Basically this is the problem: computer froze while simply browsing chrome and before the screen went black I could see dots and lines on the screen, after the restart it launched with "microsoft basic display adapter" and a lower resolution and it did not crash, after restarting it launched with my GPU again and after about 20 minutes it crashed again and restarted with the microsoft display and I left that running for a few hours with no crashes at all so as I understand it only happens when it uses the GPU/nvidia drivers or so it seems
I haven't touched anything inside my computer or updated the drivers since march 5 which is the last time I updated my GPU
What I tried so far: 1) Reseat the GPU in the second slot and replace all the monitor/power cables and the cmos battery as well 2) I ran DDU in safe mode to do a clean unistall of all nvidia drivers and installed again this time with the latest version as well but same problem
I am just not sure what is wrong and I only assume my GPU is done for would like to hear some opinions maybe there is something else I can try or is this surely the GPU? if it helps I have my card for just over 5 years I believe it is the GTX 960 and my motherboard is ASROCK AB350 Pro4 and was bought 2 and a half years ago
just to mention one more thing, it did work for 2 hours this morning with the GPU and then it froze while I was playing runescape... so I am in the microsoft display once again
