New ( used ) asus gtx 1060 6gb dual crashing ( video)

[Pomfrit]

When im on desktop eveything is fine but when i run heaven benchmark or play games it crashes.. screen goes black and says no signal also gpu fans ramp up to 100% but i can still hear the sound from the game.. and thats it  how can i fix this problem?

my rig:

i7 2600

16gb ram

gtx 1060 6gb

psu cooler master masterwatt 450w (2 months old)

mobo: intel dp67bg

Before i had a gtx 1050 ti which didnt use power cable

the gpu was used for mining the person i bought it from said it works 100% and it was used for mining for 3 months

He may have degraded the chip while mining and it cant hold the standart clocks anymore.

 

Try underclocking the core and memory and see if this fixes it

Ok will try. The funny thing is when i told him what is happening he claimed that the gpu is 100% working and it must be something with my pc or psu.. no matter what i say he still claims that...

How much should i underclock memory and core (im not good at this) is it good -100?

1 - step use DDU in safe mode

2 - have no oc on your system 

3 - test in superposition and see if it crashes

4 - downclock the memory and gpu by 50 or 100

 

If nothing works try a diferent psu

 

if still you have problems that card is going to the gpu heaven,

He said that he tried benchmarking it and it worked perfectly but when i try heaven benchmark it it crashes.... also i tried all the thing above... i can only try those things now: changing thermal paste, underclocking it and use a different pcie

 

also didnt try different psu yet which i dont have

Try it in some friends pc if under clocking doesn't work. Changing the paste won't help, your temps are fine. You can try putting the card in different slot though.

Ok will try under clocking and different slot when i arrive home... but still changing thermal paste and re-seat the card cant hurt right??:) ty

I wouldn't bother with changing the paste, reseating is advisable though.

Yesterday i tried heaven benchmark and temps went to 76degrees before crashing so the temps arent that perfect><

76 under is load is perfectly fine.

If it didnt crash it would maybe go higher since the test wasnt even halfway trough.. cant even see max temps -.-

It looks like that overheating is not the problem here, might be the card itself.

Yeah might be but the person who sold it is not reasonable so it is what it is..
