Able to operate computer normally until first millisecond of game or bench starting.
Black screen Gpu fans 100%. Can still hear HDDs working.
Temp 45 just before.
Tried - different monitor, changing ram, DDU for drivers reinstall. Reseated card. Nothing. Problem absent using onboard graphics.
Card problem.
Curiosity drove me to open it and I notice unusual oil residue under certain parts of heatsink (thefkisthat?) so wiped away and removed/reapplied thermal compound on gpu.
My thoughts now - I'm thinking it could be power draw issue. Whenever the card is asked to do a more power demanding task its either taking too much and shutting down to prevent damage and fans speed up to counter any heat rise which there doesn't seem to be any. Or Gpu not receiving any power and it's being sent wrongly to the fans.
not overclocked + bios defaults bought off ebay over a months ago no problems till now
600w psu
Anything I can try? Thanks
