I've read all of the threads for this card and the many similar issues others have faced. None of the solutions offered have helped, and I'm outside the warranty period on the card.
My GPU gives out whenever I try to play a game. I've swapped PSUs, checked the RAM, and I've monitored temperatures for both the CPU and GPU under load. I've done clean Windows installs, used the utilities to uninstall my graphics drivers and start fresh from the manufacturer's site, and I've tried heavily underclocking with no success.
My situation is unique in that my problems only started when I transitioned to Windows 10. Perhaps it's a coincidence, but my first crash was the same night I moved to the new OS. I've since done full driver upgrades on everything, limited the connected devices, and everything else listed above. The problem was originally solved temporarily by slightly underclocking, but has worsened since the Windows 10 Anniversary update this week. I can no longer use the card at all (in game) on this update, even with no other devices connected to the PC and all drivers up to date.
Some points of reference: the crash doesn't occur at any specific temperature point. The lowest it has occurred is at 60C on GPU and 45C on CPU. It occurs after a few minutes anytime the GPU is put under load. I've stressed tested with different underclocking options with the crash still being toggled after a few minutes.
I don't have another PC to test the card in. I do have some thermal paste on the way and I plan to replace the paste in both the CPU and GPU, but I'm skeptical it will fix the problem. It doesn't seem to be completely linked to temperature.
Thanks in advance for your help.
