Hi, need to check with all you experts here.
Yesterday i was playing games and suddenly there was a black screen with no signal shown on my monitor. The PC was still running with fans suddenly going at full speed.
Anyone knows what is the cause of this, and any fixes?

after restart then it is okay already. Just that during games it will suddenly show black screen and no signal on monitor. Once restart then it is okay.

Likely your GPU dying. Try use onboard GPU or swap to spare dedicated GPU. Monitor your GPU temp see if overheating during gaming.

The black screen of death is an issue that ppl believed to be caused by certain window update. Your graphic card or psu is fine. The cause of this is just unknown. There has been several post about this on Nvidia driver forum.

I myself encountered this black screen of death last time. Change gpu or motherboard also no use.

symptom: u play game or even surf net halfway suddenly your monitor just turn black like no signal from the graphic card. then you cannot do anything but just to restart your pc. it can occurred at random.

Tried these steps
1) took out my gpu and put in again, didnt work
2)uninstall and reinstalled driver, problem also reoccured

3)tried removing side panel and blew a fan at it,also didnt work
It occurs when i play games, but strangely, the error does not arise when i do benchmarking using unigine heaven ,valley and superposition. Not sure what is causing the error....

just send it for rma den, let the distro do the testing, if their side is fine, that means could be either power or mobo issues.

From my experience with Sapphire RMA, got receipt can liao.

But SG RMA stingy. If you bring graphics card only, they'll only pass you the graphic card from new box but keep the box and contents (maybe to resell the RMA card if its not complete failure)
