so recently while playin bf4[20 minutes into the game] my screen turns some random colour and crashes...task manager wont open as the screen just freezes so i have to reobot again..this happened several times on bf4....i ran the furmark test and right when the gpu load reaches 100% the crash happens again..........PLZ HELP!
my specs are
MOBO-asus m5a97 evo
CPU-amd fx-6300
RAM-corsair vengeance 4gb><2 sticks-1600 mz
GPU-his iceq r9 270x 2gb
PSU-corsair cx600
you sure....did this happen to you?
freezes when the graphics card gets to load is 100% likely your graphics card failing.
if it were the powersupply the pc would have powered down. cpu/ram problems would cause crashes or bluescreens.
the colored screen and the freezing must be graphics card related because other broken parts would show other symptoms.
What kind of temperatures do you get with your GPU as it's about to crash?
It depends. Thats like asking how long a piece of string is. Gpus can handle temps up to 100c.
Are you overclocking your card? I know iv experienced similar things happen before when i was overclocking a card too high. Randomly during a hardware-intense game i.e skyrim or bf3 etc, my game would freeze, then the screen would go black, the monitor would then display all sorts of funky colors and go all pixelated for a brief few seconds. I wouldnt be able to ctrl-alt-del out of it so i would just restart.
This only happened when overclocking. If i restored the card to its defaults, then the problem would not persist.
thats wat is happening exactly but i have never overclocked my card...this can happen under any load not just 100%..sry for the misinfo..i am thinking of RMA'in the card.Should i go for it? I have read in another forum that it has sumtinn do with 2d clock and 3d clock...if so let me know
sry for the misinfo....it could happen at any load not particularly 100%
it stays normal around 70-80 while playing bf4........but sudden spikes till 100 on furmarlk with 4x anti aliasing
70-80 is warm but should still be ok. Furmark is meant to roast gpus, so I wouldn't go off that completely.
