Is my GPU dying?

[RADEON_GUY]

So while I was playing TF2 and destroying f2ps, my screen suddenly turned a brownish colour and the sound was stuttering. After a minute or so the screen turned black and the sound stopped. So i've unplugged my pc... When I tried rebooting it, my monitor displayed a 'check this connection' message. When I plugged my cable into the iGPU, it said there was no connection. So I turned it off. I cried. I waited a few minutes and plugged my cable back into my main GPU. And then there were the marvelous windows updates. And it seems to be working now but I'm still freakin worried...

Probably a driver issue. Try updating you drivers. if you notice it again I would prepare to get a new card. 

 

Is your card Nivida?

Yup. a 970(ignore my name i made this account back when I had my r9 270). The drivers were all up to date when it froze.

Odd possibly a heating issue run a stress test and tell us the results.

Running fur mark as we speak. I'm also suspecting overheating as I stuck my 10.4 inch GPU in a Hadon Air... I'll make myself some nice warm tea and let the test run for 10 minutes and tell you the results assuming it won't crash.

-Updates will be posted here-

Hit 72-Still running

Update 2

Well it's at 77. It seemed to go down from 78. And the gpu is running perfectly. Hopefully my pc just brainfarted when it froze.

I forgot to mention I also had an OC on my GPU when it crashed. Now I'm running it non OC'd. Also, my PSU is the EVGA 500W 80+ Gold which came with my Hadron so I'm not too worried. Perhaps just a PC brainfart.

Perhaps or an unstable OC either way I think you are fine. Good luck!

Yeah probably. It was the kind of OC that didn't quite crash, but it was right at the limit anyways...

Well If my GPU ever dies and is out of warranty I might just try it. I mean it can't kill it more than it already is.
