I brought a 480 a few months ago and i keep having an intermittent problem when playing games with the screen going black and after a few seconds and the picture comes back again. This keeps repeating with gaps between the screen going blank getting shorter and shorter. If i reboot the problem goes a way. I've removed and reinstalled all the drivers a few times but no joy. Any suggestion what causing it or what i can do to stop it.

Are you overclocking the card? Running higher voltages? Tried a different cable?
I get that on my 390's when I overclock them aggressively, I have to undervolt my cards to stop it happening. I was pulling my hair out for ages trying to figure out what was causing it, bought loads of different cables, tried different monitors etc, even got a replacement pump from overclockers which improved the issue massively, in the end just turns out I can't overclock them as high as I want.
You could try undervolting the card or dropping your clocks a little and see if the issue disappears.

There's many things which could cause this. With it being the RX480, I'm gonna guess it needs undervolting.
Is it a favtory overclocked model by any chance?
Some manufacturers sell these cards pre-overclocked, with no checks on stability.
Try undervolting , only thing is there is no definitive means of knowing . you'll judt gave to keepa using it, without knowing whether it us solved or not.
How frequent or any games which definitely triggered it so you know it would re-occure?

I have a friend having the same issue, running at stock he gets black screen issues. A quick google and a lot of people have this but no suggestion of a solution...
