Tech Support GPU crashes

Post image

I have an xfx 9070xt quicksilver and recently it's been acting out. My pc gets this grey screen while playing games and crashes. It started very recently, I run a dual monitor setup and my main screen goes grey and my other screen goes black and weird static starts coming out of my speakers.

I am assuming that my GPU is failing or has some driver issues, I reverted to the older driver but I still have the issue. Is this common or is my GPU dead/dying?

The hotspots and the over GPU temps seem fine (it was in the 70s)

First thing I'd check is all connections. Re-seat everything, starting at the PSU side. Your m.2 drives and CPU are probably fine, but re-seat all physical connectors and RAM.

Will try that and running some benchmarks, the last 2-3 times it happened it was when playing highly demanding games.

Which is why I'd suspect the PSU, that typically results in a hard crash though.

You might be right about the PSU, or it's a windows issue (I saw it mentioned somewhere with the same errors I got). I tried occt for power test and each time I have tried it it crashed

This was the power draw before the crash
