Topic: Using 7950 gpu screen keeps going black (Read 989 times)
defective vga, or probably corrupted windows 7, check the cables also
I'm using my 52" Sony Bravia with a 30' hdmi cable, wireless keyboard/mouse. I've also tried bringing the computer in the living room and using a 6' hdmi cable with no change. I've never had an issue with my dvd or satellite receiver using hdmi.
Sometimes when I go to a site with bright solid colors it will start blinking on and off right away, causing a need to reboot then it's fine. Before Mint went down it often seemed to start the moment I logged in - might have been all the bright green. Bittrex seems to get it going too sometimes.
Any ideas of settings I should look at?

Have you tried another graphical card?
Yes, all the things I've tried are in my op.

Anyone?
You could try to run your computer with a linux dvd for a few days just to see how stable it is. To rule out the OS and drivers

yeah ive had loads of problems with monitors in the past some aren't compatable with some hard ware and I can see it struggling with the miner in particular.
try another monitor.
I've had a few go bad that way due to bad caps.

What connection are you using to display on the screen?
Msi 970a-g43 mb, 8gb ram, 120gb hd, Windows 7.
I haven't mined with it since I sold the other gpus, just used it for surfing basically.

I decided to turn one of my mining rigs into my main computer several months ago and have had a problem with the screen going black for an instant then coming right back ever since. Things I have tried:
Used driver sweeper and re-run the driver I don't know, maybe half a dozen times?
Tried another pcie port
Tried another 7950 gpu
Tried different browsers
Tried lots of different memory and core clock settings
Nothing changes it. It will be fine for a couple days, then all of a sudden the screen will go black, come back, and it will repeat over and over until I reboot and it will be fine for a couple days again.
Does anyone have any idea wtf is causing this? any ideas greatly appreciated.

What are your computer specs.
Also, what is your operating system?
