Question Help With A 2060??

[FrostyLaws]

So I bought a GPU off a good friend of mine who had literally just built his PC like 5-6 months ago. He had the wonderful privilege of getting a GPU from the Kansas City Micro Center and we got together and built the PC and I have had a PC that has worked great for 2-3 years now so I felt pretty confident we put together a good rig. I believe it was working fine for a bit but after while, we realized we couldn't run a lot of games like Apex even at the lowest settings as possible. It will crash just about any game except Valorant or CSGO (which are more CPU extensive from what I understand) and reboot the entire PC after x amount of time. I'm trying to get this working so I could sell my old rig and have an upgraded system. Here are his specs:
Ryzen 5 5600X CPU
Asus X570 tuf gaming plus (Wi-Fi) motherboard
Corsair Vengeance RBG 16 GB 3200MHZ
1Tb 970 Samsung EVO M.2 Drive
Asus 2060 EVO OC Edition
EVGA Supernova 650 GT 650 W (System only requires about 380 W according to Wattage calculators)
Corsair 5000X Case

I have tried just about everything I have seen from SEVERAL forums. As far as the GPU itself, I have tried underclocking, Overclocking, doing minor increments in memory and/or boost clock, everything that the ASUS GPU Tweak II could offer including the OC Scanner. I even tried to ditch that all together and try MSI Afterburner and even that didn't work. I've tried to use DDU and completely reinstall drivers multiple times, checked for any compatibility issues between the CPU and any components of the build and I am getting desperate because nothing I'm trying is working. I've checked the RAM and it passed the MemTest with flying colors for a whole night. I think the only thing I haven't done because frankly, I don't feel totally comfortable with it is changing the VBios because the one for my particular model of GPU isn't verified by TechPowerUp.com. I have even tried running it on my build which I have an 850 W PSU and it still crashed. Please... I just want this thing to work. If anyone has any ideas that are not, "Run Heaven or Cinebench and check temps (they stay at like 57 or so, and for benchmarks, they work fine but games they do not)" I AM ALL EARS. No matter what game I play whether that be Apex, Rainbow Six Siege, Fortnite, literally anything, it'll load the game and I may be able to play for 3 minutes if I'm lucky and then the whole PC restarts and I'm right back where I started. If you have any questions please ask and will very willfully supply any additional information. Thank you.

What you are describing is either thermal or power related. Since you have a good PSU it's more likely to be thermal but the power issues need to be investigated as well.

Run userbenchmark and post the link to the results here. It's better if you restart the system, let it idle for 5 mins and then with everything else closed, run it.

Install hwinfo, open it in sensors mode and check the 12v , 5v , 3,3v rails max and min values which they should be within 5%. Also check the CPU and GPU temps. Open the game you want and after 1 min check those temps.

Cinebench CPU Max temp: 79

Gpu temp maxed out at 73 and stayed there at max settings for two benchmarks. I didn't see see anything on the voltage that was crazy, it look like it stayed in those ranges you said. GPU voltage is .712 V idk if that matters or not.

i cant open games long enough to check temps unfortunately :/ its very inconsistent on when I can stay long enough and cant. I have noticed that when my PC is done a benchmark and is like hot, it stays on longer but the screen has this weird wave effect that does from top to bottom and ruins the experience.

Back to basics. Different cable, different port, different monitor (TV maybe?) . After that, another GPU in your system or your GPU in another system.

So, I contacted NVIDIA and they said that it might be a fault card and to contact Asus (the brand of the GPU) so that is actually my next step but if for some weird legal reason they say, "sucks to suck" then ill try something like that. got nothing else to lose
