MSI N750Ti TF 2GD5/OC, random black screen from hdmi output

Hi,
Bought a MSI N750Ti TF 2GD5/OC and connected it to two monitors. My main monitor is connected to the hdmi port, and the other to the DVI one. I get random black screens on my main monitor. They last about 3-4 seconds, and my secondary screen just runs on happily. Unfortunately the latter screen doesn't support hdmi, otherwise I'd simply switch the outputs to see if it's the monitor or the card. However, I do suspect the card because I can 'break' or trigger the black screen by manipulating the hdmi cable at the card's output.
Anyway, is this a known issue or should I experiment a bit more? If it is know, what's a good solution?
I did update my drivers, btw.
Cheers!

what do you mean by this?
That I only have one monitor with an hdmi input.

have you tried different HDMI cable? or/and different display with HDMI?
Will try a different cable, and see above.

Hi i have the same problem but i have MSI GTX 760 and have random black screens and i try 2 different HDMI cables.
i have geforce experience program on updates drivers and i have Win 7 64 bit and it is doing on wow/Diablo 3/BF 4/BF bad company .... PLS help

You're welcome. Though I don't work for MSI, I am just a user like you
Even though I don't work for MSI, I admit that this forum is part of my boring life

Random black screen freezes - GPU or PSU issue?

Relevant specs:
Gigabyte Z87
MSI GTX 770 (N770 TF 2GD5/OC) - stock speeds, 335.23 WHQL drivers
i7 4771
750w Antec High Current Gamer
Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
For the past three weeks, this setup has been very stable. I then went on vacation for 3 days and then came back. All of a sudden, I then started getting random black screens (which occured in the middle two consecutive LOL matches, I'm quite sure I'm in the tribunal now...). If I'm in the middle of a game, the sound will stutter, and the game/system might appear that it's still playing for a few more seconds even though I can't see anything. I either have to manually reboot, or it'll just restart itself. I don't notice any error message when my system restarts. I tried doing a 3DMARK run to stress-test it, and it black-screened during Fire Strike. Sometimes I'll get a black screen at the Windows desktop doing nothing in particular to stress the card; I even got one in my BIOS setup screen!
This morning, I did a fresh boot and ran GPU-Z. The VDDC graph doesn't look quite right to me, given all the hiccups. Oh, and 5 minutes after that screenshot, another black screen.
The reason I mention the PSU is 1) I noticed that that particular PSU is rated 40A on the 12V rail, and yet the GPU requires at least 42A. but there are two 12V rails on that PSU, for 80A, which should be more than sufficient, and 2) I didn't notice any artifacts prior to any black screen. It's just weird that these would happening out of the blue - it sounds like the kind of issue that would've been present on day 1.
Any thoughts?

I have the same issues.

Random black screen using R4870-T2D1G-OC

Hello,
First post here and I hope to provide as much info as I can as I did a search and couldn't find an answer for my issue, sorry for the long read.
I am using the 4870 1GB OC card and have random black screen that forces me to do a hard reset on my pc to recover when using 3d games, or if the pc enters standby or hibernation enabled (have that cut off now). The problem has happened in every game in my collection, 3d mark vantage (paid version), Bioshock, the witcher, Call of Duty 4, Flight Sim X, Warhammer Online, World of Warcraft, Crysis, and Crysis Warhead. It happens at random times can be from 2 minutes to 1 hour of playtime or benchmark time.
What I have done to attempt to fix the problem:
-tried another card from the store
-Monitored temps and they are fine idle is around 45c max load recorded during partial benchmark was 68c.
-removed all current drivers and used the ones from ati from 8.6 to every driver up to 8.10 with the hotfix, went back to MSI drivers.
-thought the problem may have been vista 64, so I did a fresh install of windows xp home 32bit same problem.
-reseated the card double checked connections.
-used an enermax psu but replaced it back with my PC power cooling.
-removed 2gb of memory from my system.
-removed my x-fi sound card, and tried onboard instead
-removed my raid 0 setup and used a single 500gb drive
-Tried the setup on a media series DP35 Intel board using a q6600 and 2gb of mushkin memory.
-researched the issue online more so then ever, found many posts of the problem but no solution
-gave up hope, put my system back to how it was and reinstalled crummy ol' 8800gt and have no issues.
Please help out with any advice or suggestions that may work, I'm just sick of reinstalling windows and importing my data back, and I have replaced everything troubleshooting myself except for the monitor, I only have this one.
My system is:
-GA-P35-DQ6
-Core2Quad QX6850
-4x1GB KingstonHyperX 1066 DDR2
-Sound Blaster X-Fi xtreme gamer
-PC Power Cooling 750w
-2x seagate 500gb 32mb 7200.11 drives
-Vista 64 Home-Premium SP1
-ViewEra 20.1" monitor at 1680x1050 resolution
Thank You
-edit: I also am using the latest drivers for all components and am sticking with the MSI drivers now, the event viewer has never shown any error log except that it had an unexpected shutdown (from me having to reset the pc)

