Hello,
So I recently just built a new rig and installed Windows 7 on it. Everything appeared to be working fine for about 3 days, when I awoke this morning I found my monitor was blank. I restarted the computer and got to the windows log in screen where as soon as I logged in, the screen blanked out and I received "DVI No Signal". I immediately went into troubleshooting mode, first trying to use my mobo gpu with the DVI, and received similar results(it appears to be random, though, sometimes it will disconnect after the post screen, sometimes right as i log in, and sometimes after ive been logged in and using applications(browsing and such) for about 10 minutes). 10-15 minutes appears to be the longest time i've been able to be on before it suddenly disconnects.
I have tried 2 different monitors(BenQGW2450 and Asus VE248), all of the input combinations available(dvi/vga/hdmi) and all combinations of the 2 monitors and the onboard gpu and my dedicated gpu(GeForce gtx580). All combinations provide relatively similar results, albeit all random as mentioned in the above paragraph.
This leads me to believe that the issue either lies within the bios, or within the OS itself. As I was writing this post I attempted to leave the PC at the Windows log in screen to see if it would sit idle there, and within about 10 minutes it was randomly disconnected again. I have made NO changes to the BIOS or any changes to display settings within Windows since it was installed, and have the newest drivers from nvidia for my GTX 580.
SPECS:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64b SP1
Gigabyte z97x Gaming 7
Intel I7-4790k
GeForce GTX 580
Samsung EVO 850
XFX 750w PRO
Any Ideas gents? Thanks!
UPDATE: So, after spending a couple of hours cleaning out drivers and reinstalling older ones(I've read countless threads about issues with the 358.xxx GeForce drivers) and running a memtest to check RAM, I finally decided to check my PSU in speccy, and lo and behold this is what I see http://imgur.com/aM4GSY3. It appears my PSU is done for. This was the same PSU from my old rig(an XFX 750w PRO, nothing special, not the gold or platinum edition or anything), which was about 6 years old at this point. Additionally, I did add a noctua nh-d14 and I think it just cant handle it all any more. It's pretty safe to say that because the rails in just about every voltage are way too low, that I just need to replace it? I don't think there is any way to recover it at this point, but I could be wrong. Any suggestions?
