  1. Will do. Thanks for taking the time to try to help me.
  2. Turns out I was mistaken. It's actually a 650W unit. Heres the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYGFRL6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 I was so sure that I picked the 750W model but I guess I didn't. 650W should still be enough especially considering the quality of the PSU but I would understand if it wasn't since I have a lot of fans and storage drives hooked up to it. I do have a 750W CX750M on another PC so I guess I'll try to swap them and see what happens. Now that I think about it, the PSU seems like the most likely culprit to me so far because if the GPU truly was dying, there would be signs of some sort of progression of the problem but that isn't really the case. The freezing still happens as frequently as when it first started and there hasn't been much change in the overall behavior of the PC since the problem started 3 months ago or so. I'll swap the PSUs and report back if the problem occurs again. Thanks again.
  3. That would actually make sense since the model of my GPU is actually one of the lower end ones. As for the PSU, I've got a 750w unit which should be plenty and I've already tried re-installing drivers to no avail. I'll look into the VRAM next I guess. Thanks.
  4. Yes, I've tried different slots but they all yielded the same results unfortunately so cleaning them probably won't do much. Thanks anyway.
  5. Something weird keeps happening while playing games and I don't know what the issue is exactly. I'd be in a game and the screen would randomly freeze up and display these weird colors and shapes after which the game would CTD or the whole PC would be frozen and would need to be restarted (images attached below). The weirdest thing about this whole problem is that if I unplug and replug the GPU back into the PCI socket, the problem could go away for a few weeks then pop right back up eventually. Troubleshooting is also kind of hard to do since this problem happens randomly and not very frequently but I've been able to take a few pics of the freezes with my phone for reference. It's also worth mentioning that the audio sometimes bugs out along with the video but not all the time. This is a newer computer that I built a year ago and I'm kind of worried about the fact that its giving me issues this early in its life, especially considering the specs which are: i7 8700k GTX 1080ti 16GB RAM OS is installed on an SSD while games are on a HDD I hope the problem isn't a straight up faulty GPU because I'm not currently living in the country I bought it from so returning it is not really an option. I hope you guys can help me out.
