Hello everyone.
 
I have a weird issue with my graphic card: during games (or even on windows but it's rarer), I have some black screens relatively often (each time I play a game it happens at least once). they late only 2 or 3 seconds (the games continues in "blind mode") but it's very annoying.
I have installed the last nvidia drivers.
I have a 700W power supply, so I don't think it's a power issue.
I tried another HDMI cable, but it changed nothing.
I though the issue was due to Geforce Experience application, but there 's still issues (perhaps less) when I played without that app running.
I really don't know what to do to fix that. Is there a software way to fix it (may be it's a overclocking issue) ? Can someone help me ?
PS: sorry for my english

    I would try a slightly older driver that worked on your system before this began. Do a clean install with custom installation and uncheck boxes for things you don't need like 3D drivers.

    Could be a faulty hdmi output. Does the same issue occur when using the dvi or displayport outputs?

    Hi.
    with an older driver I got less issues (only two since my last post) but when it happened, that crashed the game (with a message "nvidia driver ceases to work"... I forgot I had that bug but I had when I was on those old drivers). so it happens less often but it's more annoying than having black screen for few seconds. I will put back last drivers and test something else.
    Thanks for your reply, Sajin.
    I don't have DVI cable right now, but I will buy one to test.

    No problem. Let me know how the dvi/displayport cable works for you.

    Hi.
    I didn't reply since last message because the issue seemed to be gone (may be the last win10 expansion fixed something)... even last drivers worked.
    But since two weeks, the issue is back and happens more often that ever.
    I really fed up with that mess. I bought that card because I was said it was a good mark, but I wonder if it was true.
    I don't care the issue is from the card or the drivers, the result is I can't use it normally. I don't want to try DVI because I payed for something that should work with HDMI !!!
    I had also some issues with my headphones and the nvidia audio drivers that did mess too. I'm really disappointed.

    Sorry to hear that. Trying dvi is recommended as it will let us know if the hdmi output is faulty or not.

    I have somewhat similar 2 second black screen blanks. Mine is caused by static electricity being discharged into a lightswitch in the same room, or my mouse/keyboard.
     
    When it's dry it happens all the dang time, but when it's a little more humid it stops happening. It's poor grounding at my TV and AVR (both don't have grounded power cords).
