I have had this build for a little over a month and I am not sure what is causing this issue still. Randomly after a period of time anywhere from 20 minutes to 9 hours the computer either freezes or the display powers off and I can't get any response from it however it is still running, fans are still spinning and everything is receiving power. The reason I think it is the graphics card is because sometimes The display flickers off and then back on and it says Driver has failed but recovered leading me to believe that when it fails to recover it just goes black

I have taken the computer apart and dusted everything I tried swapping the the slot the card is in on my motherboard. I tried changing the GPU Clock offset to -105 and I have updated to the latest Nvidia beta drivers. nothing seems to change the fact that it will randomly occur. I have taken the computer to two different locations to have the hardware tested and both times I was told that the hardware is in fact fine so it confuses me as to what could actually be the problem.

My set-up is
Gigabyte Geforce GTX 770 OC
Intel i5 4670k
Gigabyte z87x-UD3H
Samsung 840 EVO SSD
(2 x 4GB) Corsair VengeanceLP
Corsair Carbide 200R
Corsair CX750
Windows 8.1

Any help to try and resolve this problem would be appreciated and if you need anymore information I will provide it

Smorizio: I will try that shortly then

woltej1: I am generally just browsing the internet watching Twitch or Youtube when it happens. A few times it has happened right as I started windows. It has also happened while I have been playing games.

woltej1: I have tried a clean of the drivers I'll wait and see if this fixes anything. I am not sure where to find older drivers to install or which one would be the best.

Smorizio: I am not sure what to be looking for here but this is a capture of the screen https://www.dropbox.com/s/zq8zdsgxzae5dia/Voltage.png

Update: Reinstalling the drivers fresh did not solve the problem. Computer still lost display while running

Smorizio: The results of the stress test were the 12v line kept at a solid 12.168 the entire time I was doing the stress test. The first half hour was with the GPU off and the computer went fine nothing spiked abnormally and everything seemed to work fine. After a half hour I ticked the Stress GPU box and it started testing that. During this time it hasn't crashed yet but it does stutter every so often if I am moving the mouse to trying to do anything however I assume this is normal for this and the display timer on the Stability test keeps jumping to catch up with how much time has passed. Temperature for the card is at 71c and the voltage has stayed at 0.887v the entire time. I ran this for half an hour as well so overall the machine was stressed for one hour. There was no reboot during this entire process however I did crash windows taskbar/explorer so I had to restart to get that back.

As an update The computer has been running all day and been in general use for the most part there were 3 freezes during this entire period before the stress test started and during each freeze the Computer locked up completely however the display was still showing whatever was at the time when it stopped. There was no response from Keyboard or mouse and the computer lights were all still on and fans were still spinning. So I had to do a hard shut down each time but when booted back up the computer would run for more than one hour each time without any problems.

After the third shut down windows went into a update/restart loop however that was resolved with another hard reset which was before I began testing the computer. I am not sure what caused that but It seems to be fine for now.

The frequency at which the system freezes has gone up today normally it only does it once every 2 - 3 hours but earlier today they happen back to back 5 - 6 times in a 1 - 2 hour period. Nothing special has been done. I checked to make sure all the drivers that my motherboard could need were installed to see if that was the issue but that did not change anything.

Freezes are still showing display when they happen, waiting one of them out resulted in a dcp_watchdog_violation but that happened on the last freeze and I am not sure why that happened it hasn't seemed to happen outside of that one time. There was also one flicker in the screen. not sure if this indicates anything but I believe that this was just a minor driver error as well as at the end of the night there was a single display shut down as was originally stated.
