So I have made a thread about this problem, and back then I wasn't really in understanding on what's the problem on my pc. but it's really clear now that the problem is in the gpu.
My 1050 ti is just around 3 months old (the problem started around 3 weeks after I bought it, but I got lazy and school kicks in), so it's SHOULD be in an excellent state, but it doesn't. After all this months I now noticed that the gpu is having problems putting in load or letting off load.
Example : I'm playing whatever game it is, let's say War Thunder. Fresh off the cold start, I quickly jumped in the game, ultra settings clocked 60 fps just fine no stutters whatsoever. However, after the game is finished, and it's time to get back to the menu, 9/10 times the GPU would crash, as if it disconnected for a split-second. and the last 1/10 part, it will either crash at the second game, or textures would start jiggling up and artifacts could be seen along the screen, both texture artifacts and display artifacts, as if in a split-second the gpu is pulled off and reconnected. Normally one would just alt-tab and kill the tast to rerun it, and so I did. but whenever I do this, around 3/5 times the game would just crash again, and 2/5 times the windows will start to lag really heavily, forcing me to restart with a button press (force restart).
Once it does run however, like sometime around 2 weeks ago, I played bf1, tf2, war thunder, and some other games switching one by one no problem, around 1 hour each, totalling to about 8 hours of gameplay. I don't know what's the secret formula for this "smooth" state to happen, but I can say it didn't happen again, not even until now.
I have tested every other components, placing my ram one by one in every slot each, testing another gpu (9600gt 512mb, dunno what brand but it has a red pcb), and benchmarks. Funnily enough, with every benchmark software I tried, none of them crashed, even after hours of tests. 4 hours of furmark, 4 hours of pure cpu load, 3 hours of voltage loads. the only exception to this benchmark softwares are Unigine Valley, which acts more like a game than anything, which crashes after a minute after the load was pressed on the gpu.
So, this should be a case of bad gpu isn't it? where it won't do well when load is switched? I thought that the first time, so I tried removing the gpu for a whole week. after a week I placed it again inside the pc, and it ran for 3 WEEKS STRAIGHT NO PROBLEMS. averaging to 4 hours of gameplay a day, it ran for around 3 weeks before one day everything went crashing again.
It has been a buffet of problems for me, and if you guys could help me, it will be very much appreciated. If any of you need benchmark results and files or something to analyze, I can provide you, but no old results, only anything after this post. This post is created after a fresh install of windows 10, thinking I might aswell try fresh-installing.
I have tried furmark, memtest, a program for loading volts and cpu which I forgot the names of, unigine valley, some games (details as requested), and some other stuff too which I wholly forgot.
Also, would heat-gunning do the trick? I got a friend who have heatguns, one of which is pretty good, could reach up to 600 degrees celsius. microwaving seemed not good, and I have no makeshift heatguns a.k.a hairdryers. I didn't really want to heatgun just yet since ejecting everything from the gpu's pcb is a real work, and I have no spare thermal paste yet. But if you guys says so, then it's so.
thank you for reading my post, whoever is reading this, I wish you all have a good day.
