Whenever the GPU is under even the slightest amount of stress, after some seemingly random amount of time the display driver will crash. Up until now I thought that this was a GPU issue, but I've read other threads where people described something similar, and the opinion varied. Here are some details:
- Increasing the GPU fan speed to around 70-80% makes the issue far less frequent, although if it does happen then it tends to crash the computer entirely.
- MSI Afterburner shows the power surging to 100% whenever it crashes. It's a sudden spike. Picture below shows this happening (note that this started long before I got Afterburner).

- Nothing else seems out of the ordinary when I'm gaming. The rest of the graphs seem fine.
- Only the GPU appears to be affected. I've never had a blue screen of death or any other form of error in my computer bar the consistent crashing while gaming.
- I've had this setup for a good few years now, but the issue has also persisted for around two years. No graphics drivers help.
Here are the specs of my PC
- Intel i5 4660k
- 8GB RAM
- ASUS Z87K Motherboard
- MSI Nvidia GeForce 770 Twin Frozr GPU
- 1TB Harddrive
- Corsair HX750
Up until now I assumed that this was entirely a GPU issue, but I'm not so sure any more. I unfortunately cannot afford a new GPU at the moment, so if it is a GPU issue then I'll have to be stuck with it, but if it's PSU then something might hopefully be done. Thank you for your time and I hope you can help me!
