loud buzzing noise with freeze when start gpu-z

[gordon93]

My video card is going down?I should be worried?
sometime my image freezing with buzz loud noise when I start gpu-z, and im not sure 100% if is gpu fault.My temp on idle is hit 17-19 on video card,and CPU 30-35C.When my image freeze all I can do is hard reset.Is annoying because is not a regular bsod to read the error after reboot the system.
my stem spec:
video card is R9 fury X Sapphire http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=69ED4799-7518-434C-80CD-3FF8811F8648&lang=eng
my mobo is: asus p8p67 pro rev 3.1
PSU: chieftec 750W modular with 4 rail 12V .The model is CFT-750-14CS and is this: https://mobilespecs.net/power/Chieftec/Chieftec_CFT-750-14CS_750W.html
This PSU have 7-8 y old but is still run ok.In bios it show me +3v and +12v ok and I checked with hwmonitor too and tension on power good is fine,I do not know how to behave in load task.
cpu: i7 2600k no overclocked,stock speed
ram: 2x8 fury 1866 cl 10 1.5v black- I tested with memtest86 and passed.
The strange thing : I hear that loud buzzing noise only from idle (desktop),especially when I run gpu-z.In games never blocked so far
The temp of the card in idle 18-19c,and in load 50-55C
On the gpu-z I saw another strange thing.it show me PCI-E v 3.0 and my mobo is only pci-e 2.0.It could be problem from there?I have another video card an gtx 980ti palit and that card is running only on pci-e 2.0,and that card never blocked with or without gpu-z, is work good.
Really im desperate I don t know what to do because the image have no artefact with this fury x.Card runs ok until freeze my image with buzz load noise,and that sound comes from speaker not from the system.Once every 2-3 days I have this annoying freeze image when I launch gpu-z,but not in load power(games).On benchmark my card don t block,don t have artifact.
my OS is win 8.1 pro with latest crimson 17.7.1

later edit: today I play old game warcraft 3,and I saw artifact,so the verdict is: my VGA is dying.Thank you gpu-z for warning me.is the only program that felt something was wrong with my vga

* Try another PSU, if you can (newer one).
* IF you start your PC, then run GPU-Z, then without quitting GPU-Z run some games, does this work fine?
* Please note AMD Crimson drivers are very old. I don't think you should use that one.
You need latest AMD Radeon/Fury drivers from 2019.

This game Warcraft 3 was the only game who warning me something is not right with this fury X,because until I have those black borders, all the time my image flickering but only in this game.In another modern games I have no flickering issue,no blocking,no freeze etc(very very very strange).
Another thing very very strange with my fury X ,my PC freezing with buzz loud noise only when I launch gpu-z and I listen a music,but not always.This card have a hidden problem,maybe vrm problem or capacitors...from what I understand
this program gpu-z was the only program who felt something is not right,and that old game Warcraft 3 ofc.Thank you blizzard and gpu-z..I don t think my PSU is the problem because I have another card a gtx 980ti palit and with that card don t have problem...
I will return the card...

latest drivers for Fury X is crimson 17.7.1 and is dated from 4 july 2017.This driver is for win 8.1 pro.For win 10 they have adrenalin date 2019,but I don t have win 10.I use win 8.1 pro and AMD for an unknown reason stopped suport for win 8.1 pro, don t know why,because green camp still have drivers for win 8.i hate them at this point.

The 980 Ti is a better card anyway.

 

[Naki]

Okay, thanks for this extra info!
Is this card purchased new, or 2nd hand? If it was used, then likely the person who sold it to you was not completely honest about the state of this Fury card.
OR maybe he/she did not know for sure and did not properly test it.

Please note Windows 8.0/8.1 are basically dead now. Zero reasons to stay on this, you should upgrade to Windows 10.
I use Windows 10 on many PCs here, 2 of those almost the same as yours and it works great! (Beta BIOS for the older PC however, as its motherboard is from ~2010-2011)

no is not.personally I hate green camp.I love red team,i love Fury X because Radeon always have better color and contrast.Nvidia have washed out colors even if I activate output dinamyc range to Full rgb
and fury X perform better in mantle dx 12 than 980ti.and don t forget fury X have liquid cooling which Is great summer time.

I buyed from another person who lying me all is alright.Before I buy this card i ask him many time if the card have no HIDDEN problem and he lying me.So be carefull what you buy from the internet guys,because there are many video card with HIDDEN problem which at first sight seems to be ok

 

[Shambles1980]

use occt. run psu test 15 mins,

 

[eidairaman1]

18 amps across 4 rails is not enough

 

[Shambles1980]

wouldnt that be 18a per rail so 36a if he uses 2 rails which should be enough for a fury..
(find it hard to do the maths to get 750w at only 12v 18a)
unless he is only using 1 rail that is..

