GPU acting.. Very badly..

[Allshevski]

So, now as my first problem has been solved by just uninstalling Afterburner in safe mode, I have another.

My GPU is running 60 degrees Celsius with only Chrome browser and GeForce Experience running.

I don't know what can I describe to you to be helpful, but.. Damn, is it software or the GPU is bad?

I also have couple of "blackouts" and "whiteouts" when I'm booting my PC, with window saying that GeForce Experience Share is not responding..

Will reinstalling my system help or is it something related to hardware? GPU is GTX 960 4GB Windforce 2 from Gigabyte.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

 

Also, If you have time, could you kindly take a look and tell me what happened before? Here is the topic.

Clean that cooler because GTX 960 shouldn't even reach 72`C

It's clean. I mean, I kinda exaggerated, normally it's 65 degrees when gaming with fans at 700rpm. Also, your post has done nothing to solve my problem.

Edit: Oh, I forgot to add, it reached 65 degrees when booting but now it's sitting at 39 degrees while ambient temperature is 24 degrees.

So you have bad fan profile if its at 60`C with chrome browser or the card is damaged somehow because blackouts, whiteouts and crashes are not expected from a 1 year old card

... So reinstall drivers with DDU and if it doesn't stop then RIP GPU

It isn't dead, it's working just fine. Also, drivers were updated to using clean install option... Now it's 38 degrees.. Is it new Game Ready driver fault?

I'd say look if the GPU is down locking while you use Chrome. It's not very taxing and the GPU should be well below it's base clock.

 

Could be solved by driver reinstall, if that doesn't help try the GPu in another system and see if the same thing happens.

 

If not co sider reinstalling the Windows. If yes try reappying thermal paste. If that doesn't help maybe the temp sensor is bad or the card as a whole has some issue.

I don't have a clue because i have GTX 960 too and no crashes and weird things on no drivers running whatsoever .... No driver running but games work... Da hell

Okay, thanks man. These are my readings from HWmonitor, they seem to be good. Thermal paste was reapplied twice and it's been running fine for like two months with no overheating. (I used Cryorig CP9). So it's completely software related problem? Sensor is good in my opinion, heatpipes are warm now, so is the backplate.

Those readings seem normal.

 

The pipes and backplate get pretty warm on the 960 even at idle. Was happening to mine as well. It's not really an indication of something being wrong. The fans don't turn on until 60 and my card was hovering around 45C - 50C while watchung Youtube. That was with the case fans at pretty low speed.

 

If I understood correctly you just reinstalled the driver and now it works? Maybe you fixed the issue with this already.

 

What's the airflow like in your case?

I uninstalled the Afterburner and I don't know if the Afterburner was causing this but I couldn't even write a post before as it just glitched (I think it was VRAM acting) but now it seems to be alright. The fans are spinning but an minimal speed.

 

And no, I installed the driver and this was the beginning of my problems. 

 

Airflow is side panel removed.

Doesn't it have the fan off feature when idle? 

 

Also what is your monitor refresh rate?

60 hertz on 1080p. It should.. But it's spinning..

turn off geforce experience or whatever. Shadowplay might be running in the background.
