While gaming my 2 monitors go black with the no signal message and I hear the Windows disconnect sound like when you unplug an USB. The thing is that the sound of the game is still running and I am able to speak with my friends on TeamSpeak.
Here is the list of games where this happen:
- Counter Strike : Global Offensive
- Rust
- Crysis 3
- Rainbow Six : Siege
I can't ALT+TAB nor CTRL+ALT+DELETE
My setup:
- OS - Windows 10 Pro x64
- CPU - Intel i5-4690
- Mainboard - ASUSTeK MAXIMUS VII HERO
- GPU - ASUS GTX 780 STRIX
- RAM - 2x DDR3 4GB
- PSU - Corsair GS800W
- Storage - 250GB
- SSD - 1TB HDD
- Monitors - 1080p60hz(DVI) - 1440p 144hz(Display Port)
Here are the thing I tried out.
- Reinstall Windows
- Changed GPU to another PCI Slot
- Used older GPU Drivers
- Tried running on only 1 monitor
- After changing to an older Driver I let FurMark run for like 30 min with no crash
- Unplug monitor cable and plug it back while the screen is black
- Tried with a brand new GTX 980 and it still crashes
What kind of tests could I do to find what piece of hardware is causing this issue?
NOTE: My last GPU broke(not going over 10 FPS while gaming)

The problem was the power supply was causing my GPU to run out of power. This caused the monitors to disconnect from the GPU.
