All the GTX 295 are dual GPU... He asked Dual PCB or Single PCB.Hi the only way i can get windows to come back on the screen is to reboot the pc,The screen just goes black then monitor goes in standby so no choice but to reboot,the monitor is a fujitsu siemens amilo 22" hdmi 1080p the graphics card is dual gpu gtx 295.

Or

Sorry its a single pcb and i got the same problems with windows 7 so its nothing to do with the os
Hi
Water cooled GPU temps are good around 50 degrees max with full load
Have not used any other monitor this monitor is on hdmi Connection
this is a dual loop system all so cooling the motherboard chipset and cpu and ddr
so theres 2 pumps running in it as well 12v pumps
thank you
The rig has been set up for a while at least 18months and this has been happening on and of for the last 5 months since i have been playing games more ,i was using windows 7 but changed to windows xp because i was getting a error call loss of kernel power this post gives a idea on that

I have not had that problem with xp but i was leaning towards a slight fault in my psu that's
what i thought it might be but i checked back here to get a idea as there is some good advice here.
I will try what you suggest and see what happens in the next few days thanks
It could be PSU related, but your unit is a quality power supply. It could be a rare bad unit but I'd gamble that the hdmi cable or monitor is the cause before that unit. But that is another thing to look into, if you get nowhere with the suggestions before, try another power supply instead.
Hi i checked the monitor and changed the cables it still does the same thing on some games but i did notice something else when the screen went black and then into standby the sound just went in loops so it was a black screen with this sound just thumping on i just had to restart it by hand again.
I am in the clear with monitor i am just baffled now i think i must have a fault in my hardware as it will only play some games.
