White blank screen

[ShivP]

Hi,

I've had a blank white screen with my GTX 760 twice now, the first time was a few weeks ago when I updated the drivers, and the second was just now after logging in. It turns both monitors fully white and I can't do anything about it. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Thanks

Check connections and try booting in safe mode see if it happens there as that is with
basic drivers.

Have you overclocked it at all?

 

[ShivP]

No overclocks, though it is a factory overclocked GFX card. It happened again just now, but the main screen went grey. Force restarted and same happened again, but left it for a few minutes and it went back to normal. Could use it just fine. Anything to worry about?

cold boot issue maybe? running latest bios or try beta bios

 

[ShivP]

Will update the BIOS, let you know how it goes

 

[thel33ter]

Maybe try clean installing the drivers, and make sure Everything's plugged in nicely.

Just happened again today

Aaand again just now after changing users, after a fairly lengthy bf4 session, apart from the main screen went brown this time.

Have you tried another VGA/HDMI adaptor? It could even be your monitor, is your keyboard responsive when the crash happens? (Turn numlock on/off)?

It's two monitors that both do the same thing though - my keyboard doesn't have lights on it D: Only appears on screen to be able to see if numlock/Caps etc is on or off.

First and foremost we need to know if your system is actually crashing during the white screen, that is why I asked about nmumlock.

Yeah, I'll try and find out. However, the third/fourth time it happened I left it for about 10 minutes, and it went back to normal. Was just on Windows desktop like nothing had happened.

Check the fans on the card are running, also which PSU are you using ? does it provide enough power to the card ?, but with it coming back on, it could also be a driver crashing, ive had the same thing when using ATI beta drivers and they crash, the screen goes blank for a little while and then comes back on, says something like windows recovered from a .............. whatever, in a bubble in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Using a 600W Corsair CX600M, should be enough power as when gaming it works fine, rarely any stutters etc. Didn't notice anything like that
