Recently I purchased Dead by Daylight, but about 80% of the time when I enter a match my PC crashes and GPU fans become very loud; I then have to power off my PC at the button. I updated drivers and such and it still happens, so. I ran Furmark and within about 10 seconds my PC crashes and the GPU fans become very loud (Identical to Dead by Daylight) and I have to force the power off. So, I recently upgraded my GPU from an old HD 7970 as that had seemingly died (maybe PSU caused the problem instead) So I can only assume that it is not the new GPU. What I think is happening is the GPU is drawing too much power and PSU is shutting itself off. Is there any way to test if this is case and not another problem? And is it safe for me to play less demanding games such as CSGO? As I only noticed this has been happening since I played Dead by Daylight? (a more demanding game) I ran FPS benchmarks on CSGO (High FPS) and Assassins Creed Origins (Demanding game) and neither had any problems. I am not sure if it is just the way Dead by Daylight runs, and that it draws a lot of power in a sudden burst like Furmark? I also checked CPU voltages and they are fine too.

I have a AMD Athlon 200GE, ASUS Prime A320M-K AM4, Seasonic S12II 520 Watts 80 plus bronze, 8gb ddr4 2400 mhz Kingston, 1TB WD Caviar Blue 7200 RPM, Nvidia GTX 1050 ASUS Cerberus OC 2GB GDDR5 128 bits, Cooler Stock. I have a tried four times furmark, 100 % GPU load, for 15 and 20 minutes, in total 1 hour of test for my gpu, two times last year and two times this year, i no have black screen, artifacts and never rare in common aplications and games. I have problems with the witcher 3 in some areas, for example the robes o clothes glitches, and scenaries, i play the game with reloaded version, in other pc with gtx 1050 ti rog strix i have the same problems with this game. Counter Global Offensive all OK Left 4 dead 2 all OK Tomb Raider Legend I have any problems last years, after two times furmark GTA V all OK Detroit Become Human all OK Venus Vacation Dead or Alive all OK Street Fighter V all OK Dead or Alive 5 all OK Fallout 4 i have many problems, with freezing screen and other fails, but the same with two pc Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 the same how Fallout 4 Skyrim the same how Fallout 4 Oblivion, Morrowind all OK Bordelands all OK Age of Mithology all OK Starcraft II all OK Dragon Dogma All OK Assassins Creed IV i have any glitches with pyrate version, and i have not any glitches with the original version My temps are: CPU: Idle (35 º C); Full Load (45 º C, in Winter), (50 º C in summer) GPU: Idle (24 º C, in Winter), (30 º C in summer), Full Load (64 º C in Winter), (70 º C in summer) Mobo: Idle (35 º C); Full Load: (40 º C) The gpu have one years, since buy in July 2019, I used for 8 months my pc, i never tried overclock for the gpu. I have other gpus for example, r7 360 2gb gddr5 128 bits oc asus dual, i have 83 º C in full load with Rise of Tomb Raider. My gpu was reduced her life span???, for realize test Furmark, i heard old forums with Nvidia GTX 275, or models from 2010, have problems with Furmark, The models pascal or turing have problems with this heavy load.

Ok so i saw a lot of people on a forum or facebook group who got their GPU killed after running furmark. I knew that furmark really pushes our GPU beyond their limit by putting unnecessary ridiculously demanding workloads. For some reason, Most people who sell USED GPU or 2ND Like New GPU test their Graphics Card with furmark in order to confirm its condition IN HERE. (I know its ridiculous for me at least) If its pass then the graphics card is in a good condition but if its fail or just getting too hot they will not sell it, They didn't even bother to change the paste. So if furmark is a dangerous software why does it exist and why people use it?

About how long should I run furmark after OC'ing the GPU with msi afterburner? Also are there any other test I should run to ensure stability?

Is it necessary to stress test your cpu and gpu after building a new pc? if yes, how long should you test each respectively?

Hello! I have problem with my AMD radeon 7970 GPU. Every time when i try to test my gpu with furmark for 5-10 mins and i click on X button (closing furmark) my pc freezes. No Bluescreen, just simple freeze.. and it's happen when i playing games like PUBG, opening doors, checking inventory, goin to settings menu, so every time when GPU is on high load and the screen changing fast. Temps okay: Its hit 70celsius on 100%load with a accelero xtreme 280x cooler. What i tried: Software: Tested on win7 Tested on win8.1 Tested on win10 Tested with AMD official driver Tested with windows installed driver Tested with the original GPU bios because i noticed somebody installed another one. Tested with Upgraded Mobo bios Tried to get some info from Windows event viewer but its show nothing happened. Hardware: Tested with other RAMs Tested on Cheftec APS650SB and Corsair cx600 PSU Tested with a HD7870 GPU and with this gpu everything was fine. Tested in a another PC, i has the same problem. My PC: CPU: FX8350 GPU: AMD Radeon 7970 RAM: 2x 8gb Hyperx Fury 1600mhz MOBO: Asrock 980DE3/U3S3 with 2.0 bios PSU: Corsair CX600 I have no idea whats the problem with my GPU, pls help my find out. (Any tip can help) Thanks for the answers and sorry for my bad english.

