I'm not very familiar with computers, but I have a machine built by xidax. Here are the details: I've been having problems closing games or minimizing them, and sometimes while they're running. My screen turns grey, then black, and back to grey. I see an error saying the monitor lost connection. I used DDU to clean and reinstall my drivers, but that didn't solve the problem. After installing MSI Afterburner, I noticed one of my GeForce 1080 Ti cards was running at 99% while the other was only 1-2%. I turned off SLI and ran just the one at 2%, which went to full speed. It seems the card itself is working fine.

Here are the specifications:
MSI Z270 XPOWER TITANIUM -
Processor: Intel® Quad Core™ i7-7700K Processor Overclocked - Quad Core w/Hyper Threading 4.4GHz-4.7GHz Turbo
Memory: Xidax Extreme DDR4 2666MHz Memory - 16GB -
Power Supply: Corsair RM1000X
Graphics Card: x2 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti GPU W/HBB Bridge -
GPU OC: Overclocked Graphics Card - 2 Cards - You can get an extra 10-20% performance. Skilled Xidax technicians will boost your card to its best settings.
Sound Cards: Creative Sound Blaster Z 5.1 Channels 24-bit PCI Express Sound Card -
Hard Drive/SSD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB - 7200RPM 3.5" HDD - SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
Second HDD: Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD - 550MB/s Read, 520MB/s Write

Any feedback would be appreciated. Destiny 2 won't run for more than a few minutes without going grey.

Under 3D global settings, select 'Single display performance mode' in 'Multi-display/Mixed-GPU acceleration'. Also, ensure you pick 'Prefer maximum performance' in 'Power Management Mode.'

It seems the firm that increased the GPU speeds went too far. You might want to reduce the overclock or adjust the fan settings to improve cooling. They’re likely overheating.

I’ll try it out—thanks for your prompt reply!

It seems the company that enhanced the GPUs might have gone too far. Either reduce the overclock or adjust the fan settings to improve cooling. They’re likely overheating. I increased my fan speed and it resolved the grey screen problem. The GPU bottleneck issue persists—any advice?
