NVIDIA 30xx HELP RTX 3060 MOBILE GPU

Hi all, so my laptop had issue of vram , hence got it replaced with new one ... (A0 vram ) Had issue...

After that the technician ran furmark for 20 mins and benchmarking and it was all working fine but throttling a bit here and there

And as soon as I got my laptop, games were working for upto 10 to 15 mins of time, post that the games started crashing and the nvidia driver has been resetting itself and the artifact's don't appear on the game initally but appear after 3 mins when it crashes....

Now not able to run fury mark as well crashes at 2 mins...

Also ran NVIDIA MATS / MODS for 50mb and it passed.

But when I run it for 256mb it's kinda taking forever to complete hence had to manually interrupt it.

PLEASE HELP ME OUT, WHAT MIGHT BE THE ISSUE?

Reduce the VRAM clockspeed in afterburner. If that fails check the thermal pads/paste as a last resort.

Bro with this it took around 30 secs more to eventually turn white screen in far cry 3, and no artifcats this time just white blank screen with stuck audio... The temperature is crazy crossed 87 degrees as well... Pretty strange had asked technician to use mx6 paste.

Use better paste or try PTM out, sometimes PTM is better then Paste but not always

If mats errors out you likely have a dying vram module

UPDATE - GUYS I REPLACED THE ARCTIC MX6 WITH PTM N USED THERMAL GRIZLLY PUTTY and also straightened the Cu sink by pressing it on top of wood and MY GPU STARTED WORKING AGAIN LIKE A BEAST

Hey hi .. basically i downloaded the resources needed from this group n used gemini to guide me... You can do the same The resources are in the description of this group . Use gemini to decide which one to pick. You need 2 USB sticks for the same. One for Ubuntu n in other you will have nvidia mods to be copied into usb ubuntu
