graphics card Dead GPU?

[Ghost1_]

Hello guys, 

My custom build is a

Ryzen 3 2200g

MSI B450M Pro-m2

Gigabyte 1050ti GV-N105TD5-4GD

Crucial Ballistix 2x4gb 2666 mhz

Patriot Burst 120 GB

WD Blue 1TB HDD

Silverstone ET450-B 450W PSU

 

Yesterday I went and started playing PUBG and in the middle of the match, I lost display. I restarted my PC and still nothing. Went and did the usual steps for repairing such as clearing CMOS, checking RAM one by one but still nothing. My iGPU works fine meaning that my cable also does. I managed to install DDU and deleted drivers and reinstalled latest ones. It worked for a day then today, it lost display again. In addition, I've been getting frequent power outages and I don't know if this might be partially the cause.

Please help me. This is my first build and I don't want it to die without even being one year old.

If the card is under warranty, RMA it. Not certain it's the GPU but without other components to test with it's hard to say.

 

 

You could try running synthetic loads on just your GPU and seeing if it shuts down.

Look at the GPU in Device Manager and see if it's throwing any error codes. If you see Code 43, RIP.

 

Either way, I'd RMA the card at this point. It seems like you've pretty well narrowed it down through testing, certainly to the point that I'd be comfortable saying it's the GPU.
