Well my seahawk ek 2080ti has been solid as a rock sits around 1980mhz all fine two full days of playing shadows of the TombRaider i received a few dxgi errors when running dx12 but do believe it was a driver issue because other people with all sorts of cards had recieved it.

Then played some BF V all fine. Then i goto to overscan thinking i wonder if i can overclock it get a bit of performance, don't change the power target and let it run. it crashes black screens I leave it for 4 minutes still black screen turn off the PC, turn it back on windows logon all seems fine, but no second monitor all black. Restart still same install GFX driver again then black screen again. Restart no second monitor still think Ill change the cables round, mess that up think its broken (one cable wasn't plugged in) sort that out all working fine run 4 games all working fine brief test....

What would you do ?

I have had some issues with GFX cards before with the same PSU i am using now 1200w superflower gold.
 
Think I will reinstall windows to make sure everything is super clean and see what happens. The only reason I mentioned the PSU is because of the random things that happened on my last build near the end.

The black screens seem to be driver issues, so you will probably be ok. The windows reinstall will probably sort everything out.

If you have trouble booting the computer or you get artifacts while playing games especially the space invaders, then you should start worrying.
 
After rebuild seems to be working fine. Tried overscan again but it black screened when it got to 1680mhz which is strange as it boosts out of box at 1980. Powered off and on again all working fine. Why is overscan crashing at such low mhz is my worry now :/
