Is my gpu dieing?

[duncan5200]

I have a gtx 780 ti windforce, and started noticing, that games started crashing more frequently due to directx, and wierd things i think they are called artifacts, like something starts changing colors, or flashing that shouldnt, as well as I had this wierd thing happen i have three monitors and turned 2 off to take a screen shot that wasnet extra wide, and the monitor started looking like a old movie with lines running down, it is not overclocked, well except for the factory oc that gigabyte did, should I call gigabyte and try to warranty it back? Or is this something else? Thank you for answering.

Check GPU temps,  see if its overheating, reinstall/update drivers, under-clock it a small amount. If none fix it, try reseating your gpu in a different pci-e slot (becareful please) then see if you have anymore artifacts. This happened to me, I would get red lines on my boot screen and checkerboard artifacts during games on load and reseating the gpu fixed the problem. Hope this works for you! If it didnt work try talking to the manufacturer to get a replacement or troubleshoot the problem.

Reseat PCI-e you mean move It to a different slot?

 Yes, if you dont have a second slot just take the gpu out and put it back in.

What are your GPU temperatures? In particular, do you notice any trend where the issues start happening at/above certain temperatures?

 

Rule out the easy stuff first (mentioned above), but if nothing seems to help then I think its a definite candidate for RMA. You can try underclocking to help isolate the problem. But if you have to do that, chances are its faulty.

I ran it out of spec for 30 seconds once so I never bothered paying attention to my gpu temps since I ran it not coed, will check them as soon as I ise my PC again.