Yes, they are two different pcs, only parts that are the same of those two pc's is the case (antec 900) and the monitor (ViewEra 20.1" at 1680x1050)
PC #1
MB: GA-P35-DQ6 (F9b bios, although I have tried stable ones up till I got the Beta bios.
CPU: INTEL QX6850
RAM: KingstonHyperX 1066 4x1GB DDR2 2.2v (manufacture's spec for that memory)
PSU: PC Power Cooling 750w PPCS750QBL
Sound Card: X-fi XtremeGamer
Hard Drive: Seagate 7200.11 500gb drive
Operating System: Windows Vista 64bit Home-Premium SP1
PC #2
MB: Asus P5B-E (I had originally said that it was an Intel DP35, after double checking it was an Asus board)
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600
RAM: Mushkin DDR2 1.8v 800mhz
PSU: Enermax 620w
Sound Card: On board
Hard Drive: Seagate 7200.11 500gb drive (same model as PC #1 but it is a different drive)
Operating System: Windows XP Home SP2 (also tried SP3)
Both machines honestly have ran memtest86 for many loops, I have ran SeaTools on the hard drives, and prime95 with a program ATI Tool running as well stressing the video. With HardwareMonitor enabled temps are fine, pc runs good still can browse the internet, run it overnight without any crashes.
Usually the moment the Futuremark Vantage gets to GPU test #2 the monitor goes blank, pc is still running in the background. Within an hour of playing any DX10 or DX9.0c video game the same problem happens. Both of these pc's will function fine unless 3d apps are running, or if the pc is put into standby it will not recover.
Both of these two pc's using an Nvidia 8800GT 512mb OC card the pc's function fine, play games fine, go into standby fine.
What I am wondering is what is the next step, RMA the card again? The problem has happened on PC #1 with both cards, only did this troubleshooting when the second card had same problem as first one. Could there be any possibility that it is the monitor? (I have only been able to test what I have on hand to test with, don't have a second LCD but can get one if needed). Or could it be something software? I have tried virtually every combination of driver with or without the ATI Console, and used MSI's Aug 08 release of their driver, and I have never seen any errors in event viewer either.
Hope that helps clear it up some.

