Last week I started getting BSODs (Uncorrectable hardware error - Stop 0x00000124) after playing some games for a while, at the time I suspected it was my GPU overheating (or CPU, but I monitor my CPU temps regularly and stop playing if they get over 70, so I don't think it was the CPU) which later proved not to be the case.
Lately, it started happening to me that while playing games the game crashes and I start getting artifacts in Steam, YouTube and in a game engine itself though at that point most games won't start, it stops after a restart.
So I decide to run a OCCT GPU test, immediately after the start of the test I got couple of errors and by the end there were 42345 errors, though in the report of everything at the end there are no errors. During the test my GPU hit 112 degrees (105 is Nvidia max ok temp) and I had no BSODs which is why I no longer think it crashes because of a GPU overheat. Is my GPU failing? Anyone have an idea what is going on?
Here are the pictures of the artifacts:
