Hello,

When im playing games my monitor will randomly go black and say no signal. I can still hear audio and can still talk on discord.
When I boot up for the first time each day I also get weird artifacts that take a few mins to go away
I have ruled out the monitor as I don't get this when i boot up first from my work desktop

I have tried using a new cable and plugged into a different port
I have used DDU to do a clean install of drivers
I have cleaned off any dust that gathered on the GPU and have reseated it
but the issue still continues
I have been monitoring HWmonitor
The GPU avg temp is 79c when im playing games
but it has a hotspot of 108c
Temps on other parts are all fine

The pc was prebuilt and is only just 2 years old
 
79C is pretty hot for a gpu. The memory may be overheating. You can use Msi Afterburner to create a custom fan curve to more aggressively cool your gpu. How is the venting of your case? Turning up the case fans could help a little but the gpu needs attention, either by fan adjustment or applying new cooling pads to the memory and new thermal paste to the gpu.

I've got the GPU fans on max. I have the case fans/h100i on balanced using Icue software.
The GPU is still in warranty so not sure on reapplying thermal paste/pads if that would void warranty. Would it be best to RMA it?
