Broken graphics card?

exspeednfs · Nov 18, 2016

Hi guys, please help me with the issue i am facing now!!
I'm using a Gigabyte R9 270X Windforce OC 2GB and recently it started behaving weirdly. I'm not entirely sure if it is the GPU's fault too.

When I'm gaming on my computer, sometimes the computer tells me that memory is low (I'm not sure whether it is the memory on the GPU or the RAM) and after some time of gaming (~1 hour?) it just hanged. So i restarted it and it doesnt boot from there, it keeps restarting after getting the fans spinning for 5 seconds. What i did was to move the HDMi cable to the motherboard's HDMI port and it booted without display. So i moved it back to the GPU's HDMI port and it tells me that overclocking system have been reset to normal, press F1 to go to setup, F2 to load default values and go to setup. Could it be that the GPU is broken?
Please help thanks!!!
I'm currently using a MSI Z68-G45 G3 motherboard with a i5-3570K stock clock.

Move the graphics card onto another PC and check up. Might be your motherboard that might be causing problems to other components. Report back. Thanks!

Windows will only warn you if system ram is running low, you can blow past your VRAM and might not even notice anything. If system ram and vram gets tapped out thats a problem. How much system ram do you have? Open task manger how much ram is in use just sitting idle at the desktop? What game is this happening in?

I have 8gb of system ram, I was playing need for speed 2016 when it happened but it didn't happen only on that game, it happened when I had Maplestory running in the background too. If I remember correctly, task manager showed 70+% memory load before need for speed crashed on its own.

I need to know how much ram the computer is using when not playing a game, just sitting at the desktop with nothing open. 8GB is plenty for both of those games, so the only way they could push you over 8GB in use is if a ton of ram was in use before you started the game.
