Hi, I have a 7 year old system that's been my daily driver, that I built myself.
My main computer Specs are as follows: Asrock X370 Gaming k4 Ryzen 7 1700x Processor Msi GTX 1080 Gaming X 32 GB Corsair vengeance ddr4 ram 1 TB nvme ssd 650 watt antec psu (earthwatts gold, if im not wrong).
The following is what I tried and what the results were:
Put the PSU, The GPU, on another motherboard. The computer booted fine, and stayed like this for a while but then shutdown with BSOD error video tdr failure, nvlddmkm.sys failed. Immediately turning it back own threw error code 62. Waited for a while then I turned it back on and windows successfully loaded, I then used msi afterburner to undervolt the card, and it worked fine, I could even use furmark.
Started my main PCs (the one with the issue) without the GPU and it started fine. Since the 1700x doesn't have display capability, I used Ms remote desktop to login and it was working fine.
I put my GPU that was lying idle for a while back in my main computer, and it worked for a bit before giving the video tdr error again.
I again waited for a while till the card was cold to the touch. It again started normally but crashed as soon as I ran furmark (the card wasn't under locked here)
So my main question is that could this be a thermal issue only? Or is my card failing? I have used this computer everyday since 2017. And have not made any changes to it either.
