not sure if it's a problem with the GPU or the OS but I'll give it a try

So this morning the computer works fine, I was playing gta iv when suddenly a BsoD pops out. it was because of the video_tdr_failure or something like that, which says about nvlddmkm getting problems. after 5 hours of tampering, trials, and errors (also there's a few-seconds power outage somewhere in the middle of that 5 hours) now everytime I tried to game after 5-30 minutes BsoD would appear, the last one before this text is about video_scheduler_internal_error.
I'm really tired of trying everything the internet has to offer. That includes : virus checking (no result), registry cleaning, SFC (said my pc was fine), DISM, CCleaner, reinstalling drivers and stuff, furmark benching just to spot artifacts (none), retesting with some games, wiggling cables and the GPU itself inside my pc, and some more. Now it's night and I as a human needs to get some rest, but fortunately the system wants to joke around.

I have grown tired of trying. The GPU is just over 2 weeks old, and the rig itself too. In my place it's not easy to claim warranty of this gpu. The only things I haven't try are : power off and unplugging the main powering cable, fresh install windows, and bringing the pc to mechanics.
the last option isn't that preferable since everyone is basically indian tech support scammer with more homelandish look.

I'm no technician but I can tell this is either the GPU or the OS. I need help quick, I don't want my money to vanish just like that, in here a 1050 ti costs around $170 converted, which is bs.

I need professional help, but don't expect me to understand some nerdy programming stuff regarding the pc. Thanks for reading this long anyways :)

I never clock my rig, all parts of it

TL;DR : video_scheduler_internal_error, pc got possibly rekt, plz help

Sorry for the possibly uncomplete English, it's not my main language.

specs :
Win 10 64 Bit
2x4Gb Corsair RAM
Inno3D GTX 1050 Ti Single Fan
I5 4440
Mobo GA-H81M-S2PH
1TB Seagate Barracuda SATA 2
Dell U2412M 24 inch 1920x1200
PSU Bigfoot H500G

HEELLPPP!

EDIT : I have seen an anomaly which is when Furmark is launched and runned it would say the GPU is 47 degrees hot after 5 seconds, but when I open MSI afterburner STRAIGHT AFTER the furmark it still says 40 degrees. I have no more time to deal with this so I'll leave this for the night + school (around 18 hours)

EDIT 2 : So I have been noticing, every single time before the crash when I'm gaming there's a load of purple/red/white squares popping out, and then not a second after that it freezes, sometimes with a seizure-inducing flash of color boxes before a BsoD. What does this mean?
 


I have the urge to test the 9600 gt myself rather than waiting for my friend/
9600GT..... well for any valve games which uses the source engine there doesn't seem to be any crashes.

but then when I tried world of tanks blitz this happened :

Now, I don't know if this is from the game or the pc, since the steam overlay right there is untouched, I'll try to see if this is from the game, but if it's not, then the problem should be pretty clear : cpu
 


Same with HD Graphics, but I have found out that that error is from the game. I reinstalled the game and everything ran normally, with both 9600gt and hd graphics.

maybe it is the 1050 ti after all, I'll try that gpu again after I have time to, I've downloaded unigine valley too, my friend says that it's good for benchmarking and testing since it's basically a game
 


tested both unigine valley and 3dmark time spy, and both results were great. sadly when I was cache cleaning I forgot to save the links, but I could assure you both were doing just fine. yesterday with the 2500% fan speed it is (read below)

now I finally get something when I was tampering with gpu-z and msi afterburner : the fan runs so slow. I don't know why but it says 44% at 44 rpm. that's strange as hell, usually fans run at more than 2000 rpms. yesterday after I was cleaning the 1050 ti (it gets a bit dusty after home renovation) I tested it out again, and surprisingly when I play bf1 the rivatuner thing shouws that my fan is running at 2500% speed, maybe indicating 2500 rpm. but just today it's back to 100% (I maxed the fan out), or 100 rpm (according to msi afterburner). that's slow as hell. do you have an idea how could that happen? now I finally know that all this problems were just the gpu overheating and not showing correct temps, but I haven't been able to fix this, only magically yesterday it's going at "normal" speed.

update : too lazy to edit the above so I'll just add it here. I looked at the wrong graph in msi aft, sorry, but because of that things gets even weirder. msi afterburner didn't even detect my fan's rpm. it's constantly showing 0 rpm for some reason. any fix to this?

this graphics card has a zero fan feature, if the card is lower than like 60°C, the fan won´t spin at all. That´s not a problem, it´s normal behaviour.
If the fan still doesn´t spin while playing a game and the temperature will rise above 60°C, the fan controller or fan itself is faulty.
 

hmm, it's spinning. so maybe it's just a gpu with no fan rpm detector?

anyways, after I reverted back to the 1050 ti from the 9600gt the artifact problems had gone away 😀
must be some kind of loose socket in the mobo or something, anyways i'm glad it's gone.
