Hello. I've been experiencing an annoying problem and I'd like to see if anyone here can help me get it solved.
The scene usually plays out like this:
I'm playing a game like NBA 2K17 or Overwatch. At seemingly random times during gaming, the game will freeze and both of my monitors disconnect from my computer. (I could be on my fifth consecutive round of Overwatch or my twenty-fifth, It could occur after one game of NBA 2K17 or in the rosters menu after a few games. Sometimes it never happens at all and it tricks me into thinking the problem went away) The sound still plays perfectly fine through my speakers/headphones. The on-screen prompts from the monitors appear with the usual "no input detected" message. After maybe 2 seconds, they both turn right back on like normal but the game crashes.
Eventually, I came across a few more weird attributes of this problem. Firstly, I was playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (for ol' time sake) when the issue happens here. The "weird" part was that the game didn't crash whatsoever. My monitors came right back on and the game was as functional as it had been before. Secondly, I noticed that the issue with the monitors is a common issue with overclocking a GPU. I actually tried an underclock to see if that was an issue at all. The issue still persisted. I ran at stock everything for a bit. The issue still persisted.
Any advice or questions about this issue would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to get this solved asap so I can play my games without a fear of losing save progress or gaining penalties from the game thinking me leaving is intentional. Specs below. Thanks!
SPECS:
Intel i7 4790K
Corsair H100i
Asus Maximus VII HERO
Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR3 1600
Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD
WD Blue 1 TB
WD Blue 2 TB
Asus Strix GTX 970
Corsair CXM 750W
Windows 10 Home
2 Asus VG248QE (24" 144hz 1080p) Monitors (Running off DisplayPort and Dual-Link DVI)
SOLUTIONS I HAVE TRIED THAT HAVE NOT WORKED:
Updating NVidia Drivers
Switching cables for monitors
Confirming my card isn't currently overclocked
Underclocking the card
Fullscreen instead of Windowed Borderless mode
Vsync On
Switching PCI-E slots
Immense amounts of praying to the PC gods
