Was not really sure where to post this as I'm not entirely sure it's a graphics card related issue, but here it goes!
Last week my system crashed while watching a video for some school work, not demanding at all - just a youtube video. After I rebooted the computer, I started getting weird white line fragments/fragments. I messed with a few things, tried uninstalling all the drivers with DDU and fresh installing, eventually I unplugged both DVI cables and used HDMI, and it started working again. After a little while the next day, it crashes again (it goes to either a black or randomly colored screen.. pink/blue/grey and you can hear the system beep/tone in your headphones). Went through the process again. This time the DVI connections worked and things were alright for a little while. Tested some games, everything went alright for about an hour, then it crashed again. I read that sometimes the drivers mess with power consumption so I lowered the clockrate and increased power to the video card, while turning vsync on on everything I was playing and that worked for a few hours. The problems still came back, contacted Corsair and installed the LINK software to monitor and also increase the OCP from 30 to 40 (which also helped, used the computer for 5-6 hours one night). And here we are again today, it did it again.
I guess I'm just looking to see if anyone has ever experienced similar issues or what you think the problem might be? My main culprits were Video card, PSU and PCI slot (tried a different one it still happened), but I suppose it could be something else? If anyone has any ideas that would be much appreciated! Hoping it's not the video card, as I water cooled my system and that generally voids most warranties sadly.
It looks like imgur fixed their vulnerability so I'm going to post a link to some of the pictures taken:
