So I have a GTX780 on win 7 and just recently after about 5 mins of playing any game the screens go blank and i get a weird sound... windows seems to keep running and so do the games and voip as the sound from the games and from voip keeps working. Only a reset brings the monitors back on.
 
Any idea what this might be or how I should trouble shoot it?
 
Thanks

    Give #4 a try. If #4 doesn't help list your full system specs for further assistance.

    If what Sajin directed doesn't work, try using a different output in the rear of the GPU.  I've had the same issue where it seemed one of my DVI's was going bust for quite some time, 1-2+ years.  Mind you I had tried switching power and video cables, etc.  It would come and go till I gave it a shot and switched it to another connector and haven't had an incident since.

    Sounds like it was overheating.  

    Glad to see it's working again.

    I'm completely confused.  Just realized it wasn't the OP responding to his/her own thread.  

    Thanks for the fix GTX.

    I am sorry that you are having an issue with black screens. When the card's fans ramp up to 100% fan speed attributed with a black screen, this indicates that the Over-Current Protection feature on the card is being triggered. This can be caused by one of two things;
    1. The card has faulty OCP
    2. The Power Supply's 12v rail is fluctuating in voltage

    There are some troubleshooting steps we can do to isolate the source of the issue. The first (easiest) method would be to test the card in another system. If the issue follows the card to another system, the issue would likely be with the card.
    The second method would be to test another power supply in the system. If the issue goes away with another power supply in the system, the issue is likely the power supply's 12v rail fluctuating in voltage under load.

    If you are able to troubleshoot this issue, and you have isolated the issue, please let us know of the results!
