Hi everyone,
I own an air cooled Gigabyte 2gb gtx670 which has never been overclocked or tweaked in any way.
Recently, cs:go has been crashing alot and with open hardware monitor open on my other screen, i noticed that the load is at 100% and around 70-80 degrees, this is with both medium and high settings. At low settings it sits at about 50%, but cs:go isn't an intensive game?
For the past two days, once a day i have experienced a bsod reading clock_watchdog_timeout, which leads to one of the threads on my cpu being faulty. (CPU: i7 3770k @4.5ghz 1.240v stable, idle around 30 deg, 70 under load)
Today I wasn't able to boot into windows so i did a reinstall, hoping any faulty drivers would clear up, so i reinstalled the necessities (cs:go and nvidia experience) and launched cs:go. There clearly was something wrong as there were many white bars dancing around the screen and artifacts all over. The gpu was only at 50% load and 50 degrees so i assume heat isn't a problem.
The artifacting happens in other games such as tf2 etc.
Any idea what is going on or what i should do?
All i can assume is both my cpu is damaged (from the bsod) and my gpu is also damaged (artifacting).
I am a doing my HSC very soon so some help would be very much appreciated
Many thanks
