Right. What would cause such a reaction in the 3070 though? I wasn't necessarily playing a demanding game at the time of it's death. It didn't just spontaneously go black screen and cause a GPU error unlike the 970, it was still alive to some extent albeit slightly crippled. Could it just be all...

You think so? I'm 100% certain the 970 was destined to die because of it's prior issue related to crashing and me having to underclock jt but I really don't understand the 3070's case. I guess I'll just have to be more careful with my purchases. Thank you for your reply.

Hello. I've had my MSI RTX 3070 VENTUS 3X OC fail in May of this year and my PALIT GTX 970 JETSTREAM fail last month. About the 3070: never ran hot, never was overclocked, was a mining card, was undervolted by me, lasted 6 months from purchase About the 970: ran hot, was underclocked because...

I think it's too late for that the pads fell apart and I threw them away anyway. I'll just send it in for repairs when I have the time and money. Kinda sucks because I probably could've RMA'd it had I not opened it.

Are you sure? The card never had any heat issues. That could be just debris. I never saw any flacky parts of the PCB. I don't think all that matters though because the card is still toast. I don't think contacting MSI will help me with anything as I've removed thermal pads to see the memory...

I did flash the vBIOS before and after sending it in to the local repair shop so it could be corrupted, unsure. I have a spare GTX 970 so I haven't really been making fixing the card my priority but it's been laying collecting dust so I'm just thinking if it's worth repairing or not. I guess...

The big question is it even worth repairing? I can't RMA the card since I'd have to contact the original shop the first owner bought it from but I don't have any proof of purchase from the first owner and also I broke the factory seal and removed some thermal pads. If it's really that bad should...

You think so? Do cards usually show those values despite there being no drivers installed? Could it be a faulty vBIOS causing this?

Should this be a cause for concern? There's a mark on my chip. View: https://imgur.com/D2Rh5d3

Hello. I've encountered an issue with my GPU a couple of months ago where after playing a game (CS:GO) I've encountered bugged textures but thought nothing of it because it's a source game. But then my 2nd monitor started blinking black and I've reinstalled the drivers and ever since then the...

Nevermind, booting into the BIOS version of my USB gave me the chance to reinstall windows. Cheers

Hello, I have an issue with my OS not being able to boot as it's throwing up a BSOD with the "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" error. I reckon it must've been me uninstalling a wrong driver as I forgot which oem.inf number the correct one had. I'm unable to sfc it I'm unable to dism it (I've tried both...

Update: Seems like the GPU is messed up. Tried a new PC and it also did error 43. Guess this is GG's

Thank you for your help but I've already tried that. Same issue persisted. Error 43 in Device Manager and while installing drivers it'd either black screen or nothing would happen. I'll be trying a different PC and seeing how that ends up. Maybe it is time for me to completely format my PC as...
