Is my graphics card dying already?

[IceBleu]

Hello,

So I just recently built a new pc in July. Everything went fine and has been going great until recently. I just got Black Desert Online and have been having issues with it crashing and it crashing my pc. Well it doesn't crash my pc it crashes my Microsoft windows or I'm assuming my display or I could be wrong and that's why I'm here. It just started when I started playing BDO. I've played games like Far Cry, Skyrim, League Of Legends, etc and have never encountered this problem before but the thing is that it has even crashed without playing BDO but just once.

I just recently used DDU and did the basics and installed the latest drivers for my GPU which is EVGA 1050 TI SSC. I assumed that this would fix the problem as I think my driver was like 10 versions behind but I just did this and not 10 minutes later it crashes again.

Hoping someone can shine some light on my problem and help me fix it.

Your specs are incomplete. List the additional info like so:
SSD/HDD:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

Are you on the latest motherboard BIOS revision? Any overclocks? How about your case airflow and CPU thermals?

Ok, I've updated the post.
No, I do not overclock anything.
Airflow should be positive airflow and should be decent as CPU temperature was at 51 after about 5-6 hours of use.
Not sure if I am running the latest BIOS version on my mobo... not sure really how to check.

1) run Memtest86 for a full pass www.memtest86.com (USB stick method.. go into BIOS to boot to USB stick)

2) if fine, shut down and remove video card, connect monitor to motherboard to use Intel iGPU... test games, run FURMARK etc

3) If possible, test card in another PC

4) I doubt it's the PSU, but if you have one to swap that's good enough (PCIe power connector to GTX1050Ti) try that.

5) if you have a 60GB or larger spare SSD or HDD, then
a) prepare a W10 install USB stick (google W10 media creation tool.. go to site, download and create stick..)

b) have login e-mail + password ready (need it to install W10)
c) shut down and UNHOOK other HDD/SSD drives
d) install W10 to spare drive
e) install game/benchmark that you know normally causes a crash

Other:
Does FURMARK, Unigine Valley, or other benchmark cause a crash? That would be the easiest thing to check
