3rd Display going dark (Displayport)

Post by Tim Larson »

Everything works for a while and then the display attached to the displayport goes out. If I remove the DVI connector from the rear of the monitor and plug back in, the monitor comes back up.

Any ideas?

Great airflow in the box and my main processor never gets close to getting hot, but could the card be getting too hot?

Thanks for your ideas.

Really doubt it is the card, open up CCC and check what the temps are... as long as they are not beating 100 you should be fine (obviously 90 better) while running Furmark

In the past, I've had good luck just using CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the Task Manager. Then just Cancel and the screen gets reset. Try it and see if that works for you.
