Dead GPU?

[Guest]

Hey guys.

 

I am using my backup GTX 650. It's the 2GB OC model from Gigabyte. I think that I'll only have it for another day (Jen-Hsun should have my new GTX 970 here by tomorrow). I still want to know if it's broken or not in case I need to use it again. So basically, the display just freezes every few hours. I'll leave the PC running overnight (downloading games, rendering videos, backups, etc.). When I wake up and move the mouse, the screens will just freeze. In about 5 seconds the displays will go to no signal. The card has very low idle temperatures which rest at about 35 degrees. One thing to note is that the fans (GPU) go to 100% when I restart the PC after the freeze. Drivers are fine and games have no issues.

 

 

Thanks - Covert

I have actually had a bad video cable cause this exact issue. Other than that, I really don't know.

I've been using this HDMI chord for years and never had trouble

Also, it's unlikely that my HDMI cable AND DVI cable are broken.
