Graphics crashing

Wa1lmer · December 16, 2021

A week ago I installed a new CPU cooler and I'm afraid I might have damaged my mobo/graphics cards in the process. The day after I installed the new cooler I started noticing some game crashes and bad loading times but I didn't think much of it yet. Then it kept on getting worse and worse during the week and now here I am with my graphics constantly crashing

(see attached images). I have tried reinstalling drivers but that does not fix the issues.

Can anyone help me out here?

did you try using ddu when reinstalling drivers? if not, try running ddu, and then installing fresh drivers. what are the idle and load temps of the card?

I haven't tried ddu yet so I'll do it once I get back home.

The card is 40 degrees Celcius idle and 75 degrees while running heaven benchmark.

When using MSI afterburner to monitor the GPU. I saw that sometimes the memory clock spiked to max and the GPU clock spiked to 70%. I'm not sure if this is normal or if this is part of the problems I'm having.
