Hi guys. Just wanted to share/ask something here.

I had a problem with my monitor randomly losing signal and more consistently when playing games. Figured it was the gpu which was a 7870, 3 years age.

What I did

1. Made sure to update to latest driver. Problem still persisting.
2. Figured out to test solution with heaven benchmark. Works, usually before 1 loop the monitor will crash.
3. Played around with the OC, I did a small overclock last time, put it to the default asus oc, then default gpu oc. Problem still there. Restored to asus oc.
4. Used DDU to clean out drivers and installed 16.9.2. Seems to have worked. Ran heaven benchmark for about 30 minutes successfully.

Hopefully I have found the solution to my problem. Any of you guys with older cards have problems with the latest drivers?

I'll have to buy new hdmi cables to try it out. But it seems like changing the drivers is reducing the frequency of the problem for the moment.
