Hello,
My Sapphire 7950 is causing signal loss on my monitor. This only occurs during games and not on the desktop. I also have black bars around the borders of games. I have scaled my monitor correctly in Catalyst and I am running at stock settings and my GPU never goes above 60 degrees. The signal loss occurs in almost every game when I enter into actual gameplay. The games I have tried are Crysis 2, Sniper Elite V2 and Just Cause 2. I have the latest drivers and my GPU is seated properly and running off an 850w XFX power supply so that is not the issue.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
 
test it (gpu) in another build., if its fine test the gfx cable, monitor then the psu.
also make sure in the ccc panel under properties, (digital flat panel).
check enable gpu scaling put it on scale to full panel size then apply then uncheck enable gpu scaling.
this will cause your gpu to default to upscaling rather than centered or set to a specific aspect ratio. hopefully it will get rid of the borders.
