I brought a custom made computer from Cyberpower last June and everything have been running perfectly until couple days ago where screen would randomly going black. I think the video card is going bad and trying to find a replacement of the one I have right now. The video card I have right now is a EVGA Nvidia Superclock GeForce GTX 660 TI 2GB 16X PCI. The power supply is a XTREMEGEAR 800 WATT 80 PLUS. My question is what will be a good replacement video card that will not give me any conflict with the power supply I have at the moment. Also, is there any chance that it is the power supply that's giving me the problem?

Thanks,

i would first try to uninstall the AMD catalyst drivers for your card and re-install a fresh up to date copy that you will find on AMD website...before you think hardware failure you must check if it's not driver/software related, i would investigate on that...maybe you monitor is just turning to sleep or something ?

Since the card is still working i would highly doubt that it's an hardware failure, also no the PSU cant be the problem here...
 


How would AMD 's drivers help with an Nvidia card? :lol:

I have NVIDIA GeForce Experience installed on my PC which keeps my drivers updated ( at least I think they do). The screen will randomly go black without any warning, I am not sure if sleep setting will kick in while I am playing a game. Just seems weird. Thanks for the replies.

Yes nvidia experience is supposed to show you the latest driver, if you go into your windows device manager panel do you see anything that pops out of the ordinary? like a yellow ''!'' or something...
Also when the screen goes black does the monitor turn off or to sleep(yellow or orange light usualy) or is it still operating (green light usualy)

well then if you are sure the monitor is not going to sleep and you have no screen saver or anything and you have no conflict in your drivers or anything it may indeed after all be a graphics card problem...i would contact Cyberpower they should be able to do something for you about that issue...
