First time poster, long time reader.
I think my graphics card may be dying. A week ago after about 2-5 minutes in a game my PC crashed with a black screen. Tried other games (No Mans Sky, Division 2, Destiny 2) and it kept crashing after about 2-5 minutes with either an all-black screen or a heavily pixilated screen with lots of white squares randomly around it with frozen audio. About half the time I could CTRL+ALT+DEL out and close the program, the other half of the time it would be frozen and I had to do a hard-reboot. On one crash where I got the black screen everything was black and I couldn't do anything, but I still had audio from the game.
Cleaned my case well and all the fans. Started running Open Hardware Monitor while playing to see if my card was overheating. Max temp it was getting to was 73C which should be fine. I've got a log from OHM but don't know how to add it to the post.
Is this a bad GPU? I had the most up to date drivers and also tried rolling the drivers back to an earlier version when it was working fine. I've heard it could also be the PSU but I've got no other power-related problems so I don't think it's that. GPU is a 1080ti that's still under warranty so I'm thinking of just RMAing it.
Thanks!
