Hello people, i am having a lot of trouble with my system and after like 30 days of on and off troubleshooting i think my problem is my graphics card which is a Gigabyte GV-N780OC-3GD .
Before going into details with my issue (this will take a huge post i guess) i want to share with you my test result using the TestCudaMemoryBandwidthPerformance application, which is used to check the vram of the graphics cards.
I am attaching some of my logs, can someone take a look and let me know if this looks like a bad VRAM?
Thank you for your time.

Ok, here goes.
For the past year i have been using my PC for triple screen sim-racing.
Everything was fine until some day i started having system hangs, BSOD's with sound looping.
In the beginning it was very rare but now it has become consistent.
The game i play is Assetto Corsa, and all my crashes only when on triple screen (where GPU usage and vram usage are 100% all the time)
Pretty much after about 10-30 minutes of triple screen gaming my pc:
a) hangs completely
Screen freezes. Some times i lose signal to all 3 monitors and have to pull the plug.
I sometimes saw some artifacts, picture bellow:
b) The driver resets itself
When this happens, the screen freezes, sound stutters for 5 secs, then sound works normally but the screen stays frozen.
I ctrl alt del and acs.exe (game exe) crashes out...
I checked the event viewer and found this (usually :
Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered

Sometimes, after looking into windows event viewer i can find this :
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000116 ---> After googling this i get the following : The VIDEO_TDR_ ERROR bug check has a value of 0x00000116. This indicates that an attempt to reset the display driver and recover from a timeout failed.
I am attaching pictures of the BSOD viewer to have a look if you want, there are some different cases there...
c) BSOD
Sometimes i get BSOD, i have uploaded the pictures of blue screen viewer above
What i have tried so far:
1) Tried another PSU
2) Ran with custom FAN (80%) RPM for the GPU
3) Loaded safe defaults in bios
4) Limit the game to 60 fps to take some load off
5) Tried a pci soundcard, xonar ds
6)Tried about 10 driver versions, always using DDU first
7) Fresh windows install on another HDD
8) Disabled nvidia sound
9) Overvoltage CPU
10) Disable turbo boost of cpu
11) disable hyperthread
12) disable usb3 controller
13) Properly tested (24hrs) ram sticks
14) Benchmarked GPU with furmark for 1 hour in triple screen mode
15) Benchmarked CPU with many benchmark tools, PRIME crashed my CPU in 5-10 minutes
16) I have troubleshooted this with the Assetto Corsa developers for 4 months, they are claiming its a driver issue... i have no reason to believe them.
17) I have reseated my CPU, changed the thermal paste and blew out all dust from the fan / heatsink
18) Currently running only 3 sticks of RAM instead of 6
19) many more stuff i might be forgetting right now...
Right now, i can game normally without crashing but i have done the following so i wont crash:
Downclocked GPU RAM -1000MHZ.....
Downclocked GPU core -100MHZ.....
Overvoltage GPU 1 step
I am losing a lot of performance but i can still play.
I am trying to find out if it is my GPU or something else in my pc....
Trying to solve this since January.
