How to Troubleshoot and Fix a Faulty GPU

Your graphics card (or GPU) is the engine of your gaming PC. Without a GPU, you may as well be clonking together two stones for entertainment instead of playing on your gaming PC. If your GPU stops working, it can feel like disaster but we have a bunch of fixes to help you out.

Been looking everywhere for what could be the problem with my PC. I finally decided it had to be the graphics card. The first porblem you mentioned describes EXACTLY whats happening with my PC. Thanks for the video!

i got an Rx 570 and it will Startup but in 7 to 10 sec it will crash and turn and to black screen what could be the problem?

How about random black artefacts that don’t take up whole space on screen and disappear quickly last 2 seconds. There are no green lines. Some times they take 20% of screen space. Like black areas (large pixel effect) is this GPU issue? I have RTX 3090

Hey, if red dotted artifacts is appearing on screen and the GPU doesn't show up in device manager, isn't that pretty much 100% chance of it being dead?

Hi. I have a brand new RTX 3050. My problem is that it freezes during a few seconds during gaming. It stops working, then when a few seconds passes every action done in the game during those seconds happens inmediatly and keeps working. Sometimes this happens every 5 minutes, some times every minute.

I got a 1070 and upgraded to a 3090. Worked for all of 5 min and then now it artifacts all the time. But when I put the 1070 back it then it works completely fine. Anyone know what is wrong?

[IGoProEVERYTHING]

is it my GPU or MB? My PC was in a flood of a few inches getting in it. I replaced the PSU which is located on the bottom and the PC would not boot. After removing the GPU the PC booted up just fine. Is there any test to KNOW it is safe to plug in a new GPU?
