Display screen shuts down unexpectedly
Display screen shuts down unexpectedly
Hello, my graphics card occasionally shuts down unexpectedly—sometimes right after turning on the PC and logging in, other times after launching Windows or during gaming sessions lasting 3 to 6 hours. The issue is hard to pinpoint because it doesn’t happen consistently. When it does turn off, all screens go dark and the system crashes or displays a blue screen about a minute later. I’ve focused on the graphics card and tried everything: reinstalled drivers, updated Windows, changed monitors, cables, PCIe slots, even used another computer. Since it’s not happening under stress or high temperatures, I’ve done all possible checks. Please let me know if my explanation is unclear; my English isn’t perfect. My PC specs are: CPU Intel Core i7-10700K, 8x 3.80 GHz, 16MB L3 cache; mainboard MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus with Intel Z490 graphics; RAM 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000; SSD 2x 16GB; HDD 1TB; power supply 750W; GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB. I’m a little over three years old and hope the GPU is still functioning properly.
Does it function backward? For example, switching to another graphics card on your PC works? That suggests the card itself may be faulty, unless the display output is the problem (HDMI or DP issues?). Does this occur "after" gaming, such as when you exit the game? In that case, you might need to reset the clocks and the fan, as the card could struggle switching between idle and 3D modes.
Hello, I just tested various graphics cards on my PC and everything seems fine. I also checked different cables and connections, and there were no problems either. The issue appears to happen unexpectedly, even during normal activities like browsing or watching YouTube.
