Hey guys,
So my 4-5 years old Gainward GTX 650 Ti Boost has been working perfectly for the past years, but last month when I was playing Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition the problem first occured. After playing for a while the screen suddenly went black, and fans started spinning loudly.
At first I didn't pay much attention to it as I thought it was too much to handle for my 650. Some weeks have passed and I could play League of Legends with my friends for a while, but now after 4-5 minutes of gaming (after any kind of games) the same problem occurs. Even though my screen goes black I can still hear my friends on TeamSpeak and they can hear me too, but I'm too concerned that my computer will melt down so I shut it down quickly.
As it turns out my GPU fans are not spinning at all, until the overheating occurs. When I boot up my computer it spins for about 1 second then stops.
After dusting and spinning it manually, I tried using Gigabyte OC Guru II to start the fans, but as it turns out according to GPU-Z the fan speed % is actually changing but the RPM still stays at 0.
I'm hoping to find a temporary solution as the new nvdia series is coming out in March, so I could upgrade to a 1070 way cheaper than I could now. But 3 months without gaming?
