Hey there, I have a bit of a problem.:(
After while (usually around 5 to 10 minutes) of playing the game lags and then the screen goes black. Sound continues but a monitor is telling me no signal. So I always have to restart it.
If I am not wrong it only happens when games are on fullscreen, but I am not sure about this one, maybe I haven't played in windowed mode for long enough.

edit: I have the 980ti, 850 EVGA psu, i7 6700k and 16 gigs of ram if this helps

It's been working all fine till like 3 days. The GPU has been already broken once, but it's been replaced by completely new one.

edit2: I just ran furmark (windowed) and everything seemed fine so I closed it and right after I closed it the display went black again (it was around 80c on gpu, seems bit high to me)
gonna continue tommorow, will keep this updated

SO ive had about the same issue but only with The Division were either i put the game in Full Screen and when its trying to move it to full screen the screen goes dark and only sound plays but i cant see a thing. I have to close out the game and sometimes i even have to restart the PC. SO i just play it on Full Screen Windowed mode...another work around i found was to not have another window open when i went Full Screen. Also do you see anything about Video Driver has stopped working but recovered message?

Okay, I tried about everything and the solution was to get 365.10 driver, the newer ones cause black screen and no signal restart for me.
Since then it seems okay!
