I have a GTX 1070 which I had on my home PC. Since I had little time to game and wanted to try mining, i moved it to a pc at work where it mined for about 4 months.
Since ETH became much less profitable and now I have more time to game, I moved it back to my home pc where I gamed at 1080p for a while on my 4k TV. (desktop is at 1080p since 4k scaling really sucks). I wanted to try 4k for gaming, so I figured I should try Battlefront at 4k and see how it did.
That's where problems started. Upon switching resolutions the screen would either go black or show severe pixel corruption as if it was severely memory OC. I tried Fifa16 and SC2 with the same results. I switched the desktop to 4k and yup there was the pixel corruption. Switching back to 1080p and everything was fine.
Then I had the brilliant idea to try desktop resolutions between 1080p and 4k to see if only 4k was affected. So I started with 4k-pixel corruption, 1600p-pixel curruption, 1440p- pixel corruption, and finally 1080p PIXEL CORRUPTION.
From that moment on, no matter what resolution I choose, I get pixel corruption or blank screen.
So the easy answer is "you fool, you broke the card by mining". Well, no the card works perfectly on the pc at work at 1080p and under. (I don't have 4k at work)
Ok so then the OS is borked. Nope, I tried a new windows 10 with fall update and windows 7 installations on a separate drive. Exact same results.
Things I've tried.
Several Drivers on a fresh win 10 and win 7 installations. From 384.94 (the one I originally installed and worked) to the latest. They all fail.
Updated windows 10 to latest fall update. Same result
Tried different memory modules. Same result
Updated mobo bios. Same result
Tried a GT 630. Didn't work but little time to troubleshoot so WIP.
Tested on 2 PCs at work. Works like a charm. Didn't try games but tested with 3dmark and it works fine.
To do.
Switch PS
Further testing with the GT630
Different hdmi cable
Using a dvi-to-hdmi cable
Different hdmi port on TV
I have a core i7 920 and mobo I can use.
I think I have another ivy bridge mobo I can test.
Note that the PC does boot and won't freeze. It will even run games, it just either black screen or have pixel corruption.
