Graphics card issues.

[Emjay86]

Hey guys,

I recently bought a GALAX GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infinity Black Edition" 4096MB GDDR5 (about a month ago) and other than the driver problems everyone else has been having its been ok.

However I was just playing a game of Company of Heroes 2 when all of a sudden the screen went black, then displayed the 'no signal' message thingy on the monitor. My Logitech LCD was also frozen but the last reading was that the card was on 53 degrees celcius, I cant tell as to when that froze but I would guess its the same time as the screen went black.

Any idea what this might be?

I put it under graphics card as I assumed it was a card issue. Sorry if its not!

Im using a OCZ 1250W ZX series PSU and im running the latest Nvidia drivers as updated via Nvidia experience.

I have to be honest but since upgrading from 2 580's to a 970 ive had no end of problems. I went from a machine that was working perfectly fine to one thats buggy as hell with all manner of issues in games. If my 2 580's werent on a waterblock I would have put it back in by now.

The software has just been outright appauling from what I can see. Hardware seems pretty decent which is a shame.

Hopefully it will be resolved soon. Kinda irritating 'upgrading' a machine to only end up taking steps back.

Result of contacting OC Support was to sent the card back and they sent me a replacement. That arrived this morning and all is working again fine. They said on the phone to try the latest drivers (which we had) and after that they just said that they would replace it.

Fingers crossed it goes well for you!

If it happens again to mine I will be doing the same.
