PC "No Signal" Randomly? Help?

[Nathan_GamingUK]

today i was play GTA 5 and about 30mins into playing my screen said "No Signal" after waiting for 10-20secs it then came back on,

i could still hear game audio while this happened.

 

later on through the day i was browsing the internet and then my tab crashed displaying a crash message saying something about ram,

if the ram is causing this then i guess its ok as i have made plans to buy 24Gb (6x4Gb Kit) of Corsair Vengence.

 

My Specs:

R9 270

12gb Of Kingston KVR1066D3N7K2/8G 

900w PSU

Asus p6x58d-e - Motherboard

i7 930 @2.8Ghz

120gb OCZ agility 3 SSD

 

I will attach the image of what i seen on google chrome with the crash message.

so you have 3 sticks of ram in your system?

[Nathan_GamingUK]

yes

[Nathan_GamingUK]

if this helps i did have four sticks of ram in the system adding up to a total of 16gb but a stick died on me about a week ago.

if the screen say No Signal wouldnt it be your graphic card fault? maybe another stick of ram died?

[Nathan_GamingUK]

it could be but would it cause it to say "no signal" then pop back on?

Have you tried dropping to two sticks to test if the problem still happens? I would try that first and make sure to look at your mobos manual to see which slots to use for a two stick setup. the reason i say this is a 3 stick setup is unusual and it might be causing the problem.

[Nathan_GamingUK]

ill give it ago but my mobo is a triple channel board so could that have a difference?

[Nathan_GamingUK]

testing now be back shortly..

i agree that one of the 3 sticks left might also be causing a problem. So for step two of trouble shooting try switch the sticks around in a two stick setup. (if just taking the third stick out doesn't fix it.) 

 

also you can try using memtest

it might be (MIGHT) that the ram you bought was quad channel ram? and maybe the ram its self doesn't like to play well in a 3 channel setup. This is just a random guess on my part though with no info to back it up.

i took the 3rd stick of ram out and so far so good testing GTA 5 now but i uninstalled memtest and no errors was found

maybe a problem with the cable?

[Nathan_GamingUK]

cable to what component my friend?

[mad dudy]

cable to what component my friend?

graphic card to screen if you still getting that no signal problem, guessing your not.

Most probably a loose connection(cable) between cpu and monitor..Hence the "No signal" display..and about chrome..It has crash issues brother.(maybe u load too many tabs at a time)
