Hello!
I own a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 960 for four years now.
A month ago my computer started to turn off when I played video games. It happened in every few days.
Two days ago it became frequent, several times a day, and sometimes even when I was not using any 3D graphics, For example, at the Windows login screen.
Today it corrupted my windows. After reinstalling the windows, everything seemed to be fine, then it happened again.
I checked the Windows kernel dump, and found this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...1aL3XvjM9Ydz2ouw1AJ2Jf7nuSUjz9qNv4KoBOe1EBTrg
I changed the video timeout from 2 to 10 seconds with Nsight Monitor. The result was the same, just the computer waited 10 seconds before shutting down, after the screen froze.
What do you think about it? Did the hardware become faulty?
If yes, I am thinking to buy this card for 200 Euros:

Or should I buy a different one? In price/performance ratio it was one of the best ones, which I could find at my location, under 350 Euros.
It asks for a 1*8 PIN PCI Express power connector I have an FPS HEXA+ 500W power supply: https://www.fsplifestyle.com/PROP161000099/
It has two 6+2 PIN PCI Express power connectors. This connectors are the above mentioned "1*8 PIN ones"?
I am looking forward for your ansers, and thank you for the support!
