Guys like you I’ve been pulling out my hair and I now look like fryer tuc! I came across a video and now I’m wondering if too much PCIE draw from the board is the issue? Here is the vid  ideally we need a good response from Evga directly as I trust Evga but my confidence in there Graphics card product is being eroded. And I’m in two minds to tell scan switch to a new product as I’ve lost faith in this one! And I would rather wait a month for a more expensive card ie ASU’s Rog Strix, I’m fed up paid so much waited so long and no official feed back from EVGA at all it’s like they have buried there head in the sand!!! i might be wrong with this conclusion but until some top bod comes on here and says otherwise and they know what the problem is I’ll chalk it down to hardware problem, so I’ll be looking at a new company, I’ve been Evga ever since my brother told me they where good but these problems requires an official response @Jacob Freeman where are you?!

Two things.
1. If the idle crashing in browser would have to do anything withe PCIE power draw, why isnt it crashing in games, when the power draw is multiple times bigger?
2. Not just EVGA cards are affected. I saw posts with nearly every other brand. 
 

 
My Card was crashing in game CP2077, the only game that was played on the card and it only started doing it after 15 hours of play and that’s over 3 or 4 days. Now I was able to play CP2077 after repeatedly mounting and I mounting it then just pulled it out and left it for a hour as it completely dropped from the motherboard. Then it started working well able to play the game but soon exiting to desktop it crashed. Ive not got the time and inclination to be messing with a £1700 card.
 
I’ve only seen this with EVGA, I’ve searched ASUS and the crashing issues were the first ones with the high over boosting drivers. Unless you can provide a like? I would love it not to be a hardware thing and would love to have my EVGA card but man all I want to do is game and right about now I have no faith in the card and well Evga are not reassuring anymore about this issue.

While I await for a new PSU I decided to remove my 3080 and go back to my 1080, which never had any issue. Now I'm experiencing the exact same problems (even after a clean driver reinstall), the moment I start gaming the nvidia driver stops responding. For now I'm inclined to think this is a combination of windows and nvidia drivers. Now I'm on my way to format windows and see if this issue persists on a clean install with my 1080.

Yes thanks for the info, so we are back to drivers? Problem is we are just stabbing in the dark the big boys are not talking ie Nvidia or Evga. Let us know how the clean install goes. As I’ve tried ddu with different GPU drivers non solve the issue last one i had on was 460.97 Hotfix 
 

Going to uninstall Geforce Experience and test..

i don't think the issue is with power draw, at least not in my case? i'll take a screenshot next time this happens to show what my symptom is like. basically each program's border loses its graphics and would look like windows xp's border 😂. i'm trying one last thing which is to run the card normally without any OC but with a fan curve but i really don't think this will do anything since this GPU connection lost issue happens ONLY when i'm not gaming, just idling or using a browser.
 
EDIT: another thing i might try is to run just the single G-sync monitor and see what happens. I notice whenever this issue happens the second monitor goes dark completely while the main one still works but with no GPU powering it.

If you are crashing in CP2077, then you have a different problem than most of us. This discussion was about black screening while browsing in idle. I never have instability in games.

disable fan stop, the gpu's gddr6 might get over 100'C even in desktop use

Well it’s as I said it’s been tested at the shop, and they logged it at GPU crashes during work load, so looks like I’ll have the funky lighting as I’m deleting PX1 as after that update it lasted a few days and then died, and most people are saying they have that installed I just want a working GPU back, which should be tomorrow

thanks bro

I'm having an issue where I get black screen crashes after the screen shows green and purple dot artifacts. I've run DDU several times after reinstalling a fresh copy of windows, resetting BIOs settings aside from what my RAM needs, and installing multiple copies of drivers. Strangely enough, when plugging my 3070 XC3 Ultra into my older intel PC, it works with no crashes. Same happens when I try running my old MSI GTX 960 in my newer build. It's getting on my nerves... I am thinking it's a driver/windows issue.

Edit: It crashed on boot on my older PC (much larger PSU available) so I'm RMA-ing it as my 960 card works fine in both my old and new builds. Hopefully the replacement will fix my issue!

