Hi guys i have a conundrum,

I have had my system for just over a year and a half for the first 9 or so months I had no dedicated gpu and I still had this problem.
My system>
i5-25k
msi branded 660ti
msi z68a-gd80
8gb corsair vengance
8gb corsair dominator(yeah itll be downclocked)
coursair enthusiast TX V2 CMPSU-850TXV2UK 850W
windows 7

so ill just be pootling along playing my game and then randomly my screen with loose signal for maybe 1 or 2 seconds then come back on, its really freaky, my sound doesn't distort at all ie i can continue to panic at people on mumble, and it isn't caused by me knocking something(i have wobbled evverything) and i have tried a different hdmi cable along with the dvi port on my gfx card.

At the moment i think it may be related to my psu somehow (currently after unhibernating my powerphase indicator lights are flickering normally are steady)

I can try to stress test my gpu to show up any errors but any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

MrG.

yep you are totally right, yeah i thaught about that especially since when my moniter came back on all of the setting had reset to default, HOWEVER i just this week baught a new moniter(higher spec so this wouldnt happen) and i still get the issue (which ill admit made me quite depressed when it started happeneing again )

im not sure i think it may happen less(probably confusing the matter) but its still happening willy nilly.
