RTX 3070 Signal Drops Randomly – Any Fixes?

[SAyub2]

Hi everyone,

I’m facing an issue with my RTX 3070 where the display signal randomly drops, especially when gaming or using GPU-intensive applications. The screen goes black for a few seconds and then comes back. Sometimes, I even have to restart my system to get the display back.

I've tried updating my GPU drivers, changing the display cable, and even tweaking some power settings, but the problem still persists. Could this be related to PSU power delivery, or is there any other fix I should try?

I mainly use my PC for gaming, and I’m looking for Box Skin Smooth Performance without these annoying display dropouts. Has anyone else faced this issue with an RTX 3070? Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome back to the Forum.

Is you PC shutting down when video is permanently lost?

Are you using DisplayPort (DP)? There is a problem with the Nvidia 572.60 driver over DP. Can you switch to HDMI?

Your problem looks like a hardware problem. What version of Windows are you using? W11, starting with version 22H2, has a quick in-place upgrade option using Windows Update.

Trying an in-place upgrade might fix the problem if W11 is badly corrupted.

Back up data before trying an in-place upgrade even though Microsoft states an in-place upgrade is non-destructive.

Try testing your PC's components using OCCT free version. OCCT might point you to the bad part.

You could test the RAM by trying one stick of RAM, one at a time, in each memory slot. You might have to swap in a new, compatible, stick of RAM.

You would then have to try a different graphics card and try a different power supply to isolate the cause.

You would then be looking at testing: the CPU and MB if the problem continues to happen after testing the RAM, trying a different graphics card, and trying a different power supply.
