Hey everyone, Thanks for your help and time in advance. I've been experiencing some "crashes" in certain games. This crashes looks weird though, both displays I use show nothing but the classic "no signal" popup, like if the PC would be off, but it still running. Sometimes I hear the sound of the videogame also. I push the reset button but system doesn't initiate or maybe it does, but the screens are still black. If I press the power button and turn the PC off and on again, it works like a charm. Weirdest thing is that only happens with certain games. I experienced this only with The Forest and Heroes & Generals. Both are not hardware demanding so.. If I recall correctly, I also experienced this once playing GTA V while using the "automatic CPU OC", was running 4GHz I think, so I disabled everything till that. I played lots of games in this rig, even worst games than those: Skyrim, Metro saga, Star Citizen, The Witcher 3, GTA V, ARK, COD Advanced Warfare, Ryse Son of Rome, etc.. This crash appears after playing a bit, not immediately. In "Heroes & Generals", after it happened once, I couldn't open the game again, don't know why. - Anyway, thanks for everything!
If Heroes and Generals opens after a reboot. We are in the same boat friend. For me, I suspect it's my GPU OC.
It doesn't open at all, I can't remember the error log and I already uninstalled the game. I'm not OC my GPUs dho. Can it be my PSU?
Your PSU is perfect. You have SLi'd, but you get chances of limited Overclocking. I have that problem, the only difference is that if I reboot after the crash, the game runs great. Does it happen in all games?
Nope, just the ones I mentioned. I played GTA V for hours, nothing happened. I can run The Forest without any trouble, but it crash again after around 25-40 mins.
Well, if you encounter something like this - 1. Screen freezes for a sec. 2. Then goes black. 3. You see your desktop and your apps are closed. Then, it's a NVIDIA driver bug. NVIDIA has been trying to fix it since weeks, but it ended up fixing the Mobile GPU overclocking limit. I suspected my OC, and downclocked, but I still got crashes. I surfed through the web only to find out that NVIDIA's creating more problems than fixing it.
Sadly no, but I tried the new NVIDIA driver (I didn't install it yet). 1. Screen goes black, no signal in both displays. 2. I can hear the sound of the app running. 3. I have to turn off and turn on (not reset).
Might wanna consider a pro? That's a rare crash, I got it a few, only a few times, must be like 2-3 times. Might be the drivers, try to go anything before 352.86.