Apple IMac 27 has a problem. Random black screen. Over 1 year without any fix

Apple IMac 27 has a problem.
Random black screen.
Over 1 year without any successful fix.
IMac 27 10.8.4 (12E55) - bought in 2010
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1067 Mhz RAM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
The IMac computer screen goes black randomly but the machine still running beyond.
In order to go back to normal i need to awake the computer by hitting with the pointer a hot corner previously created " sleep mode" ( top left ).
..the black screen would come back after one second again..and then again and then again and then again..with different intervals..sometime 2 seconds after the other, sometime as soon as appears the user login screen.
I took the machine to an Apple Store two times over one year, they opened, cleaned it but they didn't replace anything has they could not understand what they real problem was. I was happy for that because they didn't try to make me spend money on something which was not going to solve my issue for sure.
Last time i kindly asked them to inspect everything meticulously, part by part, i left the machine with them for over 2 months. They couldn't understand why this was happening..after couple of weeks, 5 more machines came in with the same problem.
On some of them., upon request of the client they changed the graphic card but apparently this was not the fix, the problem come back again. Apparently changing the graphic card or the screen or else it didn't solve any problem to anyone. I'm almost thinking to "trough it out of the window"..we all spend money for this machines and i think we need to know if Apple is looking in to this or not.
Lately i tried to do an SMS RESET and PRAM RESET, it feels it got better a little but problem still coming back.
Also, all usb devices are disconnected and the problem still there
Below you will see a copy of the console report. I honestly don't understand much of it as i'm not a computer guy.

I'm now thinking to try to take the machine to its original firmware and see if it still does it, does anyone have any sugestion?
I use a lot photoshop and other image software, this computer is essential for my work. For more then one year this issue caused me problems.
Luckly i have a Macbook Pro too and i managed to do some of my work there. At last I was thinking to buy an external screen and attach it to the Macbook pro in order to work on my big images. But who wants to spend money again!!!???? This is not a fixture, this is silly. I wish to have my IMAc working again.
The warranty it's obviously over and this problem happened right after the warranty was over...
I write this post because i'm so tired of this issue and online nothing can be found apart from posts from so many people that have the same problem and no fixture has been found.
The only fixture seams to be to buy a new computer... Ole'!!!..new money flowing in in the cashier!! forget it!!! i would rather change company if apple doesn't respond to this.
For over 10 years i have been a Apple owner..
When this problem appears it's like someone it's playing a joke at you...
Comments welcome..
Thanks

Hi, I've seem to have found out the source of the problem.
The issue is related to heat, and an iMac 27" gets hot pretty fast.
If I boot the iMac straight after first start into Windows 7 I seem to get a lit built-in display at all times. I can also boot OS X first and then into Windows 7 and the built-in screen get lit every time as long as the iMac isn't hot.
Strange thing is that the monitor connected to the display port gets lit every time. So I can only assume that the heat only interfere with output to the built-in LED screen.
So this iMac is going to an Apple premium reseller for service, and I'll tell you guys how it went.

IMac 27 Late 2009 with Random black screen at startup of Windows 7!

Hi, I'll try to explain the my random black screen issue as best I can.
I have a boot camp partition with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate installed.
I used the USB method to install, all goes well and Windows 7 gets installed, I update drivers, install boot camp etc. all is good, right!
My problem is that everything seems to be in working order, but the built in LED screen will only get lit/active in 1 out of 5 times at startup of Windows, eg. the built in screen stays black/off (black screen issue), like the install issue on iMac 27 I7 w/ATI 4850.
NOTE! When booting OS X the built in LED screen gets lit/active on every startup.
So what I did was connect a second LCD monitor via Display port to DVI, this monitor/screen has no issues, it gets lit/active on every startup of Windows, even if the built in screen/monitor stays black/off (black screen issue).
NOTE! I have tested both the latest drivers from Apple (10.4 19/MAR/2010, found on the USB install method) and AMD ATI Catalyst Driver (10.8 25/AUG/2010). The issue remains on both Apple released drivers and AMD ATI released drives.
1. So to me it seems like there are some detection/communication issues between the built in monitor and the video card on Windows 7, as there is no issue detecting and activating a monitor connected to the display port.
Are we missing a monitor driver in Windows that OS X has, or is this a hardware issue that Apple knows about and compensates for in OS X with on load firmware, driver or a kernel fix?
2. Does anyone else have this issue on their 27" iMac Late 2009 I7, ATI HD 4850 machine?
If yes, did you manage to solve it?
Thanks for any help on this issue.
Cheers,
Kevin

How do I find out what is causing a random black screen on iMac?

