is it my gpu?

hahaha , i enjoyed stable 2014 drivers for my 780ti for almost a year never failed me

Ever since June they have been fucking up left and right, one driver they released would have problems crashing your entire system when using chrome.

Hmmm though my issue isn't continuous it happens here n there and when I switch the onboard input on my monitor and switch it from display port to something else then back it fixes it

 

That's totally possible if the supply has a floating ground. The supply is probably switch-mode, which produces stable voltages by pumping energy into a large smoothing capacitor, using a feedback loop to verify that the voltage is steady. By switching your display ports around, you're causing changes in power consumption, which drains the caps and forces the supply to pump more energy in to keep the voltage steady. In doing so, you could easily be changing the ground reference in relation to your PC's ground.

 

Honestly, for the $10 a ground loop isolator costs, you should at least try it out.

Well can you explain why I'm having my monitors freak out go black and say no display input ?

Hmm. If the ground loop is bad enough it may be affecting your display connectors too. But then again it could be a totally unrelated issue.

 

Or your monitor is faulty - bad power supply, bad regulators, could be anything.

That would mean two bad monitors that are both different brands and use different inputs

Probably an unrelated issue to the audio problems, then.
