Hello,
I bought a used 1060 3gb Asus OC model for a good price on eBay about a week ago to upgrade from a 750 ti. It was working perfectly but Suddenly in some games I play I am getting black screen crashes after about 15-30 mins. The display on the monitor goes black with the gpu fan speed going high. I can still hear windows and game audio but I must turn off my pc to get back to windows. I at first thought the graphics card overheated but after monitoring my temperatures while gaming I am getting between 60-70 degrees which should be standard for gaming . I was just playing a game and I saw a tiny bit of artifacting and then this problem happened again. I am assuming it’s either.
Any ideas for what I should try to fix this?
Specs if they can help:
i7 3770
12gb DDR3 RAM
GTX 1060 3gb OC
Asus h61 MOBO
120gb boot ssd
640gb Storage hdd

- My PSU (It is an unbranded 500w psu) Maybe it isn’t delivering enough power
- my gtx 1060 overheated (which I don’t think it did) but I can replace thermal paste and check.