I would like to chip in to the discussion:
 
I have corsair keyboard and so I was using iQue software to control the lights. This was generating a lot of crashes (that may or may not have ended up in some of the black screens). It wasn't the ultimate reason for my black screens but it also played its role. There is a very old thread in corsair forums regarding this software and its apparently a known issue. Removing it reduced the errors and it was one more check point on my list of things that "could go wrong".

I also am experiencing this problem...
 
I just got the 3070 ftw3 this week and installed it in my new PC build and I'm getting the black screen after a few minutes no matter what i am doing on the pc the pc stays on and everything is running but the monitor goes black for like 15 seconds or so, i originally thought it only happens when i was watching Youtube videos and i didn't move the mouse curser. but then i was just fixing some folders on my desktop and it happen as well.
 
I have tried a bunch of troubleshoots ..at this point idk what to do.

Did you follow the guides in the first Post  https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/3131813

I was having similar issue to this, where my GPU would show black screen and say display is sleep. Event logger didn't show any driver fault and i tried everything; reinstalled window, undervolt, reseated GPU, disable gsync, tried second PCIE slot, different display port, rollback driver to hot fix, DDU, reseat all components (RAM, CPU etc..and disabled any OC/XMP/PBO), swapped parts around.... Problem still persisted! Weirdly it was happening on low demand applications like chrome or youtube, changing game setting, loading screen etc... Then I came across a forum post with the RTX 3080 having random power spikes during idle-load phase so I swapped my 750W Supernova G2 for new psu (Corsair RM 850x) and now it runs fine. Could have been bad PSU, maybe I had a dodgy cable or who knows what. But I hope this suggestion fixes your black screen.

Seems like the black screen issue, or flicking of the screen is still not fixed. I'm using the latest driver, and still it does it. Anyone figured out the possible reasoning on why it's doing this? Clearly it's a Nvidia driver issue and not a hardware issue. When the screen goes black for me and comes back, in the event viewer log it's coming back as this: display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered. I read a few of the posts here and some of you are suggesting setting the global power management to 'prefer max performance'? Here is my idle temp now with 'prefer max performance' set in the global profile to Nvidia control pane. Is 55-60 degree's celsius high for idle? On load it'll peak to 75 degree's celsius.

I had this exact error just with black screen and fans revving high but I also had fans not being controllable and going up and down randomly at huge speed and noise (3500-4000rpm readings). In the end I had to rma and now using drivers 456.98 hotfix (detected as 456.38) with the new card. Zero issues after 37 days with 6-12 hours operation including all sorts of games.

Yeah I don't have that with the fans revving crazy high and not being able to control them. I'm able to control my fans, or enable auto, and allow the software to figure it out by itself. However what I do notice, and I'm sure it's EVGA's software being buggy... Sometimes the 3rd fan doesn't spool up and only 2 fans spin. I close the Precision X1 software, and magic the 3rd fan spools up. Sometimes it's their software that is buggy sadly. As for the error with black screen, so far it hasn't come back. Unfortunately, I have the power management set to 'prefer max performance'. So when the PC is idle, the video cards clock speeds aren't. Right now as I speak, the GPU temp is 60 degree's celsius idling. I really hope Nvidia addresses this issue. Supposedly they have address the TDR for browsing Chrome/edge. If that's the case, Firefox should be thrown in the mix too because Firefox I believe uses GPU accelerated hardware. I also think iCue software does too. So when I run both, thats when I get the black screen and 'nvlddmkm' error, only when power management is set to 'normal'. Just sucks my idle temp is so high. I assume 60 degree's celsius idling isn't going to kill the GPU. Once I put load on the card, it settles around 75-76 degree's celsius.
 
Here is my fans at 100%. You had me thinking, so I was just testing just now lol. Ran the fans at 100% for maybe 5 mins with the side panel off. Was trying to hear any weird signs of wear to the fans. So far, so good. I assume if there was issues with my fans, maybe a gritty sound would reveal itself? Or the fans will not be controllable like the issue you had?

 
After I put the fans to auto, this is the idling temp after 10 mins lol...
