GPU not working like it used too

[SleepingGiant]

Hi there,

 

Games usually played: Dota2, Paladins, CS:GO, Team fortress.

 

Potato pc specs: AMD a4-5300, 8gb ram 1333mhz, gtx 1050.

 

Games above used to run on the potato pc(not great but acceptable).

 

Weeks ago it keeps fragmenting leaning to eaither a  crashing, not responding, will open then immediately close the program.

 

I just thought that the games just got more demanding for the poor cpu.

 

(This are all base on the time i tried and run a game)

I monitored the cpu and gpu for any abnormalities, cpu will always cap at 100%(normal for me)

Gpu usage: 52%

Gpu temp: 42c

Clocks: 1405mhz(max clock in my model)

Bus usage: 2%

Memory usage: 482mb

 

It will spick up its max clocks just to open the game. My concern in it kills the program to save itself from damage

 

Now i upgraded the system but still keeping the gpu

 

New system specs: r5 2600, 16gb running 3333mhz(3600mhz labeled in package), GTX 1050

 

It still cant run the games.

 

What could have happened and are there any fixes for this?

 

Ps. When i tried a RTX2070 in the same potato pc the games work and not defragment leading to a crash

 

Ps. Nvidia driver used was version 452.06, windows version 19041

Yes, i thought it would fix the problem but apparently not.

 

I am also experiencing blue screens before and after the reinstallation

Try running a benchmarking utility and see if that crashes if that is the case your gpu may just be fried.

Cinebench r15 opengl and Heaven

 

1. Potato pc: runs with no problem

2. Potato pc after experiencing fragmentation: does not work. The second it load/runs the benchmark it automatically closes the program(please see video above to get a clearer idea)

3. New pc: same problem as #2

 

Dunno if this helps, but it can run furmark(the fuzzy donut of doom)

How can that be? What are the causes?

 

I have look in the pcb and nothing was burned or wrong with it(physically).

Just because you can't see any damage doesn't meant it is perfectly fine. If it experiences issue in all cases then the only other way is to see if you can have a friend test it. If it still acts up something is wrong and you'll best replace it.

What I have done so far:

Potato pc: installed rtx2070, everything worked fine.

 

New system: installed gtx1050, works like a dead horse

 

Friends system: have not tried my gtx1050

Friends system specs: same as my new system just with a r7 3700x

 

My gpu can still output a display but it can't run any 3D type of program/software
