[SOLVED] RX 460 Crashing In Any Game

[TheCreativeNewb]

My RX 460 keeps crashing in most games I play. I've had this problem for quite a while but I always managed to do the downclock workaround for it, but lately not even downclocking works anymore as in newer games it crashes every 5 mins or so. I want to know if it might be a specific problem from my side or if I have to send it for a repair.

My specs are ;
CPU: FX8350
Motherboard: Asustek M5A78L-M PLUS/USB3 (AM3R2)
GPU: Radeon RX 460 Dual OC 2GB GDDR5 128-bit
Power Supply : 600 W Njoy Titan

Thanks in advance if anyone has an idea of the situation 🙂

use the gpu-z rendering option and if it crash rma .

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

Should I use it while downclocking? Or in a normal state? Because if not downclocked, it will more than sure crash ):.

 

[scout_03]

use normal state to made sure it will do the job .

Reseating and wiping the gpu gold contacts with a little rubbing alcohol ma help. I had a sapphire r7 260x that crashed in almost all games on high load scenes and I reseated the card and it worked flawlessly for 1 more year

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

use normal state to made sure it will do the job .

Aight, I'll try now. Sorry for the late response

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

Okay, I tried the the gpu-z rendering option and it did not crash. As for the second solution, I'll resort to it if I don't find any fix, as I don't have rubbing alcohol at the moment.

the use occt to stress test psu this is brand i dont know .

the use occt to stress test psu this is brand i dont know .

Oh, I'll try to use the occt stress test. As per usual, without any downclocking of the gpu, right?

 

[scout_03]

yes in the default settings on all parts .

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

Alright, got it up. Any idea of how long should I let it run or any particular settings I should use on it?

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

I just did the stress test on the pcu for about 5 minutes, haven't had any crash. Anyway, I'd like to thank you for trying to help me, it means a lot <3

this is your psu https://www.game-debate.com/psu/index.php?ps_id=2480&psu=NJOY%20Titan%20600it does not have a 6 pins gpu connector and it need one also 13 a on 12 volts line it is low for these new gpu the gpu specs https://www.game-debate.com/psu/index.php?ps_id=2480&psu=NJOY%20Titan%20600

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

Oh, so I need to get a new psu? Although my GPU is fairly old, it also crashes in older games as well if not downclocked.

 

[scout_03]

does the gpu have a 6 pins power cable from psu it need it .

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

I'll open my computer case and check. (I'm sorry about being a bit slow, I'm not really good when it comes to computer hardware, other than the basics)

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

I don't really know about my gpu, but my psu has a 6+2 power cable I think. Picture shown below.

[scout_03]

then plug it in the gpu with this cable then whe gone use hwinfo sensor page and made the psu and gpu work in the same time using the gpu-z rendering option on and keep a eye on hwinfo sensor page readins to see any fluctuation in voltages or fan speed for gpu and others parts .

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

Alright, I'll try that, although it's a bit complicated. Thanks for the help so far 🙂, I really appreciate it. By the way, do you have any app that I can use to contact you? Because I don't always check my email and sometimes forget to reply.

 

[scout_03]

from the forum i also read mail there .

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

Okay, I've to come to a bit of a problem here. I don't seem to find any connector to plug in the gpu.

[scout_03]

it should be on the side facing panel or front opposite to board slot connector your gpu specs link https://www.asus.com/ca-fr/Graphics-Cards/DUAL-RX460-O2G/specifications/

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

I've checked the specs again, on the Romanian site (my native language) and it says it does not have any power connectors.

[scout_03]

you site is ok same as asus global the oher could have transcription error lasst thing i could see is north or south bridge on board getting hot and made issue run system on load until you have crash and touch those if they are realy hot .

 

[TheCreativeNewb]

I understood the first, but got lost at the brdige part of the board. Could you be more detailed, like I said I'm quite laid back when it comes to specs and pc hardware.
