Possible GPU dying?

[Simon771]

Yesterday I was playing games on my PC and everything was okay, no problems etc.

But today when I turned on my PC in the morning, I gotweird graphic issue. It looked something like this: 

 

That's just picture I found on web and it looked kinda like my problem. I hardly saw anything on screen.

So I unpluged Display port cable from my GPU and just connect it back in. Everything back to normal.

Is it possible that GPU is dying on me? It's R9 390 nitro with bacplate that I bought 2 months ago.

It just saddens me that if problem is with GPU, I will have to send it back from Slovenia to Germany (mindfactory) ... so I will have to pay 120€ shiping cost, and the wait for 2 months before they test it out and send me new card. That whole proccess seems rather expencive and would take very long time.

I realy hope my GPU isn't dying, but after what I experienced this morning I have my doubts. Also few days ago I had some horizontal green lines on screen for like 1 sec ... at totaly random times while browsing web. 

But no problems with performance in games and benchmarks for now

Go reinstall everything if you can, it may be but from my experience things like that come from drivers and things like that.

Well I used DDU few days ago to uninstall graphic drivers.

After that I downloaded official drivers from here: http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=FF539E23-7718-4BDE-9E02-CF174D2BFCC2&lang=eng

 

Have I done something wrong? Should I do that proccess differently?

sounds like a dying GPU, try your luck and request an RMA and see if they accept it

Why not from the AMD site directly? Huh, have you overclocked?

Just what I was afraid of ... will see if I get same problem till the end of the week. If I do, I will just have to RMA it.

Well I think that Sapphire is providing best drivers avaliable for that specific GPU, but I might try to download from AMD also and do this proccess again.

I did overclock it few times. But mostly just from 1040 to 1100 core and memory from 1500 to 1600.

Max overclock I did was +50mV, 1150core and 1650 memory for benchamrs only. Temps were always normal (under 80°C).

I did try AUX overclocking once and it crashed my system (monitor lost connection), so I had to force reboot and turned that OC off.

When I RMA card ... can they see if I ever overclocked it?

Sapphire doesn't make the drivers. AMD does.

From AMD's site you just surely get the newest version.

 

Also, no, they can't see the overclocking.

Okay that sounds great.

I will do this process again with drivers and I will also use another display port on GPU. If it's just faulty DP port, I don't realy care about that.

Will see how that works out
