Hello guys, I am having strange problems with my friends pc and running out of ideas how to fix it...

The problem is that all games keep crashing, some do it imediately, some after few seconds. It started after changing gpu from gtx 660 to rx 460. I have tried several things, so I will list them here: update gpu bios, reinstalling the system (windows, clean drivers installation), trying another psu, underclocking the card and backing of power target limit by 20% (which actually helped by increasing the time before the game crash by few seconds...)

 

System specification:

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

AMD FX 6100 stock speed

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3-v6

2x 4GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX 1600

Gigabyte Radeon RX 460 2 GB

Some china 750w psu (which I know isnt the problem, tested with Corsair RM850 and the problem remained the same)

 

I will be glad for any advices and help.

have you tried using that RX 460 in a different PC?  Sounds to me like the problem might be the card.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

DDU and reinstall.

generic advice, but it works a lot.

The gtx 660 died unfortunately

hmmm, could you pull your graphics card and put it in, or any other graphics card, could be an issue with the pcie slot or mobo in general

Sorry for the delay, I was quite busy and didnt had time to try it... So I have tested my gpu in that pc (also with my psu, because the other one does not have 2x 8 pin connectors) and it was working fine. Im totally lost and clueless what to do now...
