KNP54 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I've been plagued with Random Black Screen problem ever since I build my PC 4 years ago and about 1 year ago I've nailed down the problem to Corsair Link. Whenever Corsair Link is not running, I never have the Black Screen problem (ie, my monitors lose signal, USB devices stops responding but sound continues to play, and have to push reset). So every time a new version of Corsair Link comes out, I try it out and within a few minutes to a few hours I get a black screen. I've been active on the nVidia forum a while back when I was pulling the hair out of my head trying to diagnose the problem believing that the problem came from the video card (since when disabling TDR, instead of a black screen I would get a blue screen with Video_TDR_Failure), but I'm fairly certain that this problem only manifests itself on motherboard with the Intel X79-Express chipset when Corsair Link is running. (At that time, I had 5 people confirming that they had random black screens and their motherboards where X79 based (Asus Rampage IV series) and where running corsair link) Could you guys check into this? I like the looks of Corsair Link, but cannot use it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landerx74 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I was having the exact same issue when I had Corsair link running. I have an x79 system as well. Any solution that you found other than uninstalling or not running Corsair link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP54 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Sorry for the late response. The only solution I found is not running Corsair Link. You can leave it installed so that you can configure LEDs and/or change fan curves from time to time. When you're done, simply exit Corsair Link (from the system tray) I'm building a new PC soon (SSFF), but it won't have any link devices so I won't be able to test link anymore. I'm waiting for my case (louqe ghost S1, on order) and power supply (Corsair SF600 platinum, waiting to be available in Canada....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
