My GPU utilization spikes to 100% for a sec and then freezes my game

[Ben31-03-2006]

i recently purchased a second hand 2060 ko. When ever i launch a game, ill start playing and then a few minutes later, my gpu will spike to 100% utilization and then the game will crash. Ive tried completely removing the drivers and doing a clean install. Ive tried underclocking and undervolting. I've tried flashing a more up to date vbios onto the card and nothing has worked. im stumped. please help.

from what I can see from the info of the tool you are using is that most likely your PSU is the culprit here. it cannot provide enough voltage under load. You might wanna look for a PSU replacement

that could be it, but the guy i got the gpu said he was also having issues with it. ill definitely look into it tho

it's either the PSU or some power delivery issue on the card's board. You might want to borrow a higher end PSU from a friend and test before buying a new one.
