Screen going blank, little white - black/square dots..
Hello All,
Recently I built a new PC Show Us Your Rig [6]
I am having a display issue with it. The graphics card is an R7 260X 2GB overclocked edition from Saphire.
Now these issues don't happen regularly but it is worrying so I'd rather deal with it sooner than later :)
Sometimes in game (like Arma 3 ) and I occasionally see it on desktop. parts of my monitor only a small area usually top right I can see image being distorted it is usually white/black squares last around 10 seconds or so. I have two monitors and it happens to both monitors so I'd rule out a monitor problem.
Now today I was watching Top Gear on BBC Iplayer towards the end of the show my screen just went blank (black) I could only hear sound for around 10-20 seconds and then that went of to.. I'd had to force shutdown. This also happened to me the other day when I was changing HDMI cable (I have two monitors, and sometimes I switch to TV HDMI)
Here are the idle temps for the hardware (according to CPUID)
Graphics Card = 36c (96F)
CPU = 30c (82F)
Mainboard 111C (231F)
in game GC is around (50/60c) have not seen it get higher than this
CPU can get upto 40c
I have a 650w Corsair PSU unit. Also I have 3 case fans, two front, one top, so enough cooling.
Anyone know the likely cause? (I am guessing it's GC)
PS: All drivers are up to date and room temperature can be quite high 20c (I always have heater on)
