Crashing Woes

[magmagon]

Recently I got myself a MSI RX 480 Gaming X 4G off ebay for $100 and I've been savoring it ever since.

 

I know that the RX 480 is a hot card, and the fans ramping up every time I open a game is a very audible reminder, but....

Sometimes, my monitors suddenly turn off, the last second of audio loops over and over, and the graphics card's fan ramps to 100%, requiring me to do a hard reset. So maybe I got a bad card, or the thermal paste is all crusty and needs replacement (with the amount of ex-mining cards on ebay, I wouldn't be surprised).

 

However, this only happens in one game. I can play Cities Skylines, TS2018, FSX:SE, CS:GO, hell even Minecraft just fine. The fans ramp up, but the crashing never happens. Sometimes when I play INSURGENCY though, this happens about 15-45m after I start the game. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all. I'm pretty sure I'm running on the latest drivers.

 

I would like to note: NVIDIA's software is still installed (inspector and experience) from when I had a 1050 Ti, but I have AMD Adrenalin drivers installed.