What do these two settings in furmark mean? I'm afraid to turn them on and see what they do because of the name

Furmark is only using one of two gpus I have my 2nd graphics card is sitting at 19 degrees doing nothing while the other is at 70

Stats from a 5minute stress for only the GPU. Was wondering if someone could tell me if the small variations showing on the graphs indicate some sort of throttling or not reaching full performance. The comp is only 1 month old. I don't think I've OC'd it or anything. Edit: The GPU doesn't maintain 99% (95%-8) utilization when running Prime95. Bad? Air cooled Asus Strixx GTX 1070 Ryzen 5 1600X Win8.1 x64 Gigabyte motherboard ITX form factor (S Define Nano) Let me know if more info is needed. Thanks Side question: my NVMe drive gets to like 59c (19c ambient air temp) while running WoW off of it. Is that an issue, either for the drive longevity or in terms of temps?

Weird GPU display issues (Help please) I have been having peculiar issues with getting no display from my GPU for just over a month now. I have tried the following with various results -Cleaning GPU (Worked a few times but hard to tell if it is just coincidental) -Reseat GPU (Worked a few times but again, could be coincidental) -Reseat ram (Worked, could be coincidental) -Uninstalled/Updated/Rolled back Drivers (Worked but could be coincidental) -Updated BIOS (did not work) -Only putting the PC in sleep mode (this worked for a entire day but then began the cycle of no display again) I am so lost, it used to work when I changed to HDMI but then back to DP strangely, and it also used to work if I unplugged all the USB's devices (could be coincidental or maybe it is a PSU issue) It would display when plugged in from the MOBO mostly, but not 100% of the time; Only one fan spins on startup, don't think it is a feature as the GPU is a HD 7970 and I am pretty sure they don't have this feature and not only that, the other fan begins the to spin then stops when booting, and I have ran Furmark and the GPU handles it pretty well. I am so lost and just want this fixed. It could be anything, I am thinking GPU or PSU, but could be MOBO. Help please, I'm desperate guys.

Hello. It all started when I installed Windows 10. First time Witcher 3 just froze and these GPU access blocked notifications appeared. I overclocked my GPU a while back so I just turned down everything to stock values. Then the game froze after like 40 minutes of playing showing grid of rainbow squares all over the screen. It crashed Witcher 3 one more time and now I played Garry's Mod and it crashed the same way. Tested it with Furmark for a while but I was scared because temps were going higher than they did last time I did Furmark test. Is there any fix for this? I guess I should get some money for new GPU, huh?

While using my pc for everyday use it runs smoothly as usual. But while gaming it sometimes lags and suffer from a huge fps drop, even though it was running well for few minutes. So I restarted and it worked for a while then returned, and did same when updated gpu drivers. I then decided to get an ssd and switch to windows 10 and all ran great with new drivers, until it started doing it again. So it's surely not the OS or other software issue. Sometimes it would just have the fps drop and glitchy sound with it as if the whole system is affected then I be able to exit the game and it still lags on desktop without any app running. And some of those times the pc either restart by itself or go to a blue screen. Other times it just freeze while still having the glitchy sounds if I had something on from before. This problem is usually hard to test since sometimes it work ok and other time it fails it. Games I had this issue while using where CS GO, Bioshock, and Cod4. (I only played these so its not from them). And I was monitoring gpu power, temperature, usage, fan speed, core clocks, and cpu temps and usage. and it's not a temperature problem either. I tried running furmark once but it worked fine even when gpu load and power were high a temperature was a bit high too. And another attempt on a later day it did crash. So here are some pictures showing readings I was able to take: NOTE: the readings on top of furmark are in the same order as the bold text above. -In the video you can see how readings are normal at times and then goes crazy for no reason. -One picture is showing where it was stuck on 1 fps, and note that when I took the picture the time was not moving as if the whole pc clock is still. -The other picture shows the afterburner readings from another time. This one I was able to close furmark and go to desktop and it was still stuttering and not responsive. You can see how clock speed and gpu usage are stuck on maximum values, I restarted afterburner and still same hence the minimum values are same as max so you can ignore the min reading. So that is basically it. Sorry if it was long but I tried to cover every important detail as possible. Does this mean the problem is from the graphics card ? Is it "dying" ? I don't have other hardware to test where the issue is from. I appreciate every help you can give. And try not to assume things and give information you are sure of. bad readings.mp4 [EDIT] System CPUintel i5 3570k Motherboardgigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H RAM8GB Corsair xms3 GPUGalaxy GTX670 4GB Storage1TB WDblack, Kingston UV400 240 GB ssd PSUAntec high current gamer 620M Display(s)Samsung S23B300B Coolingintel stock cooler Operating SystemWindows 10 pro x64

