    Question GPU failure - black screen, fans 100% ?

    BTW, it took me over 2 months, but eventually Gigabyte replaced my card with a new one (it was under warranty). My conclusions are: This was a 100% graphics card issue, since now that it was replaced with a new one, I had no issues at all. Gigabyte warranty sucks. They did everything they could...

    Question GPU failure - black screen, fans 100% ?

    Hi, My GPU is failing under load. When I launch a game or any other GPU-intensive program after a few seconds my monitor turns black and GPU fans turn 100%. The rest of the PC works fine since my friends can still hear me through discord. I've found many different suggestions on how to deal...
