Hey guys. I don´t know what to do, my GPU is probably having its days. It started today, yesterday my PC was completely fine, I didn´t install any new drivers, or programs, just turned it off, but when I launched The Divison today, I played for like 1 minute and then lights of various colors started flashing on the screen and after like 1 second the game turned off. This happened in Superposition benchmark too, after running between 1 to 2 minutes. Only thing that appeared was something like: "We restored default Radeon Wattman settings due to unexpected failure". Restarting the PC didn´t work, neither did reconnecting all cables inside the PC. Problem goes on and on. Specs are: R9 280X from GIGABYTE running at stock, i5-4590, 8 GB RAM and 520W Seasonic M12 II

Yep, sounds like a dying video card. Best way to nail down exactly where the issue is would be to test it in another system and/or another card of similar power use in yours. It may be overheating, run HWMonitor and run a benchmark like PCMark or 3DMark to see how high the temps get, if the system will stay up long enough to run through them.

Thanks for answer.. I just found something out. The thing is that I am able to run forza horizon 3 almost maxed out for at least 30 minutes without any problems.. It didnt crash after 30 mins, I turned it off but temps are pretty much normal 70-75C while gaming.
