Hello,
I have a problem with my computer [strike]it might be my power supply failing but I am not sure[/strike] See edits in my second post, It seems like it's the graphics card.
Let me start by telling you the whole story, some day I don't remember how long ago something in my PC startet to make noises, I opened it up but didn't found the part that was causing it.
Later, a few months ago, my PC shut down because of my CPU overheating while playing Fallout 4. After that happened, I started to monitor my temperatures and came to the conclusion that I should clean my PC and reapply the thermal paste on the CPU and clean it's fan. After I did that my temperatures became better but I noticed that my PSU fan was spinning slowly/irregular. I also installed a fan in the back of my PC which made my temperatures better overall.
A few days ago I was capturing some gameplay of the Bioshok remaster using OBS with AMD VCE, suddenly I had some gray and black lines, like some hardware was failing (I think there was no sound for a second too), I quickly closed the game.
While I was trying to play Rainbow Six Siege, yesterday, my screen went brown with white vertical lines my sound was hanging (repeating) and I had to force a shutdown of my PC via the reset button.
So I have multiple problems and my computer could have been affected by anything that happended. Sadly I am not financially stable at the moment and can't afford new hardware to test what part of my computer is failing.
But I have made a log with HWInfo on the last crash that I had with Rainbow Six. Rainbow Six is a guaranteed crash for my system, by the way.
I don't know enough about the values that HWInfo saved to analyze it myself maybe some of you have a clue?
If it's possible to find out which hardware component is failing by reading the log, that would be great. If we don't find any solutions that can help me, it's no problem at all. I am waiting for the day I will be able to afford a new PC anyway, but as you could imagine, I want to use this one as long as possible, because I can't afford a new one right now.
Thanks in advance for all the people that take their time to leave a reply.
EDIT:
Looking at what I understand of the log, it still seems to be an overheating problem :/
I also found this ancient post http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1846181/freeze-video-artifacts.html and think that this might be happening to me too. What do you guys think?
EDIT 2:
This is a second log that I stopped then I was getting the artifacts and soundproblems, the first one ended when my computer crashed and might be incomplete.
