I'm posting this here because I don't know if it's a problem with my VGA, or something else but it's annoying and a bit alarming:
Occasionally (like maybe somewhere between once every one to three days), my screen goes dark like the system was going into sleep mode and the fan on my GPU revs up to full speed and will not stop. I cannot recover from the display loss with keystrokes or mouse movements, so the whole system ends up needing to be rebooted.
I worry because I leave my computer on all the time and it happened today while I was not home... so who knows how long that fan was screaming. Don't want to damage anything.
I can't isolate any type of activity that causes it to happen.. I can say that each time it's happened when I was around, I could hear a brief click on my UPS (like a momentary power loss), but my old system never had a problem with that sort of thing. Although I do think the UPS is probably woefully underpowered for my new setup (350volt-amps, ~210 watts capacity... ugh).
I'm not happy about the prospect of replacing things like the UPS/PSU, etc. without having a clue what the problem is.
Anyone seen this sort of thing?
See the drop down for my system specs.
Thanks
