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...
