Ok guys, I'm having some trouble with my GPU and after 8 hours of trying to fix I've come here for some help. Yesterday when I was trying to play rainbow six: siege my monitor froze. I turned my computer off and left it for about an hour and when I came back it turned on fine. I loaded up rainbow six and again it froze. This happened to me before about 7 months ago during summer but it went away. I thought that it was over heating but when I checked the temps there were 70-80s. Anyway, whenever I turn on my computer it loads up just find but freezes at the starting Windows screen or black screens at the screen. The computer works if I disable my driver and switch to my iGPU but there is still some artifacting on the screen, which is why I believe this to be something wrong with my graphics card. I have also wiped my drivers with DDU and reinstalled both the ones that came with the GPU and the newest drivers from GeForce experience. I'm still under warrenty so should I try to just RMA it and see what happens? Btw sorry that wall of text

Is your GPU overclocked?

Nope nothing is overclocked

If it's still under warranty and they'll replace it, it's definitely the easiest option.  I don't know what it could be other than just a bad card.

Damn I hoped I wouldn't have to resort that but I think you're right, thanks.

Before you do that, you might want to try putting in different PCI slots.  It could just be the slot.

Ok I just did that but nothing changed. I'm just going to RMA it cause nothing seems to affecting it