So, I have my GTX 960 clocked to 1550mhz and tested it by running fallout 4 for 5 hours with zero issues. Max temp I've seen is 56c. However I later tried running furmark and got a near immediate driver crash. knocked it down to 1510mhz and same thing, 1480mhz same thing. The card boosts up to 1436mhz on it's own which works fine in furmark, but applying any amount of overclock leads to crashes in furmark even though I see no issues in games. Any ideas what could be the cause?

Hello everyone. First of all, this is my system: AMD FX-6350 @ 4.6Ghz MSI 970 Gaming 2x 8GB Kingston Hyperx 1866Mhz Cooler Master Nepton 240m Cooler Master G750m Gigabyte R9 380 G1 Gaming 4GB I could use some help here. My graphics card is not running as it should. It should have a core clock of 990Mhz but when I run Furmark it never hits that. it just hovers between 770 en 860. During Valley the core happily jumped between low 700 and 920ish with min fps 9 avg fps 39.5 max fps 76.1 Me thinking this is some problem with the voltage or anything, I tinkered with all possible options in AfterBurner but whatever I try, it stays about the same. I can overclock the Memory to around 1500 no problem. I also tried putting the card in another PCIE slot and another 8pin power. Again, no difference I RMA'ed the card but the shop says the card is being bottlenecked bt my CPU but somehow I have a hard time believing this as my FX-6350 seems like a quite capable CPU (Welcome haters and fanboys). So I ask for you guys opinion. Is my card being bottlenecked or is it just bullshit from the shop? Attached are the AfterBurner logs from both FurMark and Heaven. Thanks in advance, MiauwMaster

I had this problem for a while after I installed Windows 10. When I game, usually Source games (CS:GO, TF2), my APU gets really, really hot, to the point where my computer just freezes in the middle of a game. However, when I use a stress test overnight, like FurMark and OCCT, it does not reach alarming temperatures and does not freeze. I do not use the GPU in my APU when I game, I have a new graphics card, so I have no idea why it heats up this much. Please help, it is interfering with my matches. EDIT: Forgot to mention that when gaming, my APU doesn't even use 100% load both GPU and CPU wise.

So I was testing my GPU using Furmark and most of the time I was using 1080p with 4xMSAA and NO fullscreen. Doing that test, my GPU goes to max voltage and max clock speeds and use quite a bit of power (around 85%~95%). With that, I get around 17fps to 18fps. I was curious today and I tried 3840x2160 with 4xMSAA and NO fullscreen and even with this test, everything goes to the max on my card, but I still somehow get around 16 to 17 fps? Why is this? I don't think Furmark is properly changing the resolution... Also something as a side note: if I change the resolution to 720p or even 1080p but with NO AA, the voltage doesn't even max out and my clock speeds bounce around constantly (around 1260MHZ instead of the steady OC of 1420MHZ). However, I've noticed that even though the voltage and clocks weren't maxed, the power was consistently higher than if it was 1080p 4xMSAA. It's jumping around 98%~110%! Can someone please explain these phenomenons? Thank you very much.

Hello I upgraded my PC case a week ago to DeepCool Tesseract windowed. But I noticed that these cases had only back fan's and no front panel fans. Today I was testing my temps and some slight OC'ing. I am using default fan speed curve. So I have 2 questions about these results: How likely will front fan lower the GPU temp or at least the fan speed. Because on full load it ramps up to 78% fan speed. Why OC'ing my GPU resulted in lower fps and lower score? And it's not like it's in the margin of error. -> 52 fps/6767p vs 43 fps/5608 is a big difference

Just downloaded furmark and runned it, i got an error "TDR Detected" I overclocked the card just a few moments before running the rest and got that error 150+ coreclock 500 + memoryclock What could cause this problem? Had a similar problem when i was overclocking the card got ALLOT of artifacts in the witcher (the artifacts dissapered when i turned of the OC) is my card dying?

