    monitor stops receiving signal, gpu dying?
    « on: October 29, 2017, 01:04:31 PM »
    Two days ago my screen stopped receiving a signal while playing games. Everything worked again after rebooting my pc. Then it went black again and again...
    Yesterday the screens went black while browsing social media. So there was little stress on the gpu. I also had a bluescreen that day and stuttering images.
    I have already done a clean reinstall with an older nvidia driver that was very stable, with no improvements. Also tried another psu and checked the ram.
    Now i'm using the onboard graphics of my cpu and my monitor is plugged into the mobo. Now my monitor isn't blackscreening anymore but i can't play games.
    Could my gpu be dying or another component?
    I have this current setup for about 2 years:

    GPU: EVGA GTX 960 SC
    CPU: Intel i5 4590
    MOBO: Asrock H97 anniversary
    PSU: Coolermaster B600
    RAM: Kingston 2x4gb 1600mhz value ram
    HDD and SSD with Windows

    One thing you can try is remove all power to the PC and remove / re-seat the GPU...
