Question Games crash on startup, GPU doesnt give an output untill i reconnect my monitor

[HerrToaster]

Hello everyone,

I now have my pc for roughly a year and suddenly its not able to process any GPU related data anymore (e.g. Games, Benchmarks (DirectX and OpenGL), etc.). I was fully able to do these things before ~1,5 weeks.
As soon as i now try to start anything gaming/benchmarking related the program crashes (without a crash report) with weird hieroglyphes showing up all over the lit parts of the screen (see picture) and after a few seconds my GPU stops giving a video output, sending my monitor into a standby <-> power on loop until I re-connect the monitor to the GPU. After a monitor-reconnect i can see my desktop again and use it again normaly (exept games etc.). Those programs crash but everything else is completely normal.

• all my drivers are on the latest version
• have reinstalled them with DDU
• never got this particular problem before

Google drive link to the picture as its not allowing me to insert it

I apologize for any mistakes, english is not my first language.

Ill try to answer questions as quickly as possibe.

You're not supposed to be using a VS series PSU anywhere near or in a computer. I'd look at the artifacting as the sole cause of a faulty PSU. Perhaps you can confirm this doubt with the use of a reliably built, branded PSU that you can borrow from a friend or neighbor.

Swiched the PSU, still got the same result. Looks like i need to send in my graphics card.

Yep seems like a VRAM error. A similar thing occurred on the 2080ti's
