    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    This is now fixed. When it was fixed i did 2 things, replugged one of my ram sticks and what stated above with power management settings and gpu selection. My idle speed is the stock 1725mhz and my load speed is 2025mhz (or whatever else i'd have set it to). If anybody else has this, you might...

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    Update: I now haven't had this happen anymore since i took out 1 ram stick and put it back in a few hours after it not happening. Also I have put power management to max. performance and selected my 3080 to be the graphics thing for everything, which led to the mhz staying at stock 1725...

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    Also it cannot be a windows glitch, as others reinstalled it and even formatted their whole pc. If anything it has something to do with the bios or something, but that's also pretty unlikely i'd say

    Monitor Loses Connection when playing games

    I think you should follow the instruction to just send a correct pc link so they can confirm or deny their idea of the psu being the cause. But to answer you again, I haven't had this happen for a few seconds only. It happens mostly on idle as I mentioned, but then fully loses connection with...

    Monitor Loses Connection when playing games

    Yes I am talking about that issue.. I also have it, and i can also confirm that it happens less likely when the gpu is demanded more. That's what's leading me to going towards the cpu side of things. Or ram, mainboard, ... As I've mentioned, someone with this issue replaced his gpu twice and it...

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    Well, replacing other hardware might fix it. Just the gpu isn't the source. I currently run on only 1 ram stick and haven't had a black screen since, but i might just be lucky as i sometimes was with 2.

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    Update: people on the internet having the same issue reported that replacing the gpu or even formatting the whole pc does not do anything. I tried lowering both clock and memory speeds as that should've been a temporary fix according to one user. This also didn't work for me. I am now running...

    Monitor Loses Connection when playing games

    You don't have to reinstall windows. Many people have this issue and some reformatted their pc, replaced their gpu and the list goes on. All of this doesn't help. I currently assume something like an intel 10th gen issue under high load? Or maybe a z490 issue? Maybe a bios issue? Maybe even a...

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    Another addition: Now it also happens in other games. And every few hours or so. Which is insanely annoying as I get banned for leaving matches in certain games.. GPU fans went to the max after losing monitor connection twice today. I have changed my main monitor from one display port slot to...

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    Quick note. I have just read through a similar thread on this forum and one answer was to make sure to not update drivers unless it's necessary. I have once tried to fix something audio related, but I don't exactly remember what it was. And for that I've used a driver updater and just updated...

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    Addition to 2. I have done the DDU reinstall a few months ago because my gpu never went to idle speeds but rather always stayed at 1725. And now the signal loss seems to occur when it wants to idle, but that's just an assumption. And it also doesn't explain why it occurs while f1 22 is...

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    1. No I have not done that yet. I haven't done excessive testing myself yet also because I don't have much time with my pc. I planned on trying my old gtx 960 and see if it still occurs but I guess I can also just run the monitors through the cpu, that's true. 2. The thing is, it mainly...

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    Everything is air cooled. At this exact moment my pc ran without issues for 4-5 hours again. GPU sits at a very max of 75°C but I am using a very slightly lower fan curve. CPU is tough to be cooled with air as it's a 10 core i9, cooled by my noctua nh u12s and while gaming it's around 75-85°C...

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    *I have done a clean DDU driver installation a few months ago due to my idle clock speeds never going below 1725. Also I'm on Windows 11. And on my 2nd boot it it the same thing.

    Solved Frequent random signal loss, having to force turn off. RTX 3080 at fault?

    My monitors frequently started turning black with the signal lost pop up. They then continue to stay in that state until I force the pc to turn off and reboot. I bought my Zotac trinity oc rtx 3080 10gb lhr in August 2021. Other specs are an i9 10900k, trident z 2x16gb ddr4 3200mhz, a z490 aorus...
