Black screen when gaming GV-R927XOC-2GD (WINDFORCE)
« on: May 29, 2015, 06:42:01 am »
Hi.
Same as many people i'm having this problem...

When i'm not playing everything works fine but when i'm gaming the screen goes black (i can hear the game sounds) them after a few seconds the PC just freezes and i have to turn off but holding power button. This happens at random (sometimes with just a few minutes of gaming, sometimes more). I've changed my power supply and tried to "underclock" the memory and GPU but the problem still remains. Finally i updated the VBIOS but this did not help me at all...
Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

This problem has plagued me for months and I have tried everything to solve it.  I just stumbled on something which has solved the problem outright for me.  In my motherboard bios, I changed the PCIE setting to Gen 2 from Auto.  I happened to read in the small print that my motherboard won't support Gen 3 unless I have an APU installed which I don't.  Since doing this, my PC hasn't missed a beat playing even the most demanding games.