Hello I get random black screen on a iMac and I haven't made any hardware changes. How can I find out what is causing this?
Thanks

You can do an SMC and PRAM reset. These won't hurt anything and 'might,' maybe help the screen issue. If it doesn't, then take it into an Apple store or AASP for their guidance and advance testing diagnostics.
SMC:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

R9 290 randomly black screens

Hi,
I've been having issues with my R9 290. Every once in awhile it likes to black screen and lock up the entire system. I'm currently running the latest beta drivers (14.2) but the problem has been taking place even on the current non beta drivers.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and I have a ThermalTake 850w power supply. The card seems to run perfectly other than just the random black screen crashes.
Any help would be appreciated.

The black screen and crashes are being discussed in the AMD forum as well. http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=488&threadid=170363 and http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=440&threadid=169203 Although it started off with the 270 it seems that the 280 and 290 are affected as well.
For some a VBIOS upgrade has solved the problems.

How do i stop black screen from media playback

how do i stop black screen from media playback?

You mean. as in when you put the phone on your face when you are talking?
It goes dark so you will not open apps are press other controls while the phone is pressed to your face.
Don't be rediculous.

Random black screen for 1 second, anyone have this issue?

hi, my macbook pro randomly switches to a black screen
reading threads on black screens, it seems its a common complaint
however I just got mine 2 weeks ago..should a brand new macbook be doing that?
or is it a commonly reported design flaw?
thanks!

MSI 890FXA-GD65 Shutdown(fans continue)/black screen

At random times as well but usually when I'm playing a game (but not always) the computer will go to a black screen with the fans continuing to spin. Some times my CPU fan gets really loud. I had been using the graphics card and PSU in my old machine with no problems, only after I installed the new mobo/cpu/ram did this problem begin to occur.
When this problem happens I can only turn the computer off with the powerswitch on the PSU.
I saw some other people had this issue but no resolutions were given. Also there's seemed to occur more frequently, mine might go for days with no problem. Right now I'm unsure what the issue is some I'm thinking of replacing the motherboard under warrenty. I waited too long to switch it with the store thinking it might be a driver issue but after having all the drivers updated it still continues.

Hi guys,
I have the same board and I am experiencing the same thing. Random shutdowns after a week or so leaving the computer on. Tried to change everything but the motherboard so as a last resort I am trying the following after this thinking. The 890FXA is compatible with Bulldozer and as you can't have a BIOS for every CPU they must have merged functionalities. Remember this extra Pin for Bulldozer? well it is all about managing power so in my mind I thought that:
1) different power management with BD
2) same BIOS
3) same software developpers
4) same shutdown of the computer (CPU fan still running 100%, no video, ...)
5) same BS from MSI
So I looked into the BIOS and found the Green Power section that I entirely disabled (it also removed the cool VRM Led for the CPU but who really cares?). So far it's been 7 days that my computer is up doing cycles of encoding / decoding TV shows and I'm crossing my fingers. Give it a shot and report please... Hope it'll fix the board!

N770 TF 2GD5/OC Gaming black screen blinking problem

Hello there,
i upgraded my PC 4 days ago with a MSI N770 TF 2GD5/OC Gaming graphic card. I installed the newest graphic drivers. Clean install and without nVidia Experience. My problem is black screen blinking when i am playing or watching. Screen turns to black for 1-5 seconds like monitor lost its signal. It happening when i click to fullscreen button. No matter if its in youtube or windows. It happening every time. It does the same when i am playing. Big lag and then black screen blinking for 10 sec. Sometimes more sometimes less than 10 sec. I used Google and i am not the only one, who have this problem. Some people says, that GPU BIOS flash helped but in MSI website is only one BIOS and i dont know if its newer than mine or not. S/N of my card is 602-V282-380B1404100829 (if it helps) and my current bios is here h t t p ://leteckaposta.cz/186979270 (just click on the GK104.rom in the middle). I think i tried almost everything. Registry clean, anti malware and spyware, drivers re-install, turn W Aero Off, UAC off and other worthless tips how to fix this issue. I monitored my PC with many temperature software and i am 100% sure, that overheating isnt the problem. So could you please check if the MSI Bios is newer than mine or tell me what to do to fix this irritating problem?
Thank you very much
PS: I am not a native speaker and english is my 3rd language tbh, so please excuse any grammar mistakes

