Good day everyone, I am Jann and i have currently opened a small esports gaming cafe here in my country. I have 20 pcs and 1 server that is set up as a diskless setup.

Specs:
GTX 1050ti
g4560
8GB ram
500 watts PSU

Server:
i3 8100
32gb DDR4 3200mhz ram
700 watts PSU gold rated
1tb WD black HDD
240gb SSD
2x 120gb SSD

Issue: 4 of the PCs out of the 20 pcs are having a problem displaying when gaming. Everytime these 4 pcs game ( PUBG, Dota 2, etc. ) the screen suddenly turns black for a second then comes back again then turns black again for a second then is fine again for another 10 seconds then turns black again.

What i have done: I tried stressing the gpu and cpu with unigine gpu benchmark at max settings *( GPU test) and aida64 (CPU test) and none of them have failed on me. Only when gaming. I have tried switching out the monitors, the psu, and the ram and still same issue.

Is this really a driver issue? If so, how do i solve it? I really need your help. Thanks in advance

 
Solution
Try switching a graphics card from a known working pc to one of the ones with the problem and see if the problem follows the graphics card or not.

For me it really looks like a Corrupted Driver install.
I would recommend to the the following.
1-Boot a Slave PC that works just fine while gaming
2-Boot a Slave PC that has the Issue while Gaming
3-Check the Drivers Number version on the Slave PC that works fine.
4-Erase all drivers on the pc that has the issues.
5-Restart that PC.
6-Download from the Support page of Nvidia the official drivers that matches the version of the Slave pc that works just fine.
7-Install and restart
8- Check what happends and if works just right Reance and Repeat from step 4 on all the slave pcs that has the issue :)

Cheers!

Actually we're just using 1 hdd and ssd for all PCs. It's what you do when you setup a diskless server
