Hardware Hub GPU

my buddies pc is crashtastic lately
he took this photo
think the gpu is going out?

ps, the circle is a dead spot on the screen

he also said the white boxes are now red if that means anything
they ALWAYS look like that
when it crashes
screen goes totally black if I let it sit
sound distorts too
like eRRRRRRRRRRR

  • gpu is most likely stuffed - RMA it. could also be a shitty psu thats damaged it as well, or a bad overclock.
  • that dead spot is f*cked, your mate needs a new monitor, looks like a black hole that could suck him and the rest of us into oblivion.

Looks like issue with memory on GPU, artifacting ~ unless its TV/monitor that's broken.
