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.

 

PS. Gigabyte Fan Stop light is off even if the Card is idle.

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.
