Install this

And post a screenshot of your GPU info.
 
Are there any error messages when it happens? Or is it just a straight crash to desktop? Has it ever worked correctly for you? Try uninstalling drivers with DDU and reinstall the latest ones. Make sure the PCIE power cable is plugged in if your card has one. Try a different PSU of that is possible, or try it in a different PC. Or try a different GPU in your PC.

if you played the game fortnite it crashes while saying fortnite crash report hoever this happens on other games aswell becuase when i load other games the gpu in task manager says like 1% usage and the game just freeze this isnt my gpu its my cousins gpu itcrashed in his computer but crashes in mine aswell i tried using ddu it didnt help i tried old drivers and other stuff not working at all
 
If it is happening in another PC as well it sounds like it could be faulty or failing.
 
so is there a way to fix it ?
I have no idea what's wrong with it. If it has a bad bios maybe reflashing the original bios could fix it (back up current bios first!!!). If it's bad capacitors or something an electronics technician may be able to fix it. If it's got a bad memory chip or something, then it could technically probably be fixed, but would cost more than the card is worth.

oh okay thanks a lot for the help its just that im confused becuase in device manager it says device working perfectly but its not
 
Are you watching temps? Check with hwmonitor (others would say hwinfo) and see if its overheating. You could try reseating it... make sure the power connector is fully inserted ( though you'd think that would make it not work at all - but why not?).

Edit: Oh wait actually you can check temps from right within gpu_z which you already have.

When you alt tab from a game, it's never going to show usage since you're now out of the game, and in task manager. Even if you set them to windowed mode they can change how they're being rendered, and can make task manager a poor way to look for what you're after.

Win+G for game modes overlay or steams overlay are simpler methods, you can also use nvidias geforce experience overlay with Alt-R or Alt-Z to see this information in-game


The most obvious question is... is your monitor connected to the nvidia card? Because if it's connected to the onboard graphics, that's whats going to be used.

bro the monitor is connected to the graphics card but for some reason keeps crashing in games even tho in device manager it says thst its working perfectly it isn’t

He's just trying to help. Even the most advanced user can make a rookie mistake. Now... did you check your temps?

And where did you get this card? Did you get it used by chance?

yes the temps is 29C to 35 and no this isn’t my card its cousin’s card i was just trying to help him by trying to check if the cards works on my pc aswell but no it didn’t work in my pc either he bought the pc with the card a while ago he said that he used to play csgo but after some updates he couldn’t play gamed anymore for some reason i tried different drivers but no work at all

Sounds like it is just broken if it doesn't work in either pc :(

See if its under warranty, if it is send it in. If not, sell it for parts ( wont get much) and buy a replacement. Looks like you can get them for pretty damn cheap on ebay. Maybe your cousin even wants to upgrade?

Don't know why but looks like the 1070 is about the same price and is way, way faster.

well he wasn’t looking for upgrade but i guess he needs a new gpu since this isn’t working i will try to go to my other friend to check the gpu in his pc maybe it works on his since he have different motherboard if not im gonna send it to repair shop and check what he says and how much price will it cost to fix (probably wontbbe fixed at all) if these solutions doesn’t then im gonna tell him to buy a new one. anyways thanks for all the help
 
Would be useful to know the rest of your system specs.
 
Sounds like a faulty component in the graphics card circuit. When running a game that is stressing the card, some capacitor and/or MOSFET is not working as expected.

the specs wouldn’t be needed becuase i tried to use the card on other pc and the card crashing on games its the cards fault

so how to fix ?
 
Your PSU model and name ? i guess the 1650 has a 6 pin PCIE power cable and it is attached correctly ?
motherboard is Hp elite 800 G1 but that isn’t necessary since i tried in other pc aswell with different motherboard and different psu and it was doing the same thing crashing on games

the 1650 doesn’t even have a 6pin cable at all

I suppose that the PSU is enough if the card is a connector-less one. What CPU your PC has?

i5 4570

in device manager it says the device is running properly and i can even go in nividia control panel and update drivers/delete them but the problem is with games they freeze or crash
