Computer crashes in all games

So it is indeed a hardware issue.

Let’s start from the beginning. We haven’t stress tested your GPU. I need you to run the stress test for a minimum of 1 hour. We’ve already tested your RAM, but we may have to delve in further. You have a hardware issue, that is 100% certain.

FurMark Setup:

• If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
• In the Run mode box, select “Stability Test” and “Log GPU Temperature”
  Click “Go” to start the test (Looks like it’s “BURN-IN test” now)
• Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
  NOTE: Set the alarm to go off at 90ºC. Then watch the system from that point on. If the system doesn’t display a temperature, watch it constantly and turn it off at the first sign of video problems. DO NOT leave it it unmonitored, it can DAMAGE your video card!!!
  If the temperature gets above 100ºC, quit the test - the video card is overheating.
• Click “Quit” to exit
  What you are looking for:
• excessive heat from the GPU (report back with anything over 90ºC)
• problems with the video display (picture is distorted or jumbled, picture turns black, etc)
• problems reported by the program (I haven’t seen this, but “just in case”)

Well I ran the program and I had a problem. The card was running at 75 degrees, and hitting 100% usage. I ran the program for 18 mins and then my monitors turned black, then said that there was no input. I had to restart my pc to make the monitors work. Also gpu fan speed was at about 70% but sometimes dipped to 60%.

I just tried using an old rx 460 I had lying around. I dont think this hardware issue is my gpu. All my games still crash. Could my motherboards pcie be broken? Also my pc wasnt turning on when i got home today, and the RAM debug light was on. I swapped the RAM to a different slot and now it works. Dont know if thats helpful or not

Sounds like it could be a faulty motherboard if you had an error light in one slot but it went away when you moved the RAM to another slot

Do you think getting a new mobo could stop the crashing?

At this point everything is pointing to a bad motherboard.

Ok then. I hope this works

Any updates?

No. I’m still trying to get enough money to buy a new mobo.

Hello luzarhu01,

If you are set on purchasing a new MB would you be ok with concluding this thread.

Sure. How do I do that?

No worries we can do that for you, if you need any help with choosing a MB once you have the funds, post on the forum here and we will help you select a board.
