My current build is :
Gigabyte Z170X-Ultra Gaming motherboard.
Intel i7 6700K
Corsair LPX 32GB 3200Mhz DDR4 RAM
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 OC Low Profile 2GB (GV-N1050OC-2GL)
My OS is currently running Mac OS X Sierra - 10.12.5 with iMac 17,1 definition.
Using LILU (1.1.5) and NvidiaGraphicsFixup (1.1.2) and AppleALC (1.1.2)
Updated Clover to 2.4k 4259
BIOS - Disable Integrated graphics - Set PEG as Primary.
Everything runs smooth on this machine, no problems except this one.
Only this problem related to one of the displays, or both of them goes suddenly blank and comes back on. RANDOMLY.. This happens mostly when working in Illustrator, and or Photoshop but sometimes just in Finder or Chrome, too.
Completely random.
I have recorded what happens here in this video :
The left display is a 27" Dell Ultrasharp connected with DP to DVI on the GTX card.
The right display is a 24" Dell Ultrasharp connected with DP to DP on the GTX card.
I have tried the HDMI connection also on both displays, it doesn't change anything. This randomly blank issues happens no matter what. Mostly (I think), when doing something releated to using the GPU.
Has anyone encounter this?
Some help would be much appreciated.
BTW, I built 2 of these machines exactly the same. But the other one has a GTX 1050 Ti(GV-N105TWF20C-4GD) card which has 4GB in RAM. That machine does not have this issue. Only this GTX 1050(GV-N1050OC-2GL) with 2GB RAM.
Same OS, same drivers. Same Clover config.
BTW, this machine never goes into sleep. The Displays goes into sleep after 10min, but the machine itself no.
Could this be VBIOS bug?

2. Nvidia Source BIOS Version : 86.07.39.00.8A
3. Base/Boost: 1366/1468Mhz
4. TGP: 75W
6. Increase Stability
7. For F1~F3 BIOS FLASH
This problem looks just like these :
