So I tried several games with same results, I get some "tears" appearing on screen, black lines, flashing triangular stuff and then sometimes the gpu fan dies, screen goes black and a second later the fan and screen starts working again but I still have artefacts.
I can't really reproduce the issue. Sometimes everything works fine.
I did MSI kombustor burn-in test for 15 minutes with no problem. 77 degrees C max gpu temp. I also did (I think) all of the other tests in that program.
I did 3Dmark's free tests (thrice) which checked out fine aswell, no issues.
But then I run Skyrim, Dota 2 or path of exile and the issues start appearing. But only sometimes.
I should add that at first I used to get "driver has recovered " windows error when the screen went black but I don't anymore.
I've run the same setup for 1,5 years with no issues.
I've done extensive malware and virus removal work, following malwarebytes guides. Didn't find anything.
GPU temps are typically 40-45 degrees C idle, 65-78(max) load.
computer specs:
i5 2500K cpu oc 4,5 ghz (this has been stable for 1,5 years)
4gb ram
500w psu
gainward geforce gtx 460 1gb physx cuda
Windows 7
