Monitors Randomly Lose Signal/GPU Crash?

Just updated my EVGA GTX 1070 to the latest drivers using the GeForce Experience program which set BF1 to run at ultra settings (1080p), but lately the game has been crashing my system. After anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours of gameplay my monitors will suddenly go black, show a "no signal" message and turn off. The sound will keep playing thru my speakers and my computer doesn't shut off but it becomes unresponsive to any input including pressing the power button to put it to sleep. My only choice is to do a hard reset. I haven't been having this problem with any other programs or games nor have I ever experienced this problem before.

I use GPU and CPU monitoring programs to make sure that my system is not overheating. The GPU usually stays around 65 degrees Celsius which I assume is normal. My build also has six fans and plenty of ventilation - never feels hot after the crash. I have also run multiple driver check programs to ensure that all of my monitor/gpu/etc drivers are up to date.

Here are my specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate

2x ASUS VG248QE 24-inch Monitors

Intel i7-3770k @3.50GHz

EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Superclocked

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 Motherboard

Corsair CX750 80 Plus Bronze PSU

16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3 RAM

SanDisk 128GB SSD

Seagate 2TB HDD

    Run the most recent nvidia driver setup again but this time choose advanced/custom install, deselect the optional components leaving only the video driver and PhysX, select the clean install check box and complete the installation. Reboot and retry. Oh, and a clean boot will not hurt: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Just curious are you using the HDMI port? 

    I had exactly the same thing happen with another game, then it started happening more frequently, it was the HDMI slot, I switched to Dvi and no trouble.

    Might not be the case but anything that may help right?

  • F1tzy, might have something here. I have had the same problem but thought it was a sound cad issue. I have a HDMI monitor hooked up to a display port adater. Starting to think the EA [Edit - Admin.] will have you replace your computer b4 adressing the software issue.... just my opinion after 8+ days of this $149 BS
