Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

It doesn't exhibit any symptoms of a bad GPU or memory: lock-ups, artifacts, monitor turning off.
This is the graphic card:
The cooler has contact with the GPU and nothing else. The Power-Circuitry area gets really hot. I'm thinking if there's a problem, this must be it. But then what's...
Ok using a multimeter I've got this:
- on the cables leading to HDDs and GPU (12V rails?):
12V: 12.24
5V: 5.17
- on the 12V cables for the MB
12V: 12.24
5V: 5.17
3V: 3.34
Hello. I've been having problems with my PC, keeps crashing during games. Shuts itself down and doesn't want to start again. Also, the PSU is making a weird noise while doing that. I've underclocked the Graphics card and CPU and things got better for a while, no crashes but now it's started...
