Well when it drops to 0%, does your game stutter, lag, anything?

Basic question, have you updated your GPU drivers?

Have you also updated your MoBo? If not, are you comfortable doing it? MoBo update tends to fix a lot of problems. If your MoBo is at the latest update, then i'd try to re-seat your GPU.

I've done both of those already, but the last time i tried to install a new bios it may have not worked properly, but I'm pretty sure it did.

Try your GPU in another PC, and see if the problem still persists.

Which OS do you have? Give me your BIOS version aswell.

Well, it may be new, but i've recieved tons of stuff that was defective at the very start. May be damaged during shipment, or just an typical hardware error. I'd suggest you try it in another PC.

It wasn't shipped, i used for like a year on my other computer without any problems at all. As soon as i used it for this new Pc, i got the problem. Also if i sound ignorant, i just don't have another pc to plug it into.

Yes. Again my solution to this problem is your GPU. When you can, or if you get the chance of trying it in another PC, do it. Or if you find another solution :) .

Well, if it helps, if i run a GPU stress program nothing happens and it runs at 100% for 25 minutes.
I mean it seems like the gpu is fine if it can run the test without a hitch.
