HELP REQUEST! - Monitors going black, no signal, no keyboard input, and only discord stays working

so it seems like it may have been cpu overheating causing the black screen issues, dialled back my OC and cpu max temps have dropped a tad and a crash is yet to happen. Still sorting out my poor GPU performance though. This seems pretty horrendous for a 2080ti

I would start with a sufficient air flow.
Following with dust cleaning.
Then remount cpu and gpu blocks with terminal paste.

ive got 2 360mm rads with 6 fans ( 3 intake, 3 exhaust) and I recently did try the paste just to see and it didnt do anything

CHecked yesterday for dust and it was remarkably clean.

looked at MSI afterburner today and not sure if its normal or not, but under load the card rarely ever goes over 700mv and struggles to reach even 1700 Mhz, even though the temps never really go above 50 degrees or so

By under load, what kind of load are we talking?

Curtis vincent · 25 Jul 2020 at 14:21

Games like destiny 2, modern warfare, total war, 3d mark etc

And 3d programs such as Maya, zbrush, and substance painter

well, spent hours on a live chat with Nvidia trying everything, and they are now confident its a GPU issue, and have asked me to try and get a return

UPDATE.

Spoke with Nvidia on live chat for hours, they said they were confident it was a GPU issue, not sure what the issue is exactly, but they said they were certain it could only be the GPU, so its on its way back to overclockers for RMA
