Yes for sure for the PSU. Yes for the GPU if you want to run games well again.

One day I was playing some games in my mid-ranged PC smoothly. And suddenly the other day while I was rendering an image in Blender and a CUDA error popped up.

I tried to play games after that, and while playing the game freezes with audio still active and a distorted display. Everything was fine outside the game after closing it using task manager.

 

A week before that happened I realized that OpenGL somehow uninstalled itself. Reinstalling the GPU driver fixed it. I hope it was relevant to the above issue.

 

Now I've reinstalled windows and made the problem even worse. I can't install the GPU driver anymore. While installing the screen goes black and after restarting the screen shows distorted horizontal pixels. The device manager shows error code 43 on GPU.

 

I know my GPU is pretty much dead but I would like to know what might have caused it.

I have/had nVidia GTX 760 - never even thought of overclocking it.

An AMD FX-6300 - again never overclocked.

A Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 Motherboard

Corsair VS650 PSU

Basically poor mans gaming PC.

Right now I've reinstalled my old GT 610.

My guess is the PSU. Corsair VS go pop randomly, indicating that they are badly made.

The 760 still displays, I just unable to play games.

I've installed the GPU in someones else computer also. Still same issue.

Bad PSU could have sent unstable power to the GPU which causes unrecoverable damage to some of the parts.

 

By using this PSU the next victim could just die at once.

logic dictates that if you tried your gpu in a friends machine and had the same issues you were getting ie. cant play games etc. then its gpu for sure....repeatable error with faulty part.....also it does not indicate that you need a new psu (thou it is a part that should be of highest quality)

He should still get a higher quality power supply. You don't want the same thing happening to a brand new graphics card just because you didn't think the PSU was bad.

The thread is pretty much over.

I'll start a new thread about me buying a new PC. So help me there....
