Is it possible to use event viewer for graphics card error diagnostics?

[borko3fkovix]

I'm suspecting that my graphics card is faulty (it keeps crashing half of the games i play) but im not sure, and i cant get around the event viewer, so could i see what happened at the crash or something like that? Thanks in advance.

There should be some event logged related usually under "Application" or under "System", however if you suspect it's your GPU stress test it with Furmark and enable it's log, this way you can review after the crash (if it happens) whether it's an overheating issue or a defective card.

Its definetly not overheating, it has 2 fans and never goes over 60C(i monitor it always when im playing). I have 3dmark. Could that do? Or must i furmark? Also how long should i let it run?
Also, there are bunch of these warnings in event viewer "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

Yeah 3DMark it's good too, use the GPU test only though and leave it run the whole set of tests.

EDIT: evidently the video card drivers are crashing, see how the 3dmark test goes, if it fails try reinstalling the AMD drivers using DDU to properly uninstall them and then see if the problem goes away. Otherwise could be a defective card or a faulty PSU, which PSU do you have btw?

Ive tried reinstalling drivers at least 20 times and didn't help anything. I will run 3dmark, see how that goes.
These are my whole specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/borko3fkovix/saved/MzfxFT

EDIT: Ok, it turns out i need to buy premium 3dmark to run gpu test. I've downloaded furmark. How long should i let it run?

At least 30min, better 1 entire hour.

Well i let it burn for 30 min. Nothing really happened. Temps didn't go over 70C.
I ran a preset test witch ended in a minute and i've got this score (not really sure what to do with that information): http://www.ozone3d.net/gpudb/score.php?which=56383

Well since the GPU test finished with no issues it seems like your GPU is ok, time to test the CPU with Prime95, leave it running 1-2 hours and also monitor it's temps while running the test.
