MemTest64 and prime95 memory test help

[nick name]

I'm not sure what to make of the behavior I am seeing from my PC when I am testing my RAM. Neither MemTest64 or prime95 are crashing or reporting errors, but the display signal gets turned off and when turned back on the active program window looks like garbage. I thought it was a sleep state, but I double checked and nothing is ever set to sleep or turn-off in my power management settings. So I am not sure what this is an indication of. Is it unstable RAM even without the programs crashing or reporting errors? If anyone has experienced this please chime in. Thank you. 

 

In this scenario the RAM is overclocked and the GPU is overclocked. Not the CPU.

Stop overclocking.

Run tests again.

If it's still occurring, then you fried the GPU

I think you're being a bit hasty with your diagnosis.  I can game, run benchmarks and anything else that stresses the GPU and nothing fails. No artifacts or any other sign of GPU failure during those instances. And when running MemTest64 or prime95 the GPU fans don't spin up and there is no indication the GPU has any load on it beyond simple display duties. So with that said -- do you have any experience you're drawing from to reach your conclusion of a bad GPU?

Your words....

I assume you've tried another power supply and/or monitor?
