As of about a week ago i've been running into an issue that randomly when i enter anything full screen, whether it be a video file on my pc, youtube, crunchyroll, etc, all three of my screens will go black and after about 5 or 10 seconds i hear the sound effect of a device being disconnected from the computer. From that point i have to hard reset my computer.

All of this happens under very minimal load. I am updated to the most current GPU driver and everything runs fine other than during the black out.

Speccy:


Any follow-up questions i'd be glad to answer.

I would reseat + uninstall/install your video drivers, start there and see if that fixes it!

If this doesnt fix it, whats your PSU? your PSU could be not strong enough to power your video card, which can cause it to black-out and what have you!
Also what cooling system do you run, my 950 runs 29-35 while idling, and maxs-out at 45 while playing Ultra on games like the Witcher for my temp

Also running looks like 4 monitors as well, this could be another issue in maxing out your cards cap, it could be shorting out because of all the differet outputs you have to 1 single card

power supply is a rosewill 550w. Ive never had this problem before unless the PSU is weakening. Ive run this card on this PSU for about a year now, and i added the 4th monitor (a TV actually) about a month ago. Cooling is nothing special, just a bunch of case fans and a Evo 212 cooler on the cpu. Is there any sort of significance that the issue only seems to happen as i make a video full screen?The problem has never occured while gaming or anything else. I'll try keeping the TV disabled from the PC unless i'm using it. That is the only real reason I could imagine would be causing this.

Tbh the TV actually might be causing the issue, take off the 4th screen I bet this solves it, in your language your speaking you added this one most recent and are seeing signs of your computer having issues, remove this display first and run a test see if it fixs it!

if this doesn't solve it, it can go either way on the PSU or the GFX card going bad, I'm not positive here! Until it goes for sure or actually shows a huge sign that its failing then you would know!
