So lately (starting in a csgo match) i've been getting random crashes (sometimes requiring restart, sometimes requiring only to kill the game process) and finding the cause has been a goose chase.
The crashes resemble a driver failure (amd driver has stopped but recovered message) and will sometimes display the message. Long black screen with varying screen brightness or hue.
All factors point to gpu failure but i am inclined to believe that is not the case for some reasons:
- It is not very old
- i have taken good care of it and temps are fine (furmark hasn't pushed it over 70 in all presets, 30 idle and i'd say avg 60/65 on furmark)
- no artifacts through various furmark runs and 3dmark firestrike (this one never caused a crash but i only ran it once)
- disabling multicore rendering on csgo stopped the very frequent crashing
- the general inconsistency and good card performance (other than the crashes)
The crashes have happened in csgo (most frequent) infestation: new Z (installed today and was quickly welcomed with crashes 2minutes in) and league of legends, which i thought was a safe haven but crashed once today.
Windows reliability history claims a video hardware failure
What i have tried: setting the tdr delay to 8 seconds, fresh drivers and ultimately a fresh windows install
Have read that the issue can be from memory psu(found out mine is corsair's worst) or gpu, and i am aware of the known r7 260x issues (i've had mine for at least a year and a half and the issues are only now starting to pop up),however, if i had to guess which component would die next it would be my old cheap mobo, no usb ports on it work but i am unsure whether or not the mobo would act up in this way
i don't have spare parts to troubleshoot and really need to track down the hardware issue since i cannot afford even 2 parts at the same time. would welcome any type of software that could help me diagnose the issue
System specs are
2x 4gb crucial 1600mhz ddr3
gigabyte r7 260x 2gb
asus m5a78l le
amd fx 6300
corsair vs 550
Thank you for the help!
