  1. Are we wining La Liga this season?

  2. Specs: Ryzen 5 5600x MSI GTX 1660 Super Ventus XS OC MSI b550i mpg gaming edge wifi 2x8GB Kingston Fury 3200Mhz Corsair RM650 PSU 3x LianLi SL120 1x Arctis 120mm fan I recently installed Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy on my PC and as I was just completing the prologue, the game froze. I tried to get into the task manager but to no avail since my whole PC was frozen. Ultimately my system gave me a BSOD citing "Video TDR failure" After trying to boot my PC multiple times, I wouldn't load into windows. I would get the POST screen but never reach my desktop, although my PC was running since I could hear USB plug in plug out sounds. Tried Ctrl + Win + Shift + B multiple times but it would ultimately give me "Video TDR failure". I went into Safe Mode and DDU'd the graphics driver. When I went on to install new graphics drivers in normal mode, the installer would reach the 30% mark and the screen would start flickering, it would go black and never come back although my computer was still on. After that I tried multiple things: -Installed new windows but same issue when trying to install graphics driver -Had a spare SSD at hand, replaced my current boot drive with that and installed windows but still same issue while installing graphics driver. -Removed other storage drives and tried to boot from a single SSD but still the same error. -Reseated GPU & RAM multiple times -Tried Different cable -Power cycled the whole PC -Checked windows Logs but nothing Nvidia related came up although there was something was some errors with "KERNELBASE.dll" My Processor doesnt have an integrated GPU so I can't boot directly by plugging in the motherboard. I can easily go into Safe Mode and Normal mode too, but the moment I'm installing the graphics driver. Black Screen -> BSOD -> Reboot and the cycle continues. Another strange thing that I noticed was the moment I connected to Wi-Fi/ethernet, the system would automatically detect GPU drivers and back to the same cycle : Black Screen -> BSOD -> Reboot. Mind you this is with fresh windows installation with absolutely nothing. I plan on plugging my system to a different monitor but I doubt that'll do me any good. Can this be a faulty fan controller or a faulty ram? If that'd be the case, why is my PC working fine in Safe Mode but the moment I install graphics drivers, it goes into an endless loop of BSOD.

  3. There's nothing like "GPU Memory Junction Temperature" in HWiNFO since my GPU doesn't have a VRAM temperature sensor. As far as the thickness of the thermal pad, I'm yet to find the exact measurement of thermal pad for my model of the GPU
  4. I've got MSI GTX 1660 6GB Super Ventus XS OC. I recently did a thermal paste repaste whilst also replacing the thermal pads on the VRAM. The factory thermal pads were all worn out so I decided to replace them with my own. Originally the VRAM thermal pads were of 2.0mm thickness but all I had was 1.5mm pads so I replaced the older ones with them. For the thermal paste, I've used Gelid GC Extreme. Got the thermal pads of Amazon. My temps under full load have dropped drastically, from 83°C to 75°C but I'm left wondering if the incorrect thermal pad size might lead to air gaps between the heatsink affecting VRAM temperatures negatively. I've tried both GPU-Z and HwInfo64 but there's no thermal sensor on the VRAM so I can't check their temperature. Is there an alternative way to check if my VRAM is overheating?

  5. Yes I know. The person who gave me this explained that the card probably died due to overheating when he applied some cheap quality thermal paste. The card booted up nicely and then went to a black screen half an hour later while he was in a game. Was wondering if baking the card is the only possible solution to get it running for a few weeks.
  6. I received a USED GTX 760 which has a black screen issue. Graphics card fans are working completely fine. The monitor detects output but is always stuck on a black screen with the keyboard mouse blinking for a second and turning off right away. What could the possible issue here? I tested the card on my Benchmark system which actually runs perperfectly fine. Specs : I5 4690K 8GB DDR3 1600mhz WD 1TB 7200rpm Strix GTX 960 4gb ( Swapped in 760, and I got this issue) PSU: ANTEC VP450P
