GTX 1060 crashing

Go to solution Solved by Bombastinator,

So an older intel system with to mutually incompatible video card “paired with” each other, which have apparently both undergone failed undervolting attempts. there was an actual hardware change but you discount that.  My move would be to pull the 1050ti on the grounds that it’s the slower of the two cards and see if the problem goes away.  If it doesn’t, swap the 1050ti with the 1060 and check again

So, basically my dad was trying to teach me some programming in Java, in the IntelliJ IDEA program. (actually I really don't know if it has anything to do with crashing)

And just out of nowhere, Spotify and IDEA crashed. And almost every program I tried crashed, even the windows notepad, but google chrome is working just fine.(Games also crashed)

 

Anyway, my setup is as follows

i5-7400

Gigabyte B250M-D3H

ASUS ROG Strix GTX-1060-O6G paired with MSI GTX 1050Ti 4GB

HyperX 16GB RAM 2133MHz

 

Few days ago I changed the main drive from 500GB SSD to Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe but i think, as it went clean, it shouldn't matter.

 

Now both GPUs are at 54°C without any load.

Drivers are up to date, even tried reinstalling them.

I tried underclock both cards, just to see if will the temperature drop, it did not. (fans off)

 

I think it could have something to do with the IDEA program but I'm not sure at all..

 

That should be all, if anything is missing I'll edit the post, please help me solve this and pardon my English, I'm from Czech Republic.

 

EDIT: It all worked fine for over 5 years and with 2 GPUs for over 2 years.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Hm... That's strange I tried it before (and forgot to mention it) and it didn't work... Tried it again and it works, for now... I'll put it back to see if it really was the reason
