i just bought gtx 1060 for my main PC and put my old hd 7970 to my old PC to use it as secondary PC for the living room instead of collecting dust
the older pc specs :
i5 750 (stock speed)
GA-P55A-UD3R
hd 7970 ghz
8 gb ram
Antec EarthWatts GREEN 650W
windows 10
i tried to stress the system with prime95 and after few minutes it stop stressing some of the cores or all of them even (it goes from full load to 1% to 20% something like that) that is happening always in the "blend test" and "large fft" but the "small fft" test do stress the system as long as i keep it running ( i tried +12 hours with no problem)
there is no heating issues at all even under full stress system never goes above 70c
also i tried the pc with other PSU in case it had something wrong (cx600) and it had the same behavior
there are other things i think worth mentioning
i tried to install few games to test it out with the hd 7970 doom works perfectly with 80 - 120 fps on high sittings but gta 5 works for few minuets then crash
there is no heating on the cpu or the gpu i tried two different copy of gta 5 and both have the same problem (crashing after few minuets of playing with good 40 to 80 fps with high sittings)
both of gta 5 copys works fine on my main pc (6700k - gtx 1060)
also when i try to install a game or unrar it (gta 5 on both cracked copy and doom ISO file) it says there are missing files or currpted files (something like that) which wont happen if i install it or unrar it on other PC so i have to unrar or install the game on other pc then copy it to this PC (some games install or unrar just fine)
what could be the problem ? i dont want to spend more on it unless i have to
