Reference 1080 Random Black Screen

[wuping]

Hey guys,

All 4 of my 4k monitors randomly loose signal and goes to black screen. I know the computer didn't crash because I can still hear the audio. At first I thought it was my overclock, so I removed it completely. After removing the overclock and rebooting after awhile I would still get the black screen. It doesn't seem to be link to playing a particular game because it happens when I'm watching Youtube videos as well. Next thing I checked was my GPU temps, and they were fine. Gaming at full load it didn't go above 40c (water cooled). I don't know what prompted me to do this but I touched my backplate when I got another black screen and the area where the VRM was is extremely hot. I touched the area where the core is located and it was warm, so I'm thinking the VRM is overheating. Thinking that maybe the water block isn't seated properly I reseated it and tried again with the same results. I reinstalled the air cooler, same results. I have the latest drives installed. Anyone else having this issue and what do you guys think?

I noticed the same issue but a complete shutdown of my computer then the computer would restart indicating overclocked failed even on default settings (No overclock). I also had updated to the latest rampage bios 3301 at the same time as updating my NVidia drivers big mistake. As it made it more difficult to narrow problem.

Windows event viewer was showing Critical error Kernel- power (The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.)

Was thinking my CPU was shot or my Power supply was faulty.

What I did to resolve the problem (been running for 5 hours playing games)

I suspect the last few NVidia drivers must have been causing the in the issue the last 2 drivers for sure; version 375.70 and 375.63.

Look forward to see your results, I'm starting to think it's a driver issue as well

My issue is now fixed figured out it was my GTX 690 failing. My parts came in and first replaced my video card with EVGA 1080 ti and all my crashing issues gone. So I don't need to replace power supply I ordered. Hope you resolve your issue.
