I've been facing a no signal issue with my PC.
This has been detailed several hundreds of times on the forums but I will describe it once again.
- Playing a game
- Connect to a server or start playing the campaign/multiplayer etc.
- Basically you're doing the graphical intensive things
- Monitor goes fully black, displays a "no signal" in the middle
- Windows audio works for a few seconds and keyboard is functional so I can use programs like Discord for a bit.
- However, the game's audio doesn't work
- PC isn't functional until I reboot my system
- Reboot and you'll get lucky then it starts working normally and I can game
- Rinse and repeat
The graphics card I'm dealing with is a XFX Radeon HD 7770 1GB GDDR5 and my processor is an AMD A10-5800K with 8GB of DDR3 1600 MHz RAM. Everything is powered by an EVGA 500W 80+ Certified PSU.
I highly doubt my motherboard and power supply are causing anything, same thing with my RAM.
Are these symptoms the result of a defective graphics card? Is the 1GB VRAM an actual problem?
The game that this happens frequently on is CS:GO. It will happen every day causing me to reboot. I have lowered my settings and brought the resolution down to 1024x768 and it still isn't avoidable. I tried doing a long play session of Tomb Raider and I was able to play for like an hour or so until it gave in as well. I have also tried GTA 5 but it hasn't given in like CS:GO has which is under 2 minutes in a multiplayer setting like competitive match making.
My temperatures are as following according to MSI Afterburner:
GPU - Idling at 40-47C and maxing at 60C.
CPU - Idling at 20-30C and maxing at around 55-60C.
Right now I'm looking to get a GTX 1050 Ti to fix my problems and then later on upgrading my CPU to a Ryzen 3 1200 if the graphics card does solve the problem.
