I have the following spec pc:

980X cpu
Asus RE3 black edition
GTX580 EVGA *** Hydro copper 2
6Gb of RAM Corsair GT
Tagan Piperock 1100W PSU
HP LP2475W 24" screen
Vertex 2e
ICY dock with 2 x 750 GB samsung drives

I currently run the whole set up with water cooling and all temps are low at both load and idle.
I am having a problem where the screen on my monitor blacks out for 1 sec and then comes straight back but it can do this 2-3 times consecutively with maybe 2-5 minutes between doing it again. I run the resolution at 1920x1200 60Hz and it does it constantly how ever if i drop the resolution during gaming or desktop use/browsing (it happens in both) the blanking out goes away. I have a spare motherboard and GFX card of the same type and it happens on both.
Can anyone help? or start me off with some more fault finding and i will respond back?
I have tried stock processor speeds as i have a 4.2 overclock but it still happens.

thanks to any who reply

All I can suggest at the moment is to download GPU-Z and post back some information from your GFX when idle and under load.

You can download it from TechPowerUp
 
Card is completely untouched and i have an identical card which does the same

i have connected 2 new cables for the power (modular PSU) and get the same problem

i fitted a different screen but it has a native resolution of 1000 something by 800 something and the problem did not occur

i have no problems at 1680 x 1050 and as soon as i change to 1920 x 1200 it starts again
 
I'm afraid I don't know too much about watercooling, but are all the memory chips and voltage regulators sufficiently cooled by the block?
 
it is a full cover block and i am just a befuddled as you guys

Could it be a dodgy inverter or something going on the monitor

help! :P
