The issue I am having is that most of my games are not working/Freezing. Cold War-Battlefield 1/5-Need for Speed Heat-Apex-Destiny 2/VR games are all Freezing my PC and only way to fix it is to restart. They all freeze right as they are loading in the assets or with in 1 minute. Borderlands 2/3 and the Witcher 3 all work fine. battlefield 1 has multiple blue circles popping in and out on the right side of the screen every half a second and stops 10 seconds later (posting a picture). Borderlands 3 makes my screen flicker for 2 seconds and all is good. my Valve index does not even load VR home. Cold War had multiple 1 inch vertical lines during the first loading screen. Last thing I did was installed a new 4TB hard drive before my games stopped working. 

 

-All of this would tell me that my GPU is dead/dying but why would Borderlands 2/3 and the Witcher all run just fine? Temps are fine as well for both GPU (70c) and CPU (50c).

-All my drivers are up to Date (new drivers today 461.72) and windows updates are good. Have not updated my MOBO but do not think that would affect anything.

-Disabled XMP

-Have done a clean install of windows 10 multiple times as well used DDU to uninstall drivers multiple times.

-Bought a new Power supply which was 9 years old and bought that EVGA supernova

-Disabled all overlays

-Tried lower graphic settings and resolution

-Removing the Hard Driver

-checking all wires where connect correctly

-Do not see a high usage spike on GPU/CPU/RAM but how would I tell if my computer freezes and of course MSI Afterburner overlay does not work as well.

 

I now assume my GPU is dead/dying which sucks because it has not even been 1 years since I bought it. If any one has ideas of what it could be or has been threw this issue please let me know what you did to fix it.

If you are running the XMP enabled with your memory, try and manually lower it to 3200mhz while XMP is enabled and test that frequency.

Have you tried a fresh windows install?

Yes I have, about four times and installing the same games to see if the issue was still present. Every time updating all the drivers and updates. I even rolled back my Nvidia drivers a few months back to see if the drivers where the issue. I was able to get a new GPU to test out if the one I currently have is broken and will up date here if it was the problem. I will also be updating my MOBO BIOS to see if the makes any change.

You're on the right diag path. Good work.

So over the few days I decided to submit a RMA on my EVGA 2070 Super and just shipped it out earlier today. At the same time I received my new GPU a few hours ago and installed all the drivers needed. Started off with playing some destiny 2 and then some rounds of Cold War. I can say that everything started up perfectly as it should and runs without a problem. It sucks to think, with only 10 months of use this EVGA GPU would die on me that fast. My Radeon HD 7990/7870 and MSI 1070 all served me for about 4 years and some are still going. Thanks again for the help.
