yea just seems unfortunate for my first build i got a bad GPU, it was working perfectly for two weeks I was monitoring my temps and they were perfect then out of nowhere it started artifacting, booted using the motherboard integrated graphics and everything worked fine so it has to be a gpu problem.

After having my graphics card for two weeks it starting artificating and I returned it for a new one, this is my first build so I did my research but I think one mistake I did make was getting a mini motherboard instead of a full size one. Graphics card:Gigabyte - GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB...

Yea its my first build so it seems like im either super unlucky or something is wrong, but it working so well for two weeks then all of sudden artifacting is what makes minimal sense especially since I didnt run any graphically intense games and temps were never reaching high numbers

I returned it, Im just worried about something else being wrong since this happened so quickly, is a faulty GPU a common problem?

If its a memory problem a new ssd would fix it then?

Yea is this a common issue though? I was just concerned since it was working so well for two weeks and then out of nowhere this happened, I have examined everything about my build and I thought maybe the mini motherboard could have been a problem but I have heard nothing but good things about it.

My specs are as follows CPU Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler be quiet! - Dark Rock 4 CPU Cooler Motherboard Asus - ROG STRIX B360-I GAMING Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Storage Intel - 660p Series 1 TB...

works perfect when i take out graphics card, Im wondering if it was something I did or i just got unlucky with the graphics card, like i said I didnt over clock and made sure my temps stayed low

my monitor wont even detect the picture to let me boot into BIOS now to make the change.

Ill give that a try, I checked all the cables and they are all plugged in properly, I am just confused why it worked so well for two weeks then all of sudden stopped working

yea thats the one

I recently built my first computer and it was running perfectly for two weeks, I was monitoring temperatures, adding fans for airflow and watching everything closely to make sure it was set up right. Last night I was on it playing games and it was working perfectly fine with temperatures where...
