Im currently running dual displays, one DVI-D and DP.
I login to my pc, then after about 5 mins both displays lose signal. The pc is still running, and nothing sounds out of the ordinary. Gpu fans spin normally.

Ive done almost everything to try to resolve this issue from uninstalling drivers, using only one display (via dvi-d), reseating the gpu, unplugging and plugging back in, checking connections. My pc specs are:

Mobo:Asus 370 F-Gaming
Cpu: i7 8700k
Ram:Corsair 16gb 3466(o.c.)
Gpu: Gigabyte 980ti G1 Gaming
Psu:Corsair HX750i

I did notice after doing a bit of reasearch that my psu could also be a problem. So i went into my BIOS and saw that my 12v rail was only outputting 10.7v (Also checked on hwmonitor which showed the same thing)

So now im wondering, what could be the issue, and if there is more than one problem at hand. Im planning on going to the store to buy a new psu and see if that resolves one issue, and ive already sent in an RMA ticket for my gpu.

So i went to Frys and bought a PSU, which was the problem. Didnt know psu had effects like that for the gpu. I checked hwmonitor on my new psu and it read 12v, as opposed to my old one which read at 10.8
