[SOLVED] My GPU crashes 1-2 mins into every game. Any way to fix it?

[Bradox45]

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super
Cpu: Intel i5-9400F
Ram: 16GB
Motherboard: hp 8653 (my pc is prebuilt)
SSD: around 500gb but has low space left but i don’t think it has to to anything with this problem
BIOS: i have the newest version installed


Today I launched Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare. My pc suddenly shut of while i was streaming to twitch and i noticed my pc was very hot by feeling the warm metal case. I suddenly realized I had changed the position of my fan so I made sure the pc was of and switched it back as it was before. It worked but now, i cant even start a round in Call of duty and Hyper scape before my two monitors looses signal and just stays like that. Sometimes i hear a warning notification but i cant see it of course. I cant restart my gpu by the Win+CTRL+Shift+B shortcut. i know it’s restarting but i wont work. So i have to force the pc to shutdown with the power button or else if i just use the normal shutdown method with the button on the case and then start it up again then i just get a black screen with a line of pixels glowing up.

I have checked Event Viewer and the last warnings says: Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
What i have tried to do is:
Update windows
Check for driver update and reinstalling the driver since I already had the newest version
Check Event Viewer
Scan and Repair Call of duty (other games crash so it cant be the game files)
Restore graphics settings to default.

Is there anything i can do before i have to reset my pc (its just i have so much stuff to download afterwards and i dont have a drive to tranfser my documens. If not im going to reset the whole pc. My important documents are synced in cloud already

I tested it on my friends pc and my GPU is working totally fine.

check the psu power it might be not able to power the full system with thisgpu also hp use proprietary connector on there board so you will have to find one that will work in your system check on hp first .

Okay... Did you play a game or stress test it?

This is my understanding at this point:

---You installed the Graphics card and were able to play for a while without any problems
---One day while playing games it started crashing to the desktop and killed the video to the monitor
---It progressively got worse till yesterday when you turned on your computer (without touching any of the hardware) it suddenly started flickering like in the video while merely on the desktop.
---Most importantly your computer never fully restarted or shut down without you pressing the I/O yourself (This is the main reason I thought it might've overloaded.)

This all corresponds to a failing GPU. The PSU being the cause of a bad GPU is unlikely if the PSU didn't actually force a shut down or restart though. (some parts just die after a few months, that's why there's a few years of warranty.)

If that video you showed wasn't because of a failing GPU and you didn't touch the hardware in the past few days or something then... It could be alot of things but the most likely cause is your motherboard. The next step would be to get a graphics card and see if that works on your PC.

Try this:

Put your New 2060s in your PC. If nothing funky happens like in that video, trying gaming on it.

Put a different graphics card (I'm assuming there was an OEM graphics card with your PC.) into the same slot on your PC that the New 2060s is acting weird in. look for the same thing happening. Try gaming on it.

Assuming the New 2060s acts weird but your old graphics card does not (and you didn't stress test your new 2060s in your friends PC). I'd ask him for another favor: Bring your new GPU again and stress test it for a while in his PC.
