NEW RIG ISSUE - MAJOR OR NOT?

NEW RIG ISSUE - MAJOR OR NOT? [SOLVED]

so I got my titan bayonet today and I set it up, started using it and not so long after turning it on, mayby 10/15 mins the screen lost signal , I tried mashing various keys to see if a signal would come back to the screen but nothing happened. at first I though nothing of it and used reset to start over. then it happened again while I was starting to play iracing, going around the track then lost signal again, but I could still hear my car on the track, reset again. decided to play DayZ SA and shortly after spawning in, signal cut off again and my gpu fan went on full speed, only this time I couldn't use reset so I pressed it again then mayby 10 seconds later it reset twice.

anyone know what this could be?

[SOLUTION] dvi-d cable worked perfectly, ran valley benchmark on high/no AA/windowed , stayed on for 20 mins then I turned it off due to temps of 70c and rising. mayby water cooling is in order to keep that down lol

Have you checked the temps while running the games?

im not sure how I do that

Try installing speedfan;

(Click the "SpeedFan 4.50 link in the block of text)

Then run it and see what kind of temperatures you get while gaming

Or an alternative program which lots of people like is HWMonitor

I think it is something to do with temps , I downloaded speccy, loaded dayz , ran around a little and heard my gpu fan go faster. went to desktop and I saw the temp at 61c for a brief moment before signal was lost. before hand the cpu and gpu temps where 30-35c idle, cpu hardly changed after running the game.

Certainly sounds hardware related, tried to contact support directly?

not yet but, power of suggestion makes that the next thing to do lol

60c is perfectly fine so temps isn't an issue. Probably a dodgy part. Contact support mate.

This might sound very obvious but reconnect the monitor and GPU ends of the cable and power, might be as simple as a loose DVI or power connection, also reseat it in the PCI slot, loose in PCI slot can cause problems... or it could be your PSU... Or if not that it is probably something wrong with the GPU then.

this actually worked to an extent, after doing it I ran valley benchmark and it stayed on for about 5-10 minutes then my screen lost signal. buying a new dvi-d cable for my monitor then going to see if that works.

Rule out the connections / properly in PCI slot, then I am not sure how you can rule out the PSU except trying a different PSU, what PSU do you have? Could be that because that graphics card is about as much TDP as you can get. If Its doing it on desktop and not only during heavy loads then prob not the PSU.
