Hi, in 2022 I built my custom pc and recently I've noticed that my gpu blackscreens for no reason. It's like a flash it blacks out for a nanosecond. Today I wanted to check my hdmi port because my screen went black again and i noticed that the back of my gpu "vibrates". I turned off the game and it stopped vibrating. Do you know what might be the problem?
Specs:
Gpu:Rtx 3060ti msi gaming trio z
PSU: thermaltake toughpower 850w
MoBo:aorus b560 pro ax
 
A nanosecond? Like 10^-9? How you came up with that number, it would be so fast that no human could react or noticed. It's actually being theorized that you can survive in the bottom of the Mariana trench if the duration is only a nanosecond.

Ok, that was off topic - I simply couldn't resist adding some random facts :cool:

To the issue - if there is an abnormal vibration, yes - over time, dust and/or corrosive patches on contact point can in theory cause bad electrical contact with the motherboard. If you suspect this may be the case, a trivial solution is to simply re-seat the GPU into the motherboard. Also while the GPU are out, you can clean out some dust from the pcie contacts - but be very careful if using a vacuum cleaner and only use a plastic mouth piece - and other means to reduce the chance of esd taking place.

That vibration is due to a bad fan on your GPU more than likely.

Can you RMA it still?

The fans are working perfectly, and the vibration is electronics fault. It doesn't shock my finger it just feels like it's vibrating but it seems electric

Then it's some other component on the GPU.

You can either live with it, or get it replaced. The only reason I mentioned immediate replacement before, is because if a fan is going bad, you know what happens next.