you are using latest vbios version, test the card in another PC

Random black screen pauses in games

Hi,
So I recently built a brand new machine with all new parts.
The relevant specs:
1 MSI Twin Frozr III GTX 570
Asus p8z68-v pro/gren3
Corsair Vengeance 8GB
The only thing I was able to recycle from my old machine was my Corsair 520HX power supply.
So anyways, the new machine has been great, but I'm noticing in quite a few games I get random flashes to a black screen, I hear the fan on the video card shut off, and then about 1 second later it comes back on as if nothing happened.
I'm noticing this most frequently in both Batman: Arkham City, and Witcher 2.
With Arkham City it also sometimes simply crashes when this happens. Most of the time in both games, it seems to be when its loading new textures on the card, like streaming sections on Arkham City, or cutscenes on Witcher 2.
In both I can see it after the reload stream back in the textures when it recovers.
The video card is running at stock settings, and I've seen this with or without my CPU being overclocked (44x multiplier no voltage increase).
I've looked at the temps and the video card never gets over 45-50, and the CPU 45 so I don't think its pure temperature.
In other games instead of a hard crash, I infrequently seem to just be forcibly alt-tabbed to windows. The game will still be running, but I can't get back into it.
A couple of games where I've seen this: Battlefield 3 and Shattered Horizons.
Any ideas? These parts are brand new, so I'm a little skittish that something is defective but I have no idea what. Also from what I've read the Corsair HX520 power supply SHOULD be enough, but I'm not so sure.
I really don't want to spaz and buy a new power supply, any ideas? Can I diagnose this? I can swap to an old 8800GTS, but I won't be running at NEARLY the same settings in these games so I'm not sure how relevant it will be?
P.S. Am I hurting my system by playing? I'm on vacation at the moment, and would like to continue to enjoy my new system. If I have to replace something I'd like to wait until next week, but I'm a little worried I'm killing a component?

Thats quite difficult for me to do, but I can try. Best guess though, does this seem more like a faulty GPU or a power supply thats not big enough. I mean I read online that a 520HX ought to be enough, but my supply is 4 years old. If it is my power supply, have I already damaged my components?

Don't think so, if its your PSU, the VGA should work just fine with another decent one PSU

EMac random black screen - advice needed

I have an eMac G4 1GB, max RAM, OS10.5 Leopard. I have recently had the black screen problem. It randomly turns black, with everything running in the background. The screen then returns to normal a few minutes later. It sometimes runs for hours without a problem, other times it will happen several times a day. The machine runs perfectly otherwise... would be great to fix it if possible.
So far I have tried the following:
- Opened the eMac and cleaned the interior of dust
- PRAM reset
- Replaced the battery (which was dying because the date would reset on unplugging).
Are there any other straightforward things I can try, or is this most probably a hardware failure and ultimately a write-off?
Any ideas appreciated.

For the Fetcher to show in Activity Monitor, you need to change AM's "Show" setting from its default of "My Processes" to "All Processes." The setting is in the top bar of the AM window:
Thus set, some other bandits might show up, too.
To neuter Top Sites so the Fetcher is not activated, go to Safari > Preferences and:
1) on the General tab, make sure no "open with" option is set to "Top Sites."
2) uncheck anything mentioning Top Sites in the Bookmarks tab.
3) go to "Reset Safari..." in the Safari menu and select the two boxes shown here:
then reset.
That procedure gets rid of a nuisance background process without deleting anything. You can restore Top Sites with a few mousclicks should you need it. On a PPC with limited RAM, I find Top Sites is not my friend.
Even when I upgraded to a hot quad-core i7 iMac, I still turned it off. It;s eye candy I don;t need.
Camino is more respectful of system resources than Safari in my experience.
