I figured mine was due to the monitor not getting the wake up signal from the display port.
HDMI isn't an issue, but Display port wouldn't even show the bios. Pulled the power out the wall, and it came back to life.

If your monitor has a "Deep Sleep" setting --> turn it Off .. this is a known issue Some monitors are just problematic & require you to remove power

Yeah i'm running into this issue right now. I submitted a ticket yesterday night. It worked fine for one day, then out of no where, blue screen, computer restarted, and now 3080 ftw3 ultra does not give any signal. i have tried multiple monitors and none of them work. I diagnosed by putting back in my old card, and I can get a signal, but 3080 still does not give me anything.

TEST --> try the Nvidia 456.71 driver https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/3139679theskyisthelimit99
Just an update, it was suggested in another thread, that going back to 456.71 driver would cure the sleep issue and bsods.
So far i'm happy to say it has (even trying ram at defaults with cpu at defaults with that newest driver didnt).
Its pulling a ton of (expected) watts though, 10900k 1.339 load 5.1ghz with 43" lcd and peripherals im sitting around 705 watts.
Might also want to try a Power flush 1 - Shut down 2 - Unplug PC & anything connected to PC that is plugged into the wall (monitor, printer, USB hub ...) 3 - Now hold "start button" in for 20 sec to discharge capacitors .... 4 - Plug in & reboot

I have been getting blue screens with error code VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR. I have tried everything. I have cleanly reinstalled the latest drivers. I have even reset my entire system. It still continues to crash.

some update came out Tuesday that has messed my 3080 Evga bios for 3080 update. The issue is now my gpu isnt recognized and windows treats it as Windows basic adapter, and it does a black screen every 3-5secs that also lasts 5 seconds or so then you'll hear a plug in sound like new hardware and screen turn back on last 3 seconds and back to black, this will continue until the pc is restarted. once restarted itll show in Device manager as 3080 with a warning sign (this device isnt working properly). i did a clean driver install, i even reinstalled windows for the problem to continue, i placed my old 1080 in and problem went away. any suggestions? I will install the 3080 on a back up pc today and see if it runs, both PC's have a 750gold rated seasonic psu 16gb 3200 RAM, one has a 5900x ryzen the other a 2700x.

Get black screen sometimes after logging into windows. Issue started with the 3080. Video only comes back when I turn off my second monitor, and whenever I turn it back on all works as normal. It happens randomly when I power on pc even with several runs of display driver uninstaller in safe mode.

Haven’t dug into the issue yet, just received my 3080 FTW3 today, but have had a couple black screen flashes, (3-5 second of black screen), with windows almost looking like they got moved around on the screen after the flash. Has happened while on the desktop. Also had a 5 sec freeze up in GTAv, haven’t done a lot of gaming yet though.

My 3070 black has been doing this. Freezes then a 5 second black screen. Everything seems to work just fine afterwards except Destiny 2 wont load up. Also, out of the three DP on the back, one works fine, one screws up the resolution, and the other just go in and out repeatedly. Havent tried another DP cable to see if thats the problem though.

Exact same thing here with 3090 FTW3 Ultra.. just random black screens that only last 5 seconds or so, sometime when just using a browser with nothing else open, sometimes gaming, usually accompanied by brief fan spin-up.

Long shot ... In Windows ... Turn OFF ..... the update feature "Delivery Optimization" It is known to cause stuttering in Windows 10

Same here, with a new 3080 FTW3 Ultra.
Spent the whole day yesterday of gaming and browsing without problems, then when the desktop was just sitting there with a single browser window, it went black.
Things were still running in the background, because sound was also still there. Tried Win+ctrl+shift+B, but did not bring back the screen. Had to hard reset it. After that its everything normal again.
The event viewer says, that the driver stopped respondig, but has recovered. But obviously the HDMI display output didnt.
Using an LG B8 OLED at 4K60, no gsync.
Would be nice if someone figures out this. Isnt funny with an 800$ card. I hope its just the driver, and an update very soon solves this.

As my 3080 FTW3 Ultra is new, no, i did not try any older drivers. But, i did try to set the driver to highest performance, so that the card does not downclock in idle. I did not have any black screens for 24 hours uptime now.

