3070 3070 GPU having major issues...

[MayaWowzers]

Hi, 

 

I bought a 3070 a while ago because i needed a new one at one of the worst times to need one. I gathered some money and found a legit eBay seller who was selling a 3070 for a fair price for what the market was like, and it was one of the newer ones that had the crypto thing to prevent people from doing their thing. Anywho, i recieved it and it ran quite well for a couple months.

 

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, i was playing cs:go which isnt very graphics intensive, and it blackscreened on me. My monitors refused to display anything anymore. I removed the cables and plugged them back in again. Still nothing...

 

I turned it off, turned it back on, and i got back on cs:go only to have the same thing happen. Restarted again, but this time i played something else, and nothing bad happened. It happened a few more times here and there randomly, and now im here, and its just done it around 3 times today.

 

Some extra info about the occurrences:

- Its not overheating, i have software open that shows me how my gpu is doing.

- The RGB stayed on the first time iirc, but i might be wrong. A couple times it just turned off, and a few times the RGB flickered.

- The first time, my pc turned off after a while, or i think it did because my discord cut out and my fans stopped. Since then, i just turn it off when that happens.

- ive speculated it might possibly be something to do with my PSU but im really not sure, i think its a GPU issue.

 

If anyone can help id greatly appreciate it! If you need more info i can for sure help.
