Hi,
Whenever i start up my computer it runs good for about 30seconds but then very randomly all of my display shuts off and i have to restart. When i restart my display doesn't even come on. Could this be a Video card, motherboard or screen problem.



Thx

How long have you been useing your power supply and how many amps does it have. You need to make sure that your two Nvidia Cards are getting the power they need cause if their not then you won't see anything on your screen.:)

Also maybe your cards are not seated in all the way or some dust acumulation, did you check for simple solution as these.

This just started happening about 2 days ago. I took out both of my cards and blew away some dust and then put them back in and still had the same problem. I am assuming that my power supply is 56.6AMPS. I have been using the power supply for about 6months.

Try booting with One GPU card only, if problem re-occurs try the other card.
