Apologies if this is a dumb question but have you got the latest drivers for your gpu?

What games are you experiencing this in & what settings are you playing on (max?) Also monitor/resolution & PSU specs please.

 

[Dawid123]

ok so yes i have update drivers to my gpu i experience this in PUBG and i play on medium settings monitor is a benQ xl2411 920x1080 and psu is Chieftec 650w

Something is probably overheating or that psu is not up to the task. Also have you run memtest?

 

[Dawid123]

yep i ran memtest it came out with no errors so i got no clue on what to do

 

[Dawid123]

do you have any idea how to make sure its the psu or not because i took it out of my pc and tested if the fan still spins and it does so idk what to test

 

[reedo_43]

Just because the fan spins does not meant it will power all of your components. Only why to know is to try another better quality unit. Chieftec is not a good name brand.

@Dawid123, watch your language.

Have you connected the PSU to the card itself or just put the card in the pci slot? The card requires the PSU to be directly connected.
Regardless of anything else I would ditch the PSU as soon as you are able. PSUs are not an area you can scrimp on safely.