Hello, fellow enthusiasts. I hope you're doing well. My system keeps crashing when I play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with AMD Gaming Evolved enabled. I'm forced to CTRL+ALT+DEL my system and shut down the game process. If AMD Gaming Evolved is not running, though, I manage to get a rock solid experience with the aforementioned game. CS:GO is a game that Raptr has certified as being compatible with its in-game overlay, but it's far from being usable since it keeps crashing my game. My system can withstand a 24-hour stress test running FurMark and Prime95 simultaneously, but sometimes it takes just 10 minutes before my CS:GO hopelessly crashes. Here's what I have tried: a) I've tried using Catalyst 14.12 instead of 15.7. It in fact explicitly installs an extra package of stuff meant for AMD APP and video capture that doesn't show up on 15.7's setup. I've read on OBS forums that the removal of that made Raprt issue a patch since theirs and every other software that relied on AMD APP for gaming capture started to have problems with 15.7. Nothing changed. B) I've tried using only Plays.TV's beta client (even though it looks like it's almost completely integrated inside AMD Gaming Evolved). I thought it could be a problem with the Raptr-Plays.TV hook up, but Plays.TV's own standalone software behaved in the exact same fashion. c) I've tried using Mirillis Action as an alternative. It worked flawlessly as it managed to record a 12-hour GOTV broadcasting session without crashing. It only stopped and closed the game because it hit the 12-hour mark (and I can't choose more than that for the maximum video duration, at least not in the trial version). Except for that weird behaviour (since I expected it to just shut down the video capture without closing the game), it worked well: it managed to actually capture 60fps on the 1080p, full quality setting, something that AMD Gaming Evolved / Raptr / Plays.TV was failing to achieve regardless of crashing. But there are two main issues: Mirillis Action is not free software and the performance hit was huge, way beyond the supposed 10% of an AMD APP recording solution. d) I've tried even underclocking the card to the reference design clocks, since this Sapphire Dual-X is a slightly factory-overclocked card. Nothing changed. e) This is the second motherboard I'm using while having the very same problem. I've changed it because somebody I know wanted an LGA 1150 system and I took the opportunity to make a deal and get a more well-featured motherboard, but the problem persisted. The first motherboard was an ASUS H81M-A/BR. Sapphire's Technical Support told me this: But I'm not sure my retailer's technical support will be able to reproduce the issue, since it might be kind of software (driver) related. I'd love to find an easy, replicable way of determining it's a hardware issue that involves only free software/games and that I could instruct my retailer's RMA department to reproduce, otherwise they'll just send me the very same card back if they're unable to determine it's a hardware issue. I'm yet to try playing a different game for longer than the 2 hours I've spent with Diablo III, since I remember playing CS:GO for longer than 3 hours with no crashes. If I manage to get a crash in a different game, that will be a huge thing in this troubleshooting process. Any good F2P game suggestions other than Team Fortress 2 and DOTA 2 (which are both Source Engine-based just like CS:GO) and League of Legends (which I just can't stand) that I could use for this troubleshooting process are welcome. Do you guys think I should try "extreme" things like flashing the motherboard and/or video card BIOS in case any updates are available? Any other ideas? P.S.: In case you're wondering why I'm not using a Dual Channel Kit, it wasn't available at the time of my purchase and due to an online discounted offer I could not purchase 2 of the same modules (it was a one-item-per-customer kind of deal), so I was forced to purchase different heatsink colors for the same module. I took the risk and decided that if MEMTEST86+ failed I'd return the modules and wait for a Dual Channel Kit, but that didn't happen and I happily enjoyed the discounted price for a couple of cool, different-colored versions of the same memory module. Thanks for your valuable time.

Hi guys. I recently bought a 780Ti and started to OC to see how lucky i got. Went through some hoops till i learned how to do it right and found the highest stable OC. I ran furmark to make sure its was stable enough with the current OC (had a higher clock previously and finished a haven benchmark but it crashed several minutes later) and it ran for 10 minutes without crashing or any artifacts (i assume it is safe to say that if it was stable in furmark it will be during gaming) BUT i notice that even though memory clock was stable, temps were set to 70 (MSI afterburner) and the fans was at 45% (its on auto) the core started to throttle hard (like half of when i started) for some reason. Temps can't be the reason since there was still 55% left for the fan to go. The reading was confirmed in GPU-Z so it wasn't a furmark mistake. I know vram temps aren't monitored. Could it be that those were getting hot even though the core was at 70 degrees C with plenty of fan headroom? Wierder part is that even with the throttling the average fps wasn't dropping. Maybe both gpu-z and furmark were reading it wrong do to furmark stressing the card? EDIT: Small side question. Is the core frequency reader in Unigin Valley and Heaven benchmarks reliable? it was showing quite a bit more that the boost in gpu-z.

Hi Guys, I recently tried overclocking my graphics card, gradually increasing the core clock and memory. In order to test for stability I was using Furmark. I got to a level where there was no artifacting, and would run stably for hours (I tested for 4 hours, it was running at about 20fps, max temps were 76 degrees C). Anyway, I noticed when this was happening that my GPU was not boosting at all, the core clock was stuck at 979mhz, and would stay there no matter what. Having decided that my overclock was stable, I continued to start playing some games. However, they all crashed after about 10 minutes of game time. As such I have backed off my overclock, and it is all stable now, but it makes me question how effective Furmark is as a stability test, and what I should use in future.
