I have a PC that have been running fine for the last 4 years-ish. But the other night Rainbow Six Seige crashed in a manor where the game froze and the only sound was a buzzing noise. Managed to close down the game but upon restarting my PC and booting the game, the same error happened again, though this time I was not able to close down the game. Instead I had to force my PC to shutdown.
The troubles persisted but it happened during everything and at random times. The crash had also changed a bit, so instead of just freezing the image, the screen would go black.
I then started researching what could be the cause, and from what I could find it seemed to be a corrupted GPU driver. But after completely removing the driver and all of it's remains and then reinstalling the driver again the problem was still there. Even tried installing an older driver, but no luck.
So I decided to try resetting windows. But during the setup of windows it crashed again. So I took out the GPU and since then it have been running perfectly fine.
This brought me to the conclusion that my GPU is most likely dead/dying, but I then though that maybe the problem is with my motherboard.
What do you think?
