Hi guys
I need help here. Today when my computer was idle, artifacts started showing on the screen and the screen blinked and showed display driver stopped responding or something. I immediately assumed that its my GPU cause of the artifacts. However, i did a fresh install on windows 7 64 bit and installed a new driver and the problem still persisted.
The screen again showed BSOD with artifacts and restarted itself. Under safe mode, I uninstalled the drivers and windows booted normally, without a problem. I tried older drivers and I managed to log in to windows. I then ran furmark for 30 min and it was without a problem. I also ran memtestg80 with 700 mbs and 500 iterations, it didnt show an error. I also did 3dmark successfuly and it didnt crash. I thought I fixed the problem, but after awhile, when I was playing Heroes of the Storm, artifacts appeared again. I checked the temperatures on CPU/GPU and they were normal. GPU 30-40, CPU 40-50.
Now i know that if a PSU doesnt supply enough power to the GPU, artifacts can appear on the screen. my PSU is 500 wat but its kinda old, like 4 years old.
Any advice on what to do?
I also like to mentinon, no artifacts are shown under BIOS, safemode, boot time and ETC.
My rig is:
i3 - 4130 3.4ghz
ASUS GTX 560 1gb
8 gb kingston ddr3 (1600 mhz)
HDD toshiba 500gb 7200
msi h81m-p33 as motherboard
