And just to confirm, have you got any underclock or overclock on the gpu at all?Game ready driver
That’s really weird. I’d contact PCS first thing tomorrow, might be a hardware issue although it’s suggesting a software issue.Nothing on the gpu just the oc on the cpu which was via the oc profile file I downloaded from pcspecislist
Yeah, that definitely suggests somethings not right at a hardware level. It’s not an issue I’ve come across before so am a little stumped, usually with that error a reinstall will fix it.Yeh that was my thinking too. It’s just strange that the same problem has repeated with a clean windows install
thanks
No, just uninstall nvidia drivers with ddu after removing the card.That would mean another windows install before though right?
Oh, you should be able to boot from the windows installer and then run a system restore to before you installed the nvidia driver?But windows isn’t booting up?
It’s very easy to swap out, would save an awful lot of time rather than sending the whole thing back.So thankfully pcspecialist have confirmed that my gpu is still under manufacturers warranty. My options are to return the card and they will send out a replacement or alternatively return the entire pc and they will swap them out.
I’m wondering what people think my best option is? Swap the card out and hope that was the cause of the problems or send the pc back?
Yeah, I get where you're coming from... I guess they could send replacement card next day shipping, you could have conclusive troubleshooting either way same day, they're open til 8 that night so even if worse came to worse and that didn't sort it, you could still ship the PC then next day for them to fix, so you'd only lose 2 days.I can change the card over, I was thinking more that they could identify the problem if the gpu swap didn’t fix the crashes.
I agree it certainly is a lot less hassle to just return the gpu.
The ultimate GPU stress test is furmark, this basically torture tests the GPU and if the PC shutsdown or reboots, you know you have an issue:Yeh I agree. I’ll get a replacement gpu first.
Is there any particular stress test you’d recommend for me to test it thoroughly with? The faults only ever occurred when gaming or loading up a game so that’s easy enough to check but hoping there’s something a little more conclusive.
Thanks
