GTX 780 acting up

Ive had this pc for over a year now and had no problems, up until when i came back from holidays 2 days ago... While i was on holidays i picked myself up a 3tb seagate barracuda drive and when i got home i put it in the computer and it worked fine. But i also ran into a problem where, whenever the graphics card comes under load (only caused by a game) it would crash and so i looked into it and gpu z seems to say that it comes under load then sets itself back to 0% load. I reinstalled windows and had no change. What could cause this and how can i fix it?

Temps barely get above 70 when it crashes and its usually just the game crashes and the driver reboots

i haven't even touched it, should i underclock it?

Update: Underclocked it and it didn't fix it, i will soon be putting it in a mates computer and testing to make sure it's the graphics card before sending it off for rma.

Does not sound good. Some guys 290 was doing this too....in 2 diff computers.... RMA it went.

Problem is, it was 2nd hand, but it is still under warranty. But we need to track down the guy we bought it off...

Yea. That's always a problem. So you get a deal because it's cheaper than new cards but if something goes bad...could be trouble.

 

I just bought a used GTX 770 but it was about 4 months old and it didn't look used at all. It's a crapshoot I guess.

Well it was part of the whole system he sold me. Worked fine for over a year lol. I know the guys address (hes like 600km away) and so next time i'm/someone i know is there we'll be seeing if he still lives there. If he does it will be no problem for an RMA.

Ahh... well that makes even more sense then. Good luck to you... hope it all works out. How much longer is the warranty for anyhow?

Still got months to go, no rush, well, a rush because i want to play games again, but still...

Just got back from testing it at my mates place and it works fine, fml... IT LITERALLY JUST NEEDED TO BE RESEATED, WHY WOULD IT BE SOMETHING SO SIMPLE! I expected it to be much worse and sort of dismissed the problem of reseating because 1. i never touched it because i was on holidays and 2. its usually a works/doesn't work situation.
