So I've got a EVGA 260gtx black, it's in my Core 2 quad desktop.
The fan quit a few months back so, lol, I TAPED a sizable fan over the old one and plugged it in and the temps are about the same.
Regardless, I've got two screens connected to each port on the card. Recently, i've been pulling my main screen and inserting an HDMI to DVI adapter to watch movies and shows I have downloaded on my screen. Now each show/movie plays perfectly on each one of my screens. But once I connect my 50'' Panasonic Plasma it will work great for about 10 minutes and then turn black. By this point my other screen that is still connected is turned off by me. I'm in bed watching Top Gear and the damn thing turns black.
I figured that the computer went to sleep. Nope, That wasn't it.
Then I pulled the card and reseated it. Nope.
Then I used a different HDMI and adapter and that even wasn't the problem. Now i've actually run this exact setup on a different mobo. (Same card/TV) I used that combo about 2 years ago or whenever the 260 came out and it was fine.
For some reason it's acting up. My drivers are up to date and i'm a little baffled. Is my card overheating or something?? It's obnoxious watching on a damn 22'' when i'm all the way across the room.
Any ideas? Please don't automatically blame it on the jerry rigged fan? It pushes two screens without issue very often with various youtube and whatnot.... Both normal LCD's don't ever give me any trouble either.
