Hello!
I've been experiencing some weird issues that I can only attribute to my GPU. Essentially, during games (even non-intensive games,) my PC will occasionally freeze. The freezing will be accompanied by multicolored artifacts all over the screen and sometimes the audio will process as normal, especially voices on Discord, but other times the audio will stutter and cut to repeating white noise or something. This issue almost always requires a full forced shutdown of the PC to get back up and running.
After the issue presented itself last week, it has gotten more frequent, going from once or twice a day to every 7-15 minutes. I got MSI Afterburner to see if I could capture the issue and I have some screenshots of the results, but I fear that they're far from conclusive. They indicate that the voltage limit was reached right as the freeze began, and at that same moment all the cores of my CPU (and the GPU) spiked to 100% as well. However, upon investigating an occurrence when the game or PC did not crash, I saw that the voltage limit was reached at least 4 times with no apparent issue in performance.
Today was the first time that I experienced any kind of FPS drop. I opened Elden Ring and, while I have usually had 0 problems with FPS, I was consistently at about 16 even after turning down the graphics. Afterburner evidenced that that was too much for my poor GPU and it was maxing at 100% utilization.
For context, the specs of my PC include a Strix GTX 1080ti GPU and an Intel i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz.
Essentially, I'm looking to see if there's any possible fix for this but I fear that my GPU is just bad and I'll need a new one.
Let me know if any other information would be useful and I'll try to provide it. Thanks in advance for the feedback!
