GPU blow up (gpu problems)

[maybe_lewd]

Im pretty sure this is the right board to post on....

So recently my pc has been crashing on me and im pretty sure its my gpu because its been only happening when i ONLY play graphics intensive games (rendering on adobe after effects runs just fine, so cpu, ram, hdd shouldn't be the problem) I've updated all my drivers and this problems still occur, so i was wonder if the linus community can help me out here

note: is it normal to have your gpu go up to 1412 MHz (which is over boost clock by the way) even tho i didn't overclock it?

also if anyone wants to know when my pc crashes it gives me a dose of ear rape, if you want to experience this with me just get a n64, put your tv at max volume, then while your playing pull the cartridge out. your welcome

 

pc specs:

cpu: i3‑6100

gpu: evga 960 2gb

ram: corsair vengeance LPX 16GB

mb: asus Z170-A

power supply : evga 500 watt w/ going to blow up certification

Is the card overclocked? Try updating your drivers.

It probably won't do anything, but have you tried reseating it and reinstalling the drivers? Not just updating, I mean uninstall and then reinstall from scratch? Clear your registry with something like CCleaner just for fun. It's helped me in the past.

Those EVGA PSUs use pretty cheap components, so I would try another PSU to see if it helps. My friend went through the exact same.

 

@Edit

About the driver clean installation, you may want to take a look at the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) for that.

Probably. The way GPU Boost works is that the card will continue to increase its clock speed until it hits one of several predetermined limits: temperature, voltage, or power draw. It's not unusual to see some cards run beyond their listed maximum boost clock when well-cooled. My new GTX 1070 has a max boost clock of 1683 MHz, but it was hitting 1800-1830 MHz before I changed any settings.
