Old Gpu problems...i think

[OGBaripins]

I have a pretty outdated system with a 660 ti graphics card. Like a week back my games started to crash randomly with a DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVEDREMOVED error. After 2 days it started to crash a lot quicker without any error and after that happens i need to restart my PC because it freezes. Does anybody know what i can do about it?

Did you try reseating the card on the motherboard?

That didnt help at all, but could a problem be in a sata to pcie cable that is conected to one of the ports on my gpu?

Could be many things. I'll list as the most common problems based on my experience of the symptoms you've described.

 

• Failing PSU with poor voltages on a loaded up rail.
• GPU overheating; validate temperatures
• Faulty RAM on the card, or some other surface mounted component
• GPU chip itself has a microscopic crack in one of the BGA (ball grid array) and requires re-flowing with a heat gun. Thermal expansion and contraction will weaken the solder and exasperate the issue.
• Faulty Motherboard.
