I have a Gigabyte GTX970 mini that has started giving me a problem. A bizarre problem. It seems that, whenever I try to run something that pushes the card, it crashes. For ordinary use, like browsing or Photoshop, it's fine and there's no indication anything is wrong. I'm actually using it now to type this post. However, when trying to run something like Alien: Isolation or the Heaven benchmark, it crashes.
I've verified it's the card by trying it in another system and running Heaven. Same crash at the same time, no matter the settings. I've also tried replacing the TIM with Arctic Silver to no effect. I also made sure that both machines had the same nVidia driver installed (the latest "game ready" one).
Is it possible for part of a card to fail, but not the entire thing? Is there anything I can run to help pinpoint the exact fault?
Oh, this card has never been used for cryptomining. It's actually seen relatively little use.
Thanks in advance.
