No salida de pantalla + Reinicio de GPU
No salida de pantalla + Reinicio de GPU
Occasionally my computer freezes, screen goes dark and the GPU shows flashing white, orange, then yellow. It runs but no display appears. I’m not sure if overheating is the cause since it happens even without heavy games. The hardware is nearly eight years old, so I considered a power supply issue but am still unsure. Operating system is Windows 10 64-bit, BIOS version 6203. CPU is Ryzen 7 1700X, RAM is G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB, GPU is Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080. Storage includes WD Blue SN570 1TB and WD Black 2TB. Case is Corsair Obsidian 750D with CPU cooler and case included for temperature reference.
The problem lies in its infrequency—perhaps only a few times a week. Could a quick stress test help? A short break might make a difference.
It seems odd to experiment with different slots and cables, and then wait. I’m not sure what’s causing this inconsistency. Stress testing might help, but I don’t understand why it occurs. If it continues, try replacing the GPU or PSU with another one you have.
You mean the visual effect of bright white and orange lights appearing on the display? Yes, that’s the screen lighting. The comment also suggests a GTX 1080 needs cleaning after four years of use.
The hot spot temperature is normal and stays below 90°C, so those readings make sense. The system seems to be performing well under current conditions. Regarding maintenance, I’d like to know when you last cleaned the computer with a vacuum, particularly around the power supply area. Using a shop vacuum with the hose facing the outlet should help remove dust effectively. For better airflow, try spinning the fans inside the case—use a chopstick or similar tool—and direct the nozzle toward the fan blades to clear any buildup. Be careful not to spin them before using the blower. When the computer freezes, make sure both the case and graphics card fans operate at full speed. Please specify which fans you mean.
Apologies for the delayed response. I purchased an electric air duster, thinking it would be more economical than using compressed air. It should arrive in a few days, and I’ll let you know if it works. Your support is appreciated so far. Also, I’m unsure whether the fans actually start since my display goes off and I can’t verify. I’ve checked both visually and by sound, but they don’t spin at all—definitely not functioning properly.
i have one of those.. it's nice but not as strong as compressed air really.. PSU's dies over time, and a small PSU will die faster if it's run closer to the limit than bigger ones. Blinking GPU LED's sounds like a power issue too. my two RTX 2080ti's do the same if i didn't plug it in properly. I would try a little stronger PSU..
