Graphics Card Problems

[thetylero]

I am having some serious issues with my GPU. It is working, and has the latest drivers, but it isn't doing anything when I start up my games or anything.

Netflix is pixely, and the system seems to lag a quite a bit sometimes(GPU related? Idk, it was at least worth mentioning)

Any suggestions?

Take a look at your GPU temp? Overheating of it can cause the symptoms you describe.

The temperature has stayed the same the whole time, and doesn't change no matter what I do.

The temperatures are also the same as they were idle before I had this problem.

What are the temps? Also, what are the cpu temps?

Otherwise, need to be systematic. Try a different video cable to the monitor, and make sure not near any power cables. If still happening, try the monitor on another computer, and the computer with a different monitor to isolate the issue. Also try swapping the GPU.

Ambient temperature of give or take a few 85F
with idle of around 100F - 105F

CPU temps are hovering in the mid to high 90sF

That is a high CPU temp. Is the cooler working?

Try vacuuming out the dirt, and changing the thermal paste.
