I have the following set up:
MoBo - Asus P8Z77-V
Memory - Corsair (2x4GB) 1600MHz CL9 Vengeance
CPU - i3-3220 3.30Ghz
Graphics - Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7850 OC Windforce 2X 2048MB GDDR5
Power - OCZ 700W
SSD - Samsung 830 128GB
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 2TB
No sound card.
The rig runs fine until I start to play games such as XCOM and Borderlands-2 in 1920x1080. The games will run for 5-20 mins and then I get a black screen or a screen with horizontal bands and a constant buzzing.
I have run 3DMark and the card handles all the tests without any crash.
I have run GPU-Z and the readings of the card look OK at the point of the crash (e.g. temp 50C, Fan 40%, memory used around 30%, GPU clock 975MHz, GPU load 50%).
Because the rig is stable I am guessing the GPU is the issue.
I have upgraded the GPU Bios and drivers to the latest release and the Motherboard BIOS.
Any ideas on how to either (a) definitively demonstrate the card is the issue or (b) try to fix the problem?
