. It was happening when my GPU was a 1060 6gb, now it is a 1070 ti (Still happening). I replaced my PSU, 500W EVGA 80+ Bronze to a 650W EVGA 80+ Gold.  I have all of my Drivers updated and I have tried DDU. No luck so far. When the screen shows no signal, the PC itself continues running but all audio turns of and the lights on only my mouse go out.

All my power cables are fully plugged in and I have tried so many things. Thank you in advance.

 

(I have set all overclocks to default factory settings and it still happens)

could be an issue with your mobo

 

doubt its a gpu issue since it wouldn't cause audio or mouse lights to stop working

Have you tried a different monitor or different display input port on your current monitor? It could be a capacitor issue with your monitor itself causing to get disconnected momentarily. I have this issue with an old Dell monitor on one of my rigs. Only does it with DVI, not VGA.

No I have not, but I also switched from 1080p to 1440p, so I'm not sure. I'll try that.

 

Also, some pictures, doubt it will help but here.

OMG you also have this issue?
I thought there was something bad happening with my System.

Here is the quick fix.
This issue is caused by the 4xx drivers ( confirmed ).
I switched back to 388.xx driver version now everything is working fine for me.
PS: i also have GTX 1070Ti.

388.xx

The oldest driver on their website is 399.24... at least that I can find, if you have a link to the driver you are using can you please share that? Thanks for the advice!

Ahh interesting, that problem mentioned by OP happened to me too a week ago

 

Do you have the source that confirms the 4xx driver issue?

i had the issue with 4xx, so consider me the source, also if you having same issue try the 3xx drivers, you will become the source too.

Thank you so much honestly. This has completely stopped the problem and now my GPU temps are also cooler. It was running at 38ishC with 4xx Drivers installed and now with the 388.71 Drivers its temps have gone down to 30ishC idle. Also under load the temps went down and my FPS went up! Was running 80C under 100% load with around 50-60 FPS Max settings 1440p on The Witcher 3 and now running at 60-70C with 70-80 FPS same settings.

 

Thank you so much!!!!
