Gtx 1080ti Aorus

I7 4790 @3.6ghz

Asus Z97-K(2012)

 

I was playing fortnite and pubg today and I was having consistent black screens on my main monitor at regular intervals, (lasting 5 seconds ish), this happened so it's obviously not a monitor issue.

 

My GPU runs everything fine and no problems other than what could be one here, heat is fine, I even have fans up higher than usual, what is causing this, is it CPU related? Regards, Leon.

That is GPU artifacting caused by Failing VRAM. Time to either RMA if its still under warranty, or buy a new card if its not.

Looks like some memory artifacts from the GPU. If you have any overclocks applied to the graphics card then remove them and reset it to default to see if that fixes the problem.

Your GPU is artifacting, most likely being caused by VRAM. If you've overclocked the card, remove the OC and see if it still happens. If it's not overclocked and you've got warranty on your card then RMA it. If it's not overclocked and you're out of warranty then you'll just have to buy a new GPU.
