troubleshoot Screen artefacts before system crashes and reboots

[WiggsyGames]

Hi guys I need help, in the last couple days whilst gaming I get these weird green pixelated artefacts before the whole pc crashes and then reboot. Anyone know what’s going on?

Looks like Graphics card failure.

I was thinking that but the card is only like a year old, and after the system reboots and I reinstall drivers it works fine again for a few days then just randomly does it

That's typical for graphics card failure. If you want to go deep into it you can download mats and test the ram. It looks like either one of the RAM chips on the board is failing or the RAM controller which is part of the GPU.

 

You can also try to underclock the core and the ram to 80% and see if it is more stable.

Okay thank you!

Seems like defective VRAM,

RMA the card.
