Hiya guys n gals
right built my rig (in the specs) start of the year so january(ish), i have been having a few problems with it some just beginning to happen, sometimes when i sit and watch a film/tv via media center or video on youtube the computer locks up and the screen artifacts as can be seen in the pic attached. My question is this my gpu (bought start of 2012 brand new) on its way out already or could it be something else? It is a ASUS 560ti TOP (stock 900mhz oc)
the power supplies a corsair tx650
things i have tried:
* pulling card out and reseating
*expelling the very little dust in it
*disconnecting and reconnecting firmly the two 6 pin pci-e cables
*running afterburner (passes)
*playing games (few major artifacts in battlefield 3 but read it was down to performance/driver bugs than card) usually plays fine
*drivers (latest nvidia off site) happened in last drivers /last betas i tried aswell)
Also when i go to overclock my rig it sits stable and passes ibt on max 20-50 passes and runs for 3-5hours then suddenly shuts off and restarts? could the GPU be causing this?, everything runs fine stock, thinking it could be RAM failure instead of the gpu i ran memtest today for a few hours both boot disc and in windows and it finds no errors
help please
