I have a problem with my Asus GTX 970 strix that I bought used yesterday. When idle the clock speed is at the max boost clock of 1253MHz. Whenever I start a game or a stress test the clock speed drops to ~600MHz. If I increase the power target in Asus GPU Tweak II, it stays at ~800MHz. I changed the thermal paste and under load my temps don't go above 42
Also, when I try to play Skyrim, after only about 2 minutes both of my monitors go black and I get earraped because the sounds completely <Mod Edit> up too. Then I have no option but to just hold down the powert button until the pc shuts off.
The previous owner had none of these problems. Yes, I can trust him and he has tried to help me solve these issues.
Things I have tried:
-Deleting the display drivers (including PhysX) using DDU and installing the latest game ready driver.
-Setting the power management mode in nvidia control panel to prefer maximum performance.
-Using the debug mode in nvidia control panel.
-Making sure all the cables are connected.
My system specs:
Intel I5 9400F
Asus prime h310 motherboard
16Gb 3200MHz DDR4
Corsair RM650 PSU
Asus GTX 970 Strix
Any help would be appreciated.
