UPDATE: Chnaged the thermal paste and the situation improced a bit, now it handled more than two minutes in FurMark at sock power limit, voltages and clocks. It seems to be a thermal issue bu the temps look fine

Hello! I created this thread because I'm very desperate. Issue description: When under load(FurMark, Minecraft with shaders, AIDA64) the GPU crashes to a solid color, the system does not restart, the display shows a color(orange, blue, brown) and that's it. I managed to recover it back a couple of times by sending an alt-f4 through and clicking on where the colse window button was in VNC without restaring the pc. Setting the power limit lower in afterburner would increase the time it takes to crash. Context: I've got the gpu second hand, (crashed first time under load) I first used with a budget Inter-Tech EPS 750W CM power supply that has it's 12V split into four 20A rails. Ive talked to a tech representative and he did not recommend this PSU for the gpu. That model has a cross-load design issue. At first I was thinking about some form of protection trigger becaus the power supply would use a single rail to power the gpu, so I set the power limit lower, and it still crashed. I got a Seasonic focus GX-750 power supply. It seems that the Focus Plus had an easy to trip OCP issue LINK but I did not find any abou the plain focus model. It does not dip to 0% befor crash. just a colored screen. I suspect the Inter-Tech might have hurt it. I have a MSI R9 270X that now it shows artefacts after an oc attempt. Before any OC,when playing Battlefield 4, the gpu crashed from time to time to desktop with a yellow triangle notification that said something about the graphics or display something.. I don;t remember, it was a while ago, SPECS: CPU: i5 3570K MOBO: MSI B75A-G43 GPU: ASUS STRIX 1080 Ti RAM: 2*4GB ZEPPELIN(1600 MHz) + 2*8 HYPERX (1600 MHz) STORAGE: KINGSTON A400 240 GB (OS) and 480 GB for other stuff Thank you!
