Imo I'd snag a cheap b550 board and a ryzen 3600 on Amazon, literally will run any game you want perfectly, but doesn't have integrated graphics. If your gpu is 13 years old, your best off upgrading to a new card, a lot of them are coming down in price close to MSRP. anyways, if your entire...

Maybe cooling issue, if the fans are working see if you can take apart the GPU and clean it/reapply thermal paste.

Sounds like a PSU issue maybe, but also could be just a broken GPU since you got it secondhand. Try updating your GPU drivers too.

Your temps are good if it reaches only 81C under load and 35C on idle. 98-99C is too hot but as long as your under 90-95C your good.

If you have a dedicated graphics card make sure you plug in your monitor connections into the graphics card, and not the motherboard. If not, also make sure your monitor has power. Also how old is your monitor and computer?

That's probably your culprit. Aercool PSUs are usually cheaper, but from what I heard they aren't great. Just get a decent 550=600w PSU from a reputable brand like SeaSonic, EVGA, Corsair, even ASUS has some decent ROG power supplies.

Oh it could have been just an update, if it happens again make another post. As long as temps are fine and everything running as expected I wouldn't worry about it.

Install NVIDIA GeForce Experience and install NVIDIA drivers for your 1050 Ti. If that doesn't work try reseating your card.

Your temps are perfectly fine, there's only an issue when GPU temps exceed 80C+ If you want to overclock watch a guide for your card and go up in small increments while stress testing. GPU overclocking can damage your card if you overdo it, its up to you if you want to OC but the performance...

Are you sure your GPU overheated? A lot of times if a GPU is overheating it wont just turn off but rather thermal throttle so it doesn't damage itself, unless your temps jumped to 100C+ then that's a huge issue, but unlikely. Could be PSU? Also could be CPU overheating. Maybe run some stress...

Stupid, but you might have your display connections connected to your motherboard rather than your GPU. What's your PSU brand, and what are the temps of your GPU and CPU? Might be something wrong and could be thermal throttling? Also remove the G.Skill ripjaws and see what happens. Could always...

If you can get a 3060+ for MSRP or near than it is definitely worth upgrading, but you'll be fine for now with a 1060 6gb. Also it probably would be a good idea to upgrade your CPU for now and waiting for cards to come back into stock and selling your mobo/cpu. I'm pretty sure older intel...

Could be your monitor, make sure your installing drivers with experience, and not just drivers you found on the web. If your computer works fine w/o GPU drivers installed, it doesn't make too much sense unless your installing broken drivers.

Different cooling, different environment, etc, 57C is astronomically low and 75c+ is more in-tune with what normal temps with normal usage looks like in a normal case.

72-85ish degrees is completely normal for GPU usage. I wouldn't recommend pinning your fans to 100% because that just wears them down, but also its loud. I wouldn't worry about these temps for normal videogame usage. There starts be issues at 90c+ but before then I wouldn't worry too much. If...
