Graphics card dying?

Recently as some of you know I have been wanting to do a rebuild. I havent done it yet, but I was planning on keeping my GPU. Now BeamNG Crashes with the error "BeamNG.drive 0.10.0.1 0x00000001" and all my games are seeming slugish/slow, especially when I have a video on 2nd monitor, the video likes to freeze up if over 480p. I have a GTX 960 SSC if that helps at all.

 

That is a generic code. Have you updated your graphics drivers?

 

Have you experienced any graphical glitches in games and/or the desktop?

 

On the desktop, (2nd monitor while playing on first) Occasionally i will see a black bar go accrost both screens, a glitch i have had for years (i dont think is related) is that nvidia share for some reason bugs out and makes my default screen black. I last updated my drivers about a month and a half ago i think? When it crashes (on beam) it says my GPU stopped responding. I have noticed other games have slowed too, (GTA, CS:GO, Borderlands 2 out of all games, etc) so I am not sure. I have had it for about a year and 3 months.

 

Those are sure signs for a dying graphics card. It needs to be replaced immediately.

 

I agree completely, but isn't 1 year 3 months quick for a graphics card to go bad?

 

If you don't, one day, you'll get an error like this:



At that point your graphics card will be a useless brick.

I think so. It may have had faulty hardware in it somewhere.

 

I will try to get it to break again and take a pic of what happens. So my pricetag went from 1100 to 1300+ nice

Not even 5 mins in and i got the error.

 

downclock your gpu using msi after burner might make it more stable until you get a higher budget

 

I have EVGA Precision on Steam i can do that on, Plus budget shouldnt be that big of an issue

 

Fans working? Anything caught in them?

 

Yes. I did also have a Overclock on it if that makes a difference on life span.. I expected it to die quicker than stock OC but not that quick
Running Valley Benchmark on 0/0 OC rn to see

Well, the card appears to be working. Have you tried Beam with the GPU at bone stock yet? To me, it sounds like the card wasn't getting enough power and just quit.

 

Sorry I took so long to respond. I had my card on +55 GPU and +100 Mem i think for almost the whole time I had it. I recently upped it to about 80 and 170 I think and shortly after it started breaking. I will try Beam on stock OC rn

I can say this, my last GPU gave up (Radeon HD7850 that put up a good fight), before that it randomly shut off the computer or through me out of BeamNG.
My new graphics card (Radeon RX480 4gb) also had problems with BeamNG (restarted the computer or more often gave a GPU exception and CTD) until I read up on the graphics card and issues people had with it. Seamed like the fans couldn't coop with the spikes in temp that BeamNG caused. I lowered the goal temp for them and also raised the max power they could use, haven't had any issued after that.

 

80 to 170 is a massive jump. My card can only top out at 125+ clock. 170 would essentially brick my system.

 

I was just giving an example, I dont think i went that high, but I did it in small amounts and left it and shortly after it started breaking XD
I also ment 80 GPU 170 Mem not an 80 GPU to 170
