Hello everyone.
I bought my 1050 Ti (low profile version) about 6 months ago and every once in a while I experience random colored lines that appear on the screen for like 0.1 seconds followed by a brief black screen (sometimes just the black screen). This happens very randomly: when browsing on the internet, when gaming, editing, etc. but there can be days (even weeks) when this doesn't happen at all. I can "force" this to happen through quickly switching to different programs, but it's still very random.
I recently tried this on two different monitors with 2 HDMI cables and a DisplayPort with same results. I also tried changing the "power management mode" option on Nvidia Control Panel from "Optimal power/adaptive" to "Prefer maximum performance" and it seems to fix the problem, however, I know this is not a good idea.
I know I have been dragging this for too long, but I need to know. Can this be a PSU problem? HDD? Or I just have a faulty GPU?
My specs:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 w/Stock Cooler
Motherboard - MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI
RAM - (4x4) G.Skill DDR4 2400MHz Value RAM
GPU - Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4GB
PSU - Deepcool 500W DA500 80Plus Bronze
HDD - Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB
Monitor - Gear 21,5'' M2298G 60Hz
