Question anyone know how to fix GPU 0 - 3D keep turning on and off?

[someperson9]

This started when i was playing Minecraft and my fps suddenly dropped to 0, And i noticed that whenever my GPU 0 - 3D went off my frames drop the same time.

I have tried going in AMD Radeon setting and setting the exact file to always run GPU 0 - 3D,
I made sure to reinstall and check everything is up to date.

so any idea you got that i can try?

full system spec? include brand and model of the psu

cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
ram/ssd usage?

uses around 30-60% cpu, 20-40% gpu, 70-80%ram, 10-20%ssd.

That sort of junk, need to be recycled and not being used in a gaming PC.

would replacing it help with the GPU problem?

 

[dotas1]

It might or it might not. We really can't know if the terrible PSU has already damaged the GPU. In either way replacing the PSU should be your number one priority.

You need to have reliably powered system to diagnose any further issues.

It sounds like your saying it switches to the iGPU from the dGPU? When it does this is the GPU still recognised by Windows or does it disappear temporarily?

 

[someperson9]

well i cant do that at the moment so any other solution?

yes when looking in task manager it disappear from the gpu engine temporarily .

Unfortunately it sounds like it might be a hardware issue. It could be related to the PSU as @dotas1 suggests, does it come back when you restart the PC?

Also do you know the max temp the GPU gets to?

no clue what the temp gets to, and it goes in and of it regardless if i restart it.
and i think its more of a software issue as it only happens to specific games, and others it works fine.

I've only encountered this issue once and it was a hardware issue. It's interesting this only happens in certain games though, that would point to more of a software issue.

yeah which is why i think it is, as it happens to minecraft, and almost any other game it doesn't.

A good quality donor PSU would be nice to rule out yours (tho as said, you should get rid of it regardless). It's possible the PSU is not providing enuff power to the GPU.
Install and run HWInfo (free) and play the game. HWInfo will record minimum, maximum, and current temps and voltages that may help you confirm where the problem lies.
