Can someone help me interpret my GPU sensor log and troubleshoot ?

I didnt know the card was still under warranty, so yes, re-pasting the GPU would void its warranty. (sticker over a screw? LOL) Better to takes steps to RMA first, should the problem be the card itself and not something else.

Since thats the case, you should contact customer service and follow their troubleshooting steps so you can RMA the card, because sticking it in another system might also void warranty. However, trying a different card in your system will help troubleshoot what is left in your system.

The paper card in the box says its 3 Year warranty and i did ask the shop about it on the phone a few months ago. The GPU is only just over 2 years old ;). (Unless they try to get out of it lol)

I just now put a warranty request in, however that being said if its something else that wont help me :D. On the plus side if it isnt the GPU and its replaced it still saves me alot of money on a new GPU. (as long as they dont charge me for a non fault replacement >.<)

Btw, i know i cant play games without a GPU but watching things like twitch and normal web stuff will work right? o_O

Edit: If and until the card is replaced ill still be trouble shooting, and ill still want to check my ram and stuff so ill let you know what happens with those tests :3
 
Yes, your Intel Core i5 4670K CPU has a built-in Intel GPU, so you can use your PC without the discrete AMD card. :)

Your seller/computer shop & GIGABYTE card are nicer than mine. :) My SAPPHIRE R9 290 card only came with 2 years, worth it though, as it was at a good price. My warranty just expired this past June.

Just an update for anyone interested,

Did testing using memtest86 with the USB startup. Had 0 errors so at least its not my ram.

The RMA for my GPU was approved so thats good! They also gave me a free Post Return Label so it wont cost me a cent to send it back.

I was going to do more tests but seeing as ill be sending it tomrrow im guessing its kinda redundant, unless it happens again without the card in. Or unless you think it might be worth to do as many tests as I can before I send it back?
That being said, do I need to uninstall the drivers for my GPU after I remove the GPU seeing as I will have no card in my computer for a few weeks?


Edit: Also is there anything i should do with my pc to make sure it dosnt try and run anything by itself that might have required the GPU? I know of obvious things like dont run steam or games for example but just curious if there is anything i should keep an eye out for? Never had a pc without a GPU lol

Edit 2: I ended up sending it now lol. I uninstalled the drivers with DDU in safe mode before i removed the gpu. Pc is running fine without it :D thank you all again for the help and patience
