Hello guys, im new here
I have a Zotac GTX 960 4 GB that is been working nicely for almost 5 years now, but recently i started seeing my PC crash randomly while playing games (even DOTA) with the screen going to black or sometimes gray, and all i can do is turn it off.
The crash is so random, i've tried to underclock the card with MSI AB -100 MHZ core clock and also memory clock together, but to no avail.
Sometimes the screen flashes black screens and sound stops like its about to crash but it doesnt crash and goes back normal.
Temperatures are normal CPU runs at 60 degrees C when playing dota, and GPU doesnt cross 80C, it runs at 70C while playing dota.
The strange thing is that i run benchmarks and stress tests on the GPU, GPU temp goes up to 80C+ but pc doesnt crash whatsoever.
So i ran GPU-Z to log GPU sensors readings before my pc crash, and this is the last few lines from the log file ( PC crashed at 6:30 )
