Hey, My 980ti is behaving weirdly. When playing Apex on lowest settings every 2-4sec i get a frozen frame for about 0.5 sec. Afterburner is also reporting wierd stuff, the GPU usage is bouncing between 99% and ~50%. When playing Trackmainia I also pinned my GPU at 99% without having that behavior... Earlier today i had a bluescreen, sadly i havent noted down the exact error message, it had something to do with "video", but i know this isnt really helpful. The behavior is visible in the attached image, in the yellow marked time frame i just booted up apex and got on the firing range on lowest settings. Lately it even got worse, my PC is randomly crashin on boot and i have funny artifacts on screen. When playing games i randomly get black screens or freezing for a few seconds. Please help, i really can't afford a new GPU Other Components: i7 6700K @4GHz MSI Z170A GAMING M5 32GB DDR4-2800 be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER 10 CM 700 W DxDiag.txt

As far as i can see the cpu really was the culpit. Removed the Overclock two Days ago Days and no more crashes, Everything works fine now. Thank you very very much.

I would never thought the cpu might be the culpit. I might still have it overclocked, so thats a really good tip thanks. And gonna install Afterbruner right away.

Hey Guys, I am another one of those unfortunate enough to (apperently) have their GPU currently dying. After playing "more intensive" Games like DS3 for 2-3 hours i get a frozen system for about a minute, followed by a glitched screen and some error sounds. Game chrashes of course included. Temps looking good, adjusted the fan cuve to hit at max 60°C. I'm now trying underclocking but i dont have that much hope. So finally for the question. Do you know any free monitoring tools and tricks to just get that bit more of time to be able to survive the shortage or to find out if it even is the GPU which is causing the problem? I'll gladly provide screens and logs when wanted and possible.

If it is as awesome as it looks, it would give a great expirience in a livingroom or so. I'd really like to test it out myself!
