Currently running a GTX680 with two displays, a 27" 2560x1440 and a 24" 1920x1080, and it keeps crashing and knocking my 27" out to zero input. Anyone else had this at all?

I am running the same set up as you with the monitors and running a Titan but no issues for me. What happens when it crashes? does it BSOD? does it go blank for a few seconds and then pop back?
 
I get some sort of error, occasionally, but especially whilst playing BF3. The screen just goes black, I cancel the error message and then it's usually normal again.

It just happened again and now I can't get the 27's display to come back on.. It doesn't recognise an input. Just installed the previous driver and still having no luck.. :/

Any ideas?
 
Did you tick the clean install box under the Advanced installation option?

What does the error message say?
 
Did you tick the fresh install option under the custom installation?

I did. And I'm not sure, I can't get the screen to detect an input now. I'll replicate it if I can, but I need to make this work somehow first :/
 
Try swapping over the inputs for the screens on the card end, see if it then happens to your 24". Hit the print screen button as soon as it happens or as soon as you see the error message. You should then be able to paste it into Paint or Photoshop after you hit ok to get the screens picture back.

Just managed to get it back by installing 'GEFORCE 320.49 DRIVER', which is the 3rd oldest (non-beta). The 2nd oldest didn't give me my screen back either :/ I'll get the error next time it pops up and report back, thanks! Back to BF3 to see what happens!
 
It will probably be saying "The display driver has stopped responding" and this is generally a sign of a faulty card. Do a complete clean install of drivers, make sure you don't have a virus like that bitcoin virus and use Display driver uninstaller to clear all the old drivers out.

If you still have problems, then sure seems like the card is faulty.

I've got an RMA set up already, so can use it if necessary. Of course if it's something else, I'd prefer to hold on to it. That's very helpful though, thank you.

It could cost you if there is no fault found, so best to make sure before sending it off.

Just got a crash with the older driver. Blacked out for 10 seconds and then came back to this.

Yep, not a good sign.

Make sure your GPU is idle on desktop (run Afterburner or precisionX) - If all clear there, run DDU and clean out all the nVidia drivers and reinstall the latest - If still doing it, RMA :(

The card is a KFA2, does it matter that PrecisionX is EVGA? And I've run the DDU etc already, I'm now back to one screen :(
