First off this card is no more than 1 year old from new. I bought it from a friend 4/5 months ago and I've used it with no issues in WoW raiding etc. I recently out of nowhere (While playing League of legends of all things) had screen flashing / tearing followed by graphics crashing and my screen going a solid colour often with black lines down it (while my pc is still powered, it isn't actually appearing to die, just my video?)
I tried running GPU stress tests and the second I hit 70 degrees celsius it crashes as I explained without exception.
I can probably get this warranty repaired direct with MSI? I tried to enquire about this today while I was at work but they don't even appear to have a UK technical support office, it's all online. I'd have to probably work out the purchase history from the original purchase to do so and it'll be a huge mess about. I'm frustrated as it is.
The question is really, has anyone had this? Is it something that I can fix or is it just the hardware that has developed a fault? Really appreciate any help troubleshooting or advising how I can deal with this, thanks.
