Adam Banks Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Bummer!! Do you have a basic GFX outlet on your motherboard? You could try all your monitors one by one - but it really does look like the GFX card has had it. Apart from the odd power supply giving up the ghost, I think GFX cards have always been the components that have gone kaput on me. Hardly surprising, considering the punishment I give them . Adam.

Thanks Adam i do not know about a GFX outlet i have contacted my pc guy he lives about a 1 hrs drive from me he fitted a new power supply a 1200 wat and also put my old card in which is a gtx 780 ti which i have been using for about 4 weeks for my spare monitors it has its own connection to the power supply running 2 monitors . And my main one my 1080 for my 4k G-SYNC monitor when my monitors went off i took the side off my tower and the fan on my 1080 was going like hell and the writing on the card said fan off but my pc was still on just the monitors i will wait till my guy gets back or what ever he tells me to do regards stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to say "thanks for the occasion to upgrade the GPU", before I read Stewart is already running a 1080.

I installed the latest Nvidea driver a few nights ago. Since then I have had 2 crashes in v4.1 which since I installed when it first came out has never happened. I may also roll back to my previous driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has never happened to me before Sammy i thought i had a big problem with my graphics card after several days i was thinking that i had got a new NVidia driver and may be that's the problem . i would be doing a flight and about 1 and a half hrs my monitors went black and my fan on my card was really going mad and last night looked on the right of my monitor and se a message Display driver failed to start and i got thinking last night and this morning i rolled back the driver and downloaded the new driver to my downloads and installed it that way and not through Geforce Experience and run p3dv4.1 from Bristol to Toulouse no problem at all 2 and a half hr flight . i really thought it was going to cost me big money for a new card because i thought it broke . well Sammy i wish you luck my friend regards stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same message. I updated to newest driver then was doing a flight from PANC to RKSI, halfway through the flight the sim crashed. No big deal, next day decided to do another flight and crashed again. Then tried a 14 hour flight down to New Zealand from Houston and worked just fine but upon landing got a message that says " display driver has stopped working and has recovered" but the picture never came back. Just curious which I want to roll back to. This is the main reason I do not always update things, because sometimes they just don't work and screw your entire setup.

Sammy H Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 We can continue via private message Stewart if you want. I don't want forum mods to lock this topic on you. But so you know I rolled back to my previous driver just now. I'm going to give it a test here shortly on this 4 hour flight I'm doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
