Question idk what is wrong with my gpu

[core2314567]

so i got a pc a few days ago and when i benchmarked it it was fine then when i tried to play the finals it does this weird lines then the gpu restarts so i went to the guy i bought the pc from so he changed some power cable and he benchmarked it then i went to another guy who ran heaven benchmark for about 20 mins and it seemed fine then i went home and its still happen for contex its an xfx rx570 8gb what i suspect that the heat is doing this it reaches around 88-90 and i tried to change the thermal peast on the gpu but it really didnt help i wanna know if the gpu is fried

Understood. How old is it?

Does removing it from the equation resolve the issues previously noted?

i just bought it

come to think of it this didnt happen if i just whatch you tube or like non gaming but when i open a bunch of app and a game it happen so maybe its consming toomuch power that the power strip isnt handling

Most power strips are pretty dumb devices. The power draw is more likely the outlet you are attaching the power strip too.

It can also be a symptom of a failing PSU or some other heat and/or power issue. That is why I suggested a different outlet and plugging directly into the socket for testing.

so the psu does this buzzing noise is it normal

It is a loud sound, or a low electronic hum?

low electronic hum

Not necessarily a problem. Many PSUs do this. Still, that is an old component. PSUs do degrade over time.

so it crashed and the amd app said its a driver timeout but i did a ddu before and this time i put dirictly it in the same plug that i put the power strip in so i will try a diffrent plug

Yes, try a different outlet. Hopefully one on a different circuit than the original outlet.

ok isnt there any psu testing software

i wanna send you what happens but i cant send pic

Not really. To test really requires a hardware tester.

You can use tools like HWMONITOR to see some info, but it won't actually test the PSU.

You post pictures by uploading images to a site like imgur.com and then posting a link to the image here.

That looks like a power issue with the GPU, or a defective GPU.

Do you have access to another GPU that you could swap into your system for testing?

no i dont so it cant be the psu

it doesnt do this in the game no when i finsh the game and go to the main menu it happens

Yes, it could be the PSU. By testing the GPU, you isolate the possible problem.

can i solve it tho

i benchmarked the hell out of this gpu its not the problem

The image indicated the issue is likely the GPU and/or the PSU. Isolating is how you verify the issue.

So it happened again but I think it's the psu Bec when I went to the guy I bought it from he tested heaven benchmark for a good 20mins and nothing happened my theory is I am playing the game with both the cpu and gpu so the power draw is higher so the psu freaks out and shuts but what do you recommend I do

 

[COLGeek]

I think if it works 100% properly elsewhere, that the problem is your power source in your home, as originally suggested. Bad wiring, poor voltage stability, etc.

And it crashed when I was in the main manu afk so it probably over heats

Oh so am done for I will try another plug this may work in another room