 

[gordon93]

Shambles1980 I used 2 rails cable (2x8),and I want to say my radeon card have suspicious activity,i mean when I only watch a video on youtube in gpu-z show me VDDc raise from 0.900v to 1.093 or 1.24v and my core raise from 300mhz to 1050,but not always.Is normal behaviour?
another weird image in Warcraft 3-dota.first time when I cast a spell is with red color and then with white.Don t know yet 100% sure if my videocard have artefact.this fury x have really really weird behavior.is one of the weirdest video cards I've ever had I SWEAR,and I have many video card over time
and I don t know why this game Warcraft 3 is the only game who detect hidden problem.In another games I don t have artifact on my image.All modern game run perfectly fine with no artefact with no blocking,freeze or flickering yet.And I want to say I have no more buzzing sound with freeze image for the moment .it's been four days and I did not freeze my picture yet .but this happiness wil not hold im sure about this
I don t understand this card I swear

later edit: I want to say another weird thing.I installed another card in my system,gtx 980ti palit and I encountered same problem with that freeze image with buzzing sound but it last only a few second about 3-4 second and then he came back to normal without hard reset.With fury X when I encountered that problem it does not return to normal only with hard reset.
Can u please tell me if this flash for fury X is fine??I extracted from my video card and I don t know if it is original,so this is my flash.My fury x have BIOS version: 015.049.000.008.006.194

First, it's a joke that they call that a ATX12V 2.2. It's a very old design as shown by the AMPs on the +3.3 and +5 Volt rails, like P4 old.

Rail 1 and 2 are dedicated to the CPU. Rail 3 is PCI-e and rail 4 is shared with PCI-e and all of the other accessories. Hopefully, you have one each of the 8 pin PCI-e power connectors connected to rail 3 and 4.

 

[Shambles1980]

does start to sound more and more like a psu problem..

 

[gordon93]

yes this is my psu,and I have it from 2008 when I have my first gpu video card a geforce 8800 ultra.I want to say another thing, sometime when my video card is in idle and have not heavy task all 8 light red from video card rails is ON,and sometime only 4 led are ON,and sometime only one led is on.I attach some pics.

what resolution to choose for occt??

use occt. run psu test 15 mins,

I tested my PSU with occt,but under 1 minute my system restart.Why?

 

[Shambles1980]

install hwinfo and tell occt to use that for its sensor info, its not showing the 12v which i assume is droping down to 11.3v or less causing the instability..
11.5v or above would probably be within reason and unlikely to cause a big problem but i think its going lower.

also does it shut down restart with no blue screen or do you get an error message?

 

[gordon93]

it restart system under 1 minute but without bsod.under 1 minute with occt, the screen become black,and system restart.
look I make a short movie.

 

[Shambles1980]

the video is unavailable..
and at this point i would personally try to test a psu that has about 40a on the 12v rail.

even something inexpensive like a corsair vs650 would do.
there's not much more you can do to test the psu on the system. you just need to see if it still happens with a different psu but the psu you test needs to be able to supply enough power.

given the pc just switches off without a bsod when under a psu stress test i would have to think that its the psu, but if you can borrow a psu for testing to confirm that before you spend money on a new psu that would always be better.

 

[gordon93]

 

[Naki]

I would suggest:
1) Try both video cards on another PC if you can. One that is known to work fine, and stably and has a more modern (and also good!) PSU.
2) If cards run fine, then change your PSU to a better/newer one.

 

[gordon93]

I don t have another PC to test.I have a friend with many PC who can help me but is out of the country,so my only option is to buy,but don t know 100% if is psu,gpu or even mobo,and i don t want to spend money on something I'm not sure 100%.If I buy this budget PSU in a new condition is good?

................
Really don t know whats the best choice for my system,don t know what psu to choose...........there are many psu on market,but almost all manufacturer lying with real power psu on rails...and I don t know what wattage draw this fury x on peak.

this psu is ok?

[Shambles1980]

I wouldnt like to advize a psu purchace without you confirming that a different psu fixed the issue 1st.
all the psu's you listed say they have enough amps to power your system and the gpu no problems. But i am no psu expert so il leave that for some one else. but if at all possible do test a different psu if you can.

if you are wondering..
i am 98% certain its the psu.

 

[gordon93]

but this inter-tech PSU is ok?it s a budget psu and have 80+ gold certified.I want to buy it because is cheap.It s a german psu

[Ruyki]

it restart system under 1 minute but without bsod.under 1 minute with occt, the screen become black,and system restart.

If your computer restarts while running the OCCT power supply test, you most likely failed the test.

 

[Naki]

Suggest you steer clear of any low-name/noname brands.
Go for a good, proven brand such as SeaSonic, Cooler Master, EVGA, Corsair/etc. Some of those have models that have 10 years warranty or even more! (well, those may be over budget)
Have in mind that class and model matters a lot too, some SeaSonics may be produced by 1 company, and others - by completely another.
Please give us a budget you can spend on a new PSU, your location (Germany? Romania?) and preference for online store, and we can suggest the best choice(s) for your budget.
If you are in Romania, eMag is good, we use that in Bulgaria too.

some people claim they run R9 Fury with only PSU rated at only 520w. Corsair 520HX.It is true?
