GTX 670 - Turns off then resets monitors

[EvilHomer15]

Hi.

I have this problem, ever since I upgraded to GTX 670 DCII, from CFX 6950.

I play a game on monitor 1, with 120Hz.
I watch stream on monitor 2, with 60Hz.

Once in a while, both monitors shut off for 3 seconds then turn back on.

In game, the FPS drops to ~30-40 fps, where before it was 200-300. This will keep on low fps for ~15seconds, then goes back to normal.
On the stream, it says "Adobe Flash Player" error. I have to F5 the browser.
When this happens, my MSI afterburner overclocks wipe till I reset them.

This can also happen when monitor 2 is idle.

I am using newest driver, and MSI afterburner.

Any idea on what the issue could be?

Hey friend I have the EXACT same problem

Theres two things you need to do:

1. Go to nVidia and change your driver. If you have the WHQL one then use the R300 version. Its the only one there.

2. Its a conflict problem with Windows UPDATES. I currently have 60 updates of Windows and I uninstalled every single one of them. All of the security updates included.

I dont know which specific update it is, but i just removed all of them. And now its back to normal.
