Question GTX 1060 problem

[ltpedropaiva]

Hi all, i've been having a problem with my GTX 1060 6gb.

Sometimes, mostly when idle, it does something weird, i think it is crashing.

My audio stutter and my monitor receives no signal for a few seconds.

Sometimes it doesn't come back, sometimes it does, sometimes it restarts the computer by itself.

I'll upload a log file from GPU-Z so I can show you guys something.

In the end where the clock goes all the way up (which is normal when playing games, as I saw somewhere the GPU does that to save power) is when the "crash" happens.


If someone could help me with this, i'll be happy

Please, kindly provide PC specs. Provide as much info as you can to narrow down this issue. Can you play games on that GPU, without crashing ?

-1. "Complete" system specs should ALWAYS be accompanied with any driver, hardware, or performance question. Do not post DXDiag reports as they contain a TON of useless information. Posting a DxDiag in place of a System Spec List tends to ward off potential members from helping you.

Please supply the following system details/information:

(Complete System Specs)
-CPU make and model# (clock speed/voltage, type of cooler, and "Core" temperature @ idle and load)
-Motherboard make & model# (include Bios version if graphics card is not recognized or you are having stability issues)
-RAM (amount, clock speed, model#/link of kit, configuration)
-Graphics card(s) make and model# (clock speed, voltage if modified, Driver version and GPU temp both @ idle and load)
-Power supply make,model#, "AND" age (note if using 110V or 220V A/C input)
-HDD/SSD configuration (ie: Raid setup/ back up/ OS drive/etc..)
-Case/Chasis make,model# (fan make, model#, and configuration if having thermal issues)
-Operating System (If using Windows note Framework and service pack version)
-Monitor make, model#, and resolution (If model# is unknown list resolution and refresh rate)

*If the unit is a "laptop" or "All-in-one" system you must note the make and model# of the unit. Be sure you are ALWAYS using the OEM/manufacturer's Driver updates for the unit.

*If "Crashing":
-Note the nature of the "crash" in detail, as there are several definitions for the word "crash".

*If "performance" related issue:
-Note the "exact" point in which the performance reduction occurred (ie: After Windows update, After Bios update, After Driver update, After thermal system shutdown, After Hardware change/upgrade etc...)

*For diagnostic purposes please disable the following:
-Any/all Antivirus/ Anti-malware software
-Any/all OSD monitoring software
-ALL overclocks outside of factory spec .

Okay, can you first try booting the system, by using the motherboard's iGPU ? The board has support for an VGA output I think. Remove the GTX GPU first. If your system is stable without the video card, then we can narrow down this issue.

 

[ltpedropaiva]

Yeah, i can, and the system is stable

 

[Metal Messiah.]

Yeah, i can, and the system is stable

OK. Are you fully sure about this ? Because, if the PC is stable without the GPU, then most probably there might be some fault with the Video card. To further isolate this issue, can you check the GPU on some other PC ? It would also help if you can use some other PSU as well, just to troubleshoot this issue.

How OLD is the GTX 1060 ? Have you also tried doing a CLEAN re-install of the Nvidia GPU drivers, by using the DDU tool, or otherwise ?

I'm trying right now reinstall the drivers, i'll try testing it on another PC also, but unfortunatly I can't do that today.

Oh, and it's about an year old

Not a problem. Please take your own time. There is no hurry whatsoever.
