So I just bought the GTX 980ti SC and it appears to work fine until I play games.
I have been thinking that it could be the power supply going bad or what not, the reason for that is because of the symptoms I'm seeing.
1. Computer screen goes black with no signal message after like 30 seconds
2. I can hear a buzzling sounds, almost electrical through my headphones, it goes on and off but it is mostly on when playing, and it only can be heard when starting to play a game.
3. It is stock, I actually underclocked it at one point and put the power target to 90% but it could still hear the sound.
4. The most important one I think: There have been times when my additional drives HDDs disconnect and re-connect, but only happens when I'm playing games. Makes me wonder that if it is because I'm losing power slowly until the GPU gives up.
5. The GPU temperature does not pass the 79 F, stays around 60-70 usually.
My Build:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 TI SC
CPU: AMD FX 8370
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97
PSU: Kentek KTPU-750w
Not really sure if I should replace it with a 1000w PSU just for kicks. I have gone through forums pointing out the NVIDIA GeForce drivers which I used an old one and disabled/enabled the V-sync to on & power management to maximum performance (this crashed the GPU almost immediately); it seems to last more when set to optimal power however in game.
