Is your motherboard bios current? Does running the gpu fan on max speed help prevent the problem? Does running the card in debug mode/underclocked to nvidia 1080 reference speeds help prevent the problem? Does the black screen occur on all outputs (dp, hdmi, dvi)? Does running the pci-e slot in gen2 mode help prevent the problem? What is the make/model/age of your psu? Is your tv running the latest firmware?

Dude, you got questions for days..lol.. Thanks.
Do my best to answer them.
 
Made a custom fan profile, that is aggressive and the temps are better than I'm use to actually. lol.. Never even gets close to 80c.
 
I ran the card in games and stress tested it, benched it in Valley, Haven and firestrike.. It's solid and doesn't blackscreen.
 
This is via HDMI. I don't have a DP cable and I don't even think this TV had a DP input..
 
Gen 2 would be slower but I don't think that's the cause.. It's videos.. Seems to be a very certain type of video even, after testing it for a while.
Those ones people post on facebook, seemingly from phones or something. Player that has black bars on the sides. Blackscreens even if I don't play the video..
Just having it, in still motion and scrolling to it, makes it blackscreen.
 
Make of the PSU is good, Corsair 850, high rated PSU. Not old at all. System is only a couple years old.
 
TV auto updates firmware..
 
Idk...Guess I'm just going to have to bang my head against the wall for a bit and figure it out..

I was/am having the exact same problem.
 
I thought I was going crazy lol and I might be the only one with this problem.
 
I have a Samsung 40in ju7100 that was freezing and going to a black screen mainly watching Twitch streams.
 
Youtube was also not loading videos sometimes.
 
BTW this happen on TWO different cards, a EVGA 1080 founders edition and a EVGA 1080 SC.
 
For now it seems updating/re-installing Flash has fixed the problem.

 
 
I'll try that, ty..

Flash player does that even on a normal PC when it is wacked.  It does it more with the higher resolution you go. 

Lol.. Quality product there. XD Good to know though. if it's just flash, I'm sure I can figure something out..TY

The black screen thing could be the driver crashing due to unstable overclock.   Also what's your Power Supply could be power issue if the card isn't getting enough juice.
It's completely a silicon lottery EVGA isn't binning the GPUs for the FTW boards, so sounds like you might of gotten one that can't quite hit 2Ghz.
 
My buddy just got a FE card that can't go beyond 1940Mhz he starts getting artifacts or driver crashes.    So seems it's completely luck of the draw.

 
Yea, my card OC's like crap on the core but insanely on the memory. However I dropped the OC and it still happens.
I've thoroughly stress tested the card, in various benchmarks and games and it is stable, as a one legged man in an butt kicking contest..
Or a two legged man.. Whichever is more stable..
Thanks for the info.
