Hi, my brand new build came up with this issue just after a few days of use, on stock speeds. At first I thought the issue was the card, but now I think the issue may be something else.
The card is GTX 780 Ti. When I use it, in a game or Heaven benchmark for example, I start seeing red artifacts after about three seconds. A few seconds after that it all goes black and the rest is somewhat unknown. Sometimes Nvidia KERNEL error, sometimes the app crashes. Either way horrible lag continues until reboot. MSI Afterburner showed a HUGE Power% spike right when it crashes. Also happened in bios once. Sometimes I could boot successfully without getting artifacts and it stays like that until I use it. Going to return it to the store on monday, don't think I could have caused this.
What do you guys think?
And also I don't have my other motherboard available so I can't test the card on it. I am using my older video card on the new set-up and this one works just fine. I thought it might be the motherboard vrm since the card draws more power than this one so it enhances the effect or something.
The effect got gradually worse after each crash, at first it only happened on usage then it started happening on boot / in bios.
Power supply: Cooler Master G750M
Anyways images for you guys so you know what I'm talking about
Basically, video card stopped responding and was restored.
