I have a very peculiar bug. I've had it since I got this GPU, but never bothered to return it, thinking something else could be at fault (and due to the lack of a spare, two weeks without a computer was not appealing to me).
So I'm playing a game, or editing images on Photoshop or even browsing Windows Explorer, then suddenly the screen goes black. Two seconds later, it comes back on. A little pop-up in the top left corner telling me the details of the input lets me know that the output to the screen actually stopped, momentarily. No progress is lost on the computer, it doesn't turn off, it doesn't stop what it was previously doing, the GPU just stopped doing what it was doing. Sometimes, the output will stop again immediately after it began.
I just want to know how to stop this, it is still in warranty so I can RMA, but I'd prefer a DIY job so that I save money on the delivery back to the company, and so that I don't have two weeks without a functioning computer.
Specs etc:
AMD FX-8320 (not OCed) (Did have a Phenom II X4 B50, but the problem still occured)
Crucial 8GB Ballistix Sport 1333Mhz
Zotac GTX 650Ti 1GB
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3
Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB HDD
G7 Power Extreme 880W (19A at +12V)
And a Samsung 24" television. Input through HDMI.
When I contacted Zotac, they said that the PSU must give out at least 20A at +12V. Surely this is utter bull, because I know someone with a 680 that doesn't even demand that much.
