GPU unstable and artifacts

[Hentaianalmal]

Hello! I’m having issues with my gpu is presume. I’m new to PCs and this is my first tower so I’m not so tech savvy but it seems that my gpu seems to be unstable. 
I noticed this while playing dead island definitive edition since I kept getting red and green artifacts. I read online it may be due to memory clock so I set it to 6800mhz Using precision X1, it was previously set to 7000mhz stock and it fixed it. I since then tested other games like modern warfare and Cold War but my game would crash a few minutes in. I fixed this issue by putting my target power percent to 130 and voltage to 100 using precision once again although I do still crash but not as soon. In game I would also get random terrible stuttering and FPS drops. I’m not too sure what may be causing this but any suggestions would be appreciated!

What board and PSU do you have? What graphics card is it even, for that matter?

I updated my post with info

I hope the Power rails for the multiple connectors needed are seperate not splitt/duals on one rail sharing the load because that can cause issues on high drawing GPUs.

 

If your PSU has 2x PCIE PWR and you only use a single rail thats split i to 2x 8pin,....id swap and use both dedicated PCIE cables PER connector.

 

I put 2x8pins on a single pcie cable with (2x8pin) and got weird behavior until I used an 8pin from each PCIE rail.

I’m sorry but I’m not sure what a PCIE rail is, I’m assuming it’s the wire connected to the PSU? I’m not too sure if it’s using a single cord or not but I can definitely check

If using a single pcie power that split iinto 2x8pins and you have spares available, use a spare with the main for each to run an 8pin to the GPU.

 

Is how I should have worded it sorry...

This was connected to my gpu and the power supply but it also has another 8 pin connected

^ so to me thats a single cable with 2x8pins.

If your PSU has another available, use an 8pin each from each cable, and not the split single cable if you have a spare available.

 

My 2080Ti went nuts the same way using a single cable with 2x8pins on the GPU.

Switched to using only 1x8pin per cable for independently powered 2x8pins on GPU side(not shared)

I just switched it out with another 8 pin, I hope this fixes it!

It didn’t work  I noticed my motherboard q code says 0c or oc, what does that mean? Also now I’m seeing extreme FPS drops and stutters on Cold War, it even dropped down to 7 FPS

Your motherboard manual (in your box or online website downloadable) has the Q Code listings to decipher what it means (Overclocked?- Could be why it's unstable)

I don’t have a manual, i bought this pc off a pc seller so it didn’t come with anything. Also I never overclocked anything and the pc was fully factory restored but I think it’s due to the gpu being factory oc. I also fixed the issue though, it was due to my Xbox controller not being updated that caused the games to crash or stutter. I don’t know why the heck it would cause all that but after updating it, the games run all locked at 144hz on the highest settings.
