x34 Intermittently Losing Signal

csokn

I just recently purchased my x34 and have been experiencing signal loss in multiple games, some worse then others. The screen will suddenly turn off, then turn back on again with the DisplayPort logo, and go back to everything being fine. This happens intermittently and seemingly randomly, and will sometimes turn off and back on 3-4 times before staying on for longer periods of time.

 

I am running on a 980 Ti that never had this problem with my prior monitor. I am using the included displayport cable that came with the monitor, so perhaps it is faulty. EDIT: I have now tried multiple displayport cables and have had the same result. I am running at 100hz. This even happens in Undertale, which is locked at 30fps.

 

Anyone else experiencing something like this or have a fix?

Please try running the monitor at 60hz (disable overclocking on the monitor OSD) and see if you get the same issue.

 

Once you try this, then turn on the overclocking, but try going up in Windows at 10hz increments, so test running at 70hz, then 80hz, then 90hz, and finally 100hz.

 

My guess is that you will find the signal issue happens either when you turn on overclocking as a whole, or when you go above a certain threshold such as 90hz.  It is not a guarantee that the monitor will be able to reach 100hz in all circumstances, due to slight deviations in the manufacturing and overclocking process monitor-to-monitor.
