TL;DR Display driver constantly crashes and recovers once every boot up session. Changed the monitor. Problem still occurs. Changed the gpu. Problem still occurs. The display driver is up to date. Do I need to change the motherboard?
I've been updating my old build to a new build part by part. It's based on just not having a lot of time at the moment. I upgraded from two old Acer G235HAbd 23'' monitors, a solid 1080p screen each, to the Acer Predator x34. The Predator is a 34" curved monitor, 21:9 aspect ratio, and 3440x1440 resolution.
My old 970 gtx gpu was doing fine with the Predator but I knew it couldn't handle the monitor if I tried recent games on high specs. The problem begins with this setup. Over time the display driver would crash and recover once per session regardless of what the computer was used for. Artifacts then showed up on the screen. The predator monitor finally wouldn't show anything, "no signal", and so I switched to my old Acer monitor. Using one old Acer monitor the display driver would still crash and recover once per session.
I then bought the new 1080 ti. Great card. Unfortunately, the display driver still crashes and quickly recovers using either monitor. One time the display driver crashed and recovered three times in a row.
What is the solution? The problem shows up using both kinds of monitors and both kinds of gpu's. My motherboard and cpu are old hardware. Is this caused by my motherboard?
My computer specs are below.
Cooler - Noctua DH14
CPU - Intel i7 950
GPU - Nvidia 1080 ti
MOBO - Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
Monitor - Acer Predator x34
PSU - 750W, Corsair TX Series
RAM - 12GB
SSD - Samsung 950 1TB (x2)
