Hey guys, I need your help. (And sorry for the bad english)
I have a 3-years-old MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X (6GB), since about 6 months ago, I have a weird issue, basically 3 or 4 times every day, and not especially when gaming (sometimes I'm not even using the PC) the screen turns black for a second. When I'm on a fullscreen game it usually causes it to crash, I've seen the Event Log and it only says "nvddmkm stopped working". I was thinking maybe it is a PSU issue, but then realized it's not happening only at a huge power load. I reinstalled Windows + reinstalled drivers with DDU and the problem still happening. I have read that is maybe a Corsair iCue problem but I uninstalled it and nothing.
Also, sometimes I can see artifacts on the screen, I took a screenshot of it (I think maybe if it shows up on the screenshot, that means it's not GPU related, but anyway).
And my specs:
Gigabyte X570, Ryzen 5 3600, EVGA 500W from 2013, 2x8 Hyperx Fury 2400Mhz (not exactly the same models but dual channel is working), Samsung 860EVO 500GB + WD Blue 1TB
I think the GPU is dying slowly, but I'd like to confirm that
