Hello!
Recently, my GPU fan randomly started spinning extremely fast and my screen quickly turned off. After a couple of minutes, the spinning continued to happen with no sign of slowing down, so I just turned off my computer completely. When I turned it back on, the GPU fan spun for a couple seconds and just stopped, and I got a black screen with a white line running through it.
I've already RMA'ed the GPU (GTX 1070) with EVGA. However, this type of breakdown seems entirely random to me, and I was wondering if this type of malfunction can be attributed to any other hardware. The GPU has worked perfectly fine for me since I got it 7 months ago, and now it seems like it randomly died.
I wasn't doing anything that would prompt the GPU to overheat at the time; I was in the "champion select" phase of a League of Legends game, but I've already played the game itself countless times with this GPU with 0 issues. Even though the fan was spinning super loudly, it didn't seem to me that it was overheating or remotely hot at all.
Has this sort of thing happened to anyone, and are there any things I can do to reduce the chance of things like this happening? Thanks!
