Graphics Card randomly shut down.

[Infow27]

Hey there,

My GTX 1050Ti randomly shut down.. like the Graphics Card's RGB lights went off, no display, no warning whatsoever. Just a blank screen until the PC is rebooted.

PC fans running fine, only the card shut down all of a sudden. Reboots like nothing happened. 

This really worries me since I have online exams in 2 days. This happened when I was in a MS Teams class.

 

Is my GPU dying..?

Also GPU temps are at 55 C , is this normal??

 

Thanks in advance.

Check the windows logs. If you see Event 41, that's a loss of power error. Would question the PSU or mainboard.

 

If the Gpu black screened and you can still hear sounds from the game for example, that would be a driver crash that didn't recover.

You can recover the driver yourself without the need to restart the PC by hitting these 4 keys at the same time. Win+Ctrl+Shift+B.

Just checked, no sign of Event 41.

Black screened and it took the audio with it.

Any other logs that take place at time of shut down/restart? 

 

Or any other symptoms you can think of?

Windows Defender update.

 

Valorant keeps crashing to desktop frequently. Since I have a Gigabyte Card, they come with Fan Stop lights, the FanStop RGB light illuminates if the fans are off when idling. Currently as I'm typing this, the FanStop lights are off, but the fans are literally not spinning. 

 

PS. Drivers updated 3 days ago.

Did you have this issue before the driver update? If not, use DDU to un-install the driver so you can re-install the previous.

Had this issue before the driver update, main reason why I updated it.

Didn't know that, my apologies.

 

Well this type of thing can happen from just about any piece of hardware from RAM to PSU and things in between. 

Do you have anything to test with? Another Gpu? Another set of memory?

Unfortunately no.

Ask a family member or a friend if you can borrow some hardware for testing. I'd start with a power supply personally, but anything is a start.
