![]() Switched monitor off and on after losing signal.Ĭhecked temps (GPU runs at around 60 degrees centigrade and Cores float around 40-50) ![]() I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning but I installed a new motherboard and CPU about a month ago, I had some problems with the installation (you can see the posts on my profile) but in the end it all worked out and has ran smoothly and without any complications until today. I can browse the internet without any problem but as soon as I start playing any game for 5 minutes (even CS:GO and WoW) the signal cuts out. It won't regain the signal until I reboot the PC manually by holding down the power button. My problem is as the title says, after a while of playing any game my monitors display will turn black and lose signal. All the power settings are set to never go off/high performance.Preface: I posted this over in displays but after connecting my other monitor and got the same result, so it's not a problem with my display as far as I can tell. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.Įdit: BTW it's got nothing to do with my settings for monitor timeout/sleep. TL DR: Monitor loses signal within minutes, sometimes seconds of booting. After that it was fine for a while, now it's started back up in a much worse way. And since they've started I've had the PC go into Geek Squad for repair and they reinstalled Windows 7 and ran whatever analyses they do for other reasons. I've actually had problems with random signal losses for at least a year now, but it's never actually prevented me from doing anything. I've been using my monitor to play PS3 these past few weeks and the same thing has never happened, so I don't think it's the monitor. If the same thing happens when running on the integrated card in safe mode, I'm disinclined to believe it's a GPU problem. So if my computer runs fine and the monitor is just losing signal, I'm disinclined to believe it's a power supply problem. ![]() I tried checking for boot issues via the "Repair" option you get when you jab F8 (is that the same as opening BIOS)? Not fixed. I tried just running in safe mode and not fiddling with the drivers at all, still happened. I tried to run safe mode with networking and uninstall/reinstall the drivers through that, same problem after a few minutes. I have done a system restore to the last point available (which was about a week ago, before a Windows update) just in case the driver started installing but didn't do it properly. In fact, thinking about it now, it seems likely that it isn't. The weird thing about the NVIDIA driver update thing is that, while I have had issues with the monitor losing signal during driver install before, if I recall correctly the driver wasn't even installing, it was just downloading, so there's a chance it's nothing to do with that at all. If I can get to the desktop before it conks out and then press the power button after the monitor dies I can hear it go through the shut down process as normal. The PC stays on and I am certain that Windows is still running. ![]() It won't come back until I restart, and sometimes it doesn't come on at all after restarting until I've unplugged the system for a few minutes beforehand. What happens is the monitor just flat out loses signal from the PC after what started out as ten ish minutes after boot up, but now it occurs pretty much instantly or within seconds. I've had very similar issues before but this time it seems difficult to work around due to the nature of the issue. I can't say for sure what caused it but I believe it first happened when I tried to update my NVIDIA drivers through GeForce Experience (a process I've had terrible experiences with before) after not booting my PC for a while. So I've recently begun having this issue.
