Forum Systems : CyberPower [Solved] Problem with new computer plz help!!

Hello,
I recently had cyberpower pc build me a computer for the sol purpose of playing SWTOR.
Here's what I have

VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB 16X PCIe Video Card [+41] (EVGA Superclocked

So here's my problem and if anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it because my only other option looks like sending it back to Cyberpower. When I'm playing my game, my monitor randomly puts itself to sleep and I hear a load buzzing noise coming from my speakers. At that point my monitor won't display anything anymore and I'm forced to shut my computer down manually. It seems to happen more frequently now. I checked the temp to rule out overheating and that's about all I have ruled out. Also, my friend said it happened to him while he was just browsing the internet, the monitor went out he said, but then came back on within 5 seconds. I suspect it's a bad video card but I really don't know much about these things. Also, it's a brand new HP HD monitor I'm using, I don't believe it's the monitor.. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Anne

It will most likely either be

a) a bad cable
b) a bad connector on the video card
c) bad connector on the monitor

The most likely issue will be a bad connection on the video card and taking it back to cyberpower is possibly the best choice. Do you have another monitor or another new-ish TV in your house that your able to connect to build up to?

If you do, and its still going into standby, then you can rule out the monitor as the faulty component.

EDIT: Nice build by the way

My other monitor I had hooked up prior to buying this one gave me a similar issue. The monitor itself wouldn't go out, but the speakers would make the same funny noise and the monitor would freeze and I'd again have to manually shut computer down.

Best answer

Check the power connections to the video card they could be loose or not fully seated. Also the card itself may not be fully seated so check that also.
You also can down load evga precission which is evga's gpu monitoring tool and see if your getting heat spikes or power issued. As the card is overclock I know its rare but it may have issues. You may want to try setting it to default 560 ti speeds, then see if you still have the issue and also make sure you have the newest drivers for the video card installed.

It hasnt happened since I switched the port where I plug my monitor in...maybe something was loose? Bad port? In any case it seems to be working perfectly w/o issues now. Thanks for all your help guys!
