I have problem with my GPU,it worked very well for the past year or so,the issue came up few days ago.I was gaming and suddenly my screen went gray and my pc automatically restarted itself,now it constantly happens whenever i try playing a game after 15 mins or less it crashes,i tried reinstalling drivers,windows,cleaning my pc i even had to remove cmos battery to reset my bios in hopes of fixing this problem but i had no luck,it even happens sometimes during browsing on internet

My specs are:
Radeon R9 270 royalQueen
AMD Athlon II X3 460
RAM 4GB

I forgot to mention that it happened a day after i installed newest AMD beta driver,but i don't think it has anything to do with it.
it looks exactly like this

That is the funny thing with broken items, they all worked before they broke. No way to know why something broke especially with computer parts where you can't see physical damage. Overheating causes issues, some small component failing on the board.

Once you rule out the video card as the issue you can go on to seeing what else may be the issue, maybe motherboard, maybe RAM, maybe power supply.

Just a little update,right after starting this thread i uninstalled all drivers,it worked completely fine for the whole day i was able to browse internet without any crashes whatsoever,tonight i installed drivers again,then restarted pc.Few seconds on dekstop and it is showing me now light blue screen with stripes,i cant even turn on pc in normal mode without it crashing,i am currently typing this in safe mode.

I have LV500H-12,unfortunately i am not able to test it without buying one,but i wonder as i said it worked very well for the past year,so why it stopped now?
