TL;DR
GPU randomly crashed on me. Tested in a second computer, problems went with it. Borrowed other GPU while EVGA was awesome and replaced my GPU. Installed new GPU, worked great under heavy work load for about 3 days, while gaming get new error in game, with similar symptoms that cause a crash, immediately all same problems are back.
I want to confirm that I have 2 bad GPUs in a row, and not that something else is causing the issue with my GPU, like maybe my motherboard is breaking my GPU?
Sort of a long story, sorry for the read.
PC_____________________
OS- Win 10
PSU- Corsair AV1200
MOBO- Asus Z97-A
CPU- Intel i5-4690k
GPU- GTX Titan, 6GB
SSD - Samsung Pro 840 250GB
RAM - 16GB DDR3-1867 Mhz G.Skill Sniper
Bluray Drive I never use, and 3 Samsung 23" monitors, running NVidia surround 5760x1080
Battery Backup CyberPower 1500PFCLCD.
Randomly when playing a game (Heroes of the Storm I think) I get a solid color of gray/tan/brown/black across my screen, the audio loops in a buzzing noise. It seems like the application crashes, then the audio loops again and the only way I can pull the computer out of it is to hard reboot. Spent most of a day trying to confirm the GPU is the issue when I start getting images like this http://imgur.com/a/LROtj and have trouble even getting windows to complete booting, even with safe mode.
End up trying the GPU in my wife's computer, same issues. That 2nd picture is on her side monitor of her computer. Put her 560TI's in my computer, they work just fine.
Call EVGA, and even though my GPU is 3yrs 3 mos old, they are awesome and do an RMA replacement for me.
I took about a week and a half to get the new Titan, in the meantime I'm playing games/using my wife's GPU's because she's a saint. No problems using these cards.
Get new Titan, works great, boot up Batman Arkham Knight which I just picked up and couldn't play with the 560's, works great and have no problems maxing everything out on all 3 monitors.
Playing overwatch with my wife last night, no issues. Been playing competitive a bit, no issues.
Boot up today, and first game loads and I get a new error- Your video adapter is no longer connected or something along those lines, followed by the same solid color screen/audio looping and crash.
Can boot into windows for 2 minutes max, with these sorts of issues as I'm booting http://imgur.com/V7kp5al
Try again to put in my wife's computer- same lines and graphics hiccups on her computer, crashing etc. Put her 560's back in my computer and I'm writing this, using them.
I'm worried that the brand new Titan worked for 3 days and then have the same issue my old gpu that lasted over 3 yrs had. Is it possible something else is causing the GPU to break?
About to call EVGA for another replacement. I believe they said the replacement had a 30 day warranty, hopefully I'm good.
