HI. I've been having this issue lately and I can't seem to find a fix for it anywhere.

Lately my displays shut off at random times (all 3 of them, connected at different ports), sound is still running and I can still talk to my friends on things like Skype (at least for a little while), and the only thing that fixes it is a restart.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers, and I can't check if it's my GPU because I don't have a spare or an onboard one. This is causing me a lot of issues as often I work on something (e.g lightroom) and my displays shut off with the "no signal detected" error message until I restart, causing me to lose progress on my work.

Specs -
i7 4930K
16GB of RAM underclocked to 1333MHz
GTX 980 Ti
MSI Big Bang 2 Motherboard

Thanks for the help.

After some time testing, with a digital PSU tester and a temporary GPU that doesn't require power inputs, both seem to be fine, issue still happens.
PSU had its voltage accurate to the .1 voltage, GPU has been replaced twice. Only thing left is the motherboard, and I don't have a way to test that as they don't really sell X79 motherboards in my country anymore.

Is there anything in the event viewer? My next guesses would be a bad windows install, bad ram, or hdd. Try installing windows somewhere else and use that temp to see if the problem continues. Run memtest to test your ram. Use a SMART table reader to check your hdd and see if there are errors there.