I have been having a very similar issue, I've replaced RAM, PSU, CPU (had an older one) and have reinstalled windows and gone back to an older driver twice using DDU.
I've noticed that when my screens go black (2 in DP, 1 HDMI) I can still hear everything.
Windows Event Manager tells me that it's a DWM crash and my screens won't come back on until a hard reset.
Sometimes this works for hours, sometimes it works for less than a minute, and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.
I don't want to RMA my card, so I'll try the delivery optimization trick and see. Performance mode didn't help, still happens at full clock speed.
I don't want to RMA this card as I'll probably wait months for a new one and I need this for work!

Experiencing this as well. Rather annoying, but I remember seeing similar behavior back when I first got my 2080 Super right when they launched. My guess is it's related to drivers. For me, the black screens happen very randomly (they last anywhere between 1-5 seconds), and everything I check event viewer is an NVLDDMKM error. Hopefully this is fixed in the next few driver releases. I don't mind the black screens while browsing the web too much, but every once in a while Fortnite will crash (sometimes errors out, sometimes boots me straight to desktop) and that's super annoying. Probably related to this error as well.
I really don't think our cards are defective, or that there's much EVGA can do at this point. Thinking we kinda have to wait for Nvidia to fix the driver bugs. Or maybe Nvidia + Microsoft, I don't know exactly.

Just posted this on another thread, but I'll add it here, seems relevant: I've been getting the nvlddmkm error multiple times playing Civ VI DX12. While looking for solutions, one thing I found which may impact black screens is changing power plan to 'High Performance' instead of the apparent default 'Balanced' in Windows 10, and then a couple of additional steps as follows: Start button > Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Additional Power Settings (text link which opens a new window) > The window may only show 'Power Saver' and 'Balanced' plans - if so, click the little menu arrow for 'Additional Plans' and you'll find 'High Performance' there. Select it. Next step is to click the text link 'Change Plan Settings' next to 'High Performance' and you'll be in a new screen where you can change display times etc. Below that is a text link 'Change Advanced Power Settings' ..click it. A new box will open titled "Power Options" and the drop down list at the top should now be showing 'High Performance (Active)'. If not, change it so it does. In the list below it, expand the 'PCI Express' option, and then expand the 'Link State Power Management' option. If it's not already set to "off", change it to 'off' and click 'Apply' at the bottom of the box. That's it. Apparently it can help alleviate the nvlddmkm issue, and more relevant to this thread, it may also help with the black screens.. time will tell. The PCIe Link State Power Management setting is basically how long it takes to come out of sleep state (latency), but seems to have helped some people.

Thanks for sharing. I checked my settings and unfortunately for me I already have my settings set this way, and I still experience occasional black screens (with NVLDDMKM errors in event viewer). Happens rarely enough to where I can probably wait for a driver update. I'm still 99% sure this isn't a hardware issue, so no need to RMA.

Hi there! I hadn't see the part about "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" in Windows. I currently (and probably always?) have it disabled, but I just enabled. The rest of the options... Windows Power Option -> Ryzen High Performance NVCP -> Power Management Mode "Optimal Power" -- setting to High Performance causes GPU clock speed bug that locks GPU clock at 1800mhz even while idle at desktop. Fast Boot -> Was "ON" but now "OFF" Hopefully this helps, thank you so much!

Hi Just got my 3090 FTW3 Ultra today and I'm getting less-than-a-second black screens. It happened while browsing and gaming. I've tried GeForce CP Power management mode to max, Debug Mode, all power options are already as they should and Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling is on as well. Hope this is a driver issue. I really don't want to RMA.

And this is exactly the workaround, that prevents these black screens, until nvidia fixes their drivers.

We'll see. I still haven't changed this option, but since changing the other 2 or 3 in my post above I haven't had a single black screen or NVLDDMKM error. But as always, fingers crossed :)

NVCP -> Power Management Mode "Optimal Power" -- setting to High Performance causes GPU clock speed bug that locks GPU clock at 1800mhz even while idle at desktop.
That's not a bug, it's supposed to do that.
