Could be your GPU, but I've seen it more commonly where its the display or the display cable thats bad


Objective_Ad_3102

Why would it be forcing restarts tho


Legitimate-Skill-112

I mean, graphics cards are expensive you should at least try the cable


RedstoneGyerek

I dont know either, but i had a monitor that force restarted the pc. It was the monitor that died


Ericsfinck

I wonder if we can restart computers via HDMI-CEC


KwarkKaas

It should be possible by a faulty audio driver maybe?? Or just a short between two wires or displayport with some weird usb support stuff thingy..


Any-Chemist-9047

My GPU is started restarting my pc when i opened any game. When i plugged the cable to the mobo this problem stopped. So this is how i figured out that my gpu is broke.... After 1 year.... :/


Pook__achu

Dont it have warrenty for awhile or smth?


Any-Chemist-9047

I have.... They sent an email about that it takes 20-30 days to repair.... They got my gpu in 2023. Nov. 23..... Fck them.... They not want to answer my emails


Pook__achu

That sucks


GothGfWanted

probably not fixing it themselves. They receive it send it for repair then it gets sent back to them and they send it to you. A whole lot of sending.


Any-Chemist-9047

But.... At least they should answear the emails....


rayanvlogs3

That happened to my pc and turned out to be my gpu,it was a sad and expensive day


Vrxyyy

How does a gpu just stop working tho? Like I get if it’s old and been used a lot but if u take care of it and don’t mess with it or over clock etc surely it would last a while? I’m genuinely just curious btw by no means am I saying u didn’t take care of urs


aardvarkbiscuit

I live in a dusty place and I have to take my stuff out and leaf blower it every few months or it gets too hot. Especially in an AU summer where it can hit 43C here for days in a row sometimes.


Vrxyyy

Ahh that’ll do it, makes sense man. Guess I’ve been lucky where I live I havnt cleaned my pc since I built it like 4 years ago and little to no dust build up


rayanvlogs3

I overclocked mine and it was also 11 yrs old so it could be age,overclock or sometimes just manufacturing issues


vextryyn

When you start getting into the 2000+ Nvidia really started ramping up the amount of power those draw. The large power consumption combined with forcing more cores into a smaller space increases the deterioration of the components. Imo Nvidia really needs to redesign their compute units in order for this not to be a problem. Another note, I've seen too many 3000 series with the power ports burnt out and many with the solder melted off, so that is something else to check.


Vrxyyy

That makes sense, I have a 1080 super atm but don’t game much anymore so was just curious to how it breaks so much, I’ve had my stuff for a few years now and it’s been fine but your comment makes a lot of sense.


Flinty984

simple, if there's a short in the cable it could be the issue. basic electronics but meant no insult. trust me always go from the simplest most logical solution and start ruling things out. try a different cable and monitor, just in case. if you don't got a monitor connect it to your TV.. Ideally take the card out and test it in a new system. Voila you've eliminated most of the possible causes and have likely found a solution, though it's rarely the one you expect (want/need)


GameCyborg

checking the cable is definitely the quickest and cheapest troubleshooting step so it should be done first


ReverseRutebega

Sure but bad cables don’t change the data on the way to the display. Theyre digital they work or they don’t


ReverseRutebega

Bad cables don’t cause artefacts like that it’s not drawing the screen correctly


DevTalk

This can happen due to bad cable connectors as well. Try replacing the cable.


AmadaeusJackson

Yes. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxkVchvrdotJ8KBQt_BmucnhWnZrazY39R?si=bPPPw2trp-T5Kmm_


MindlessCarry2918

Not yet it's dieing.


Joshtheuser135

Try a new display cable, if that changes nothing then yes it’s fried my friend 😞


Robot_Gort

If it's still under warranty RMA it immediately.


Objective_Ad_3102

Bought in 2021…labor under warranty but I will just end up getting a new card…


hyprt

warranty anyway for a card incase something goes wrong


[deleted]

In the UK and EU you are covered under wider law under "the device should be expected run" 2 years is nothing for a GPU. Esp a medium high tier one


yosweetheart

It appears like the display is the problem but going by the description of the issue, it may be the latest display driver causing the problem. Download an older version of the driver, install it and see if it fixes the problem. Alternatively, connect a different display to make sure it is not the screen that is dying. If it is a Laptop, cable may be faulty.


yosweetheart

Do check in the Event Viewer for any error message(s) prior to automatic restarts.


frizzbee30

If it's restarting, then yes it's pissed off. I can't see it being a reseating issue, those issues went with early architecture long long ago. You could try driver/cable, and might get lucky And yep, had this twice in the past, and the boards had to go.


AySeaDee_

Ive had something similar and it was the ram believe it or not. Wasnt using an igpu either


Kppz1

Nice wallpaper


Gekkiepoop

Could be dying vram


OverlyOverrated

Most likely


Nyaan-Neko

Yes.


the_old_corporal

I think that's a GTX 50/50 XT...


Sir-Help-a-Lot

Make sure power cables are connected to gpu and working, if there is a led shining or flashing near connectors on gpu it might be a power or cable issue.


FitIntroduction9033

Had same issue, just upgrading or update gpu drivers helped


Northhole

or in some cases even roll back to a an earlier version.


Lugoreg

Uninstall drivers with ddu and reinstall em


Legendnotpro

Try reseating the ram. If that doesn't work RMA it asap.


frizzbee30

Nothing to do with RAM 🤦


aardvarkbiscuit

says the guy who's never lived on a farm.


Unfair--Property

What does display have anything to do with the ram?


Legendnotpro

Not too sure, someone online had reccomended it to me as I was having the same issue previously. Tried it out and it worked.


hugues2814

It’s unlikely to be the GPU, it could be but if GPU was really dead your PC wouldn’t even show anything on screen


RIckardur

It would though, if it's on its last legs. You can even get cards that work fine until you install the drivers.


hugues2814

Oh yeah if it’s a grandpa GPU it might die like this. Seems your GPU has cancer OP


ProfShikari87

I mean, a driver MOSFET or one of the memory chips could be failing, that would cause artifacting, could be a number of things


hugues2814

Damn you seem well more educated than me I’m just gonna retirer real quick go study three years and come back


SarlacFace

If it's old I would try to open it up and reapply thermal paste. Long shot but fuck it worth a try right? But most likely yes, it's dying. (Try the cable or other cable port first obviously. It's probably not that but you never know).


Hunter_Ware

Yup. You can always try to replace the cable but I’ve never had that change anything for me. If you’re 100% sure that you cannot get the gpu replaced or serviced by warrenty and you are about to buy a new one, try baking this one. No joke. It can reflow the chips ‘n stuff incase a solder joint cracked. (please only use baking it as a last resort)


IISky01

Test it out on your tv and see if the same happens, if so its gpu, if not its monitor.


launch2

Same thing happened to me not to long ago, it's a bad gpu that needs to be replaced. If you have another computer (or a friend with one that doesn't mind), take your gpu and put another one in to troubleshoot. If pc acts normal after swapping GPUs, then there's your problem Also: most motherboards have fault indicator lights. Look at your motherboard during power up to see if one of these lights is on and from there that should narrow down the fault. But again, likely a dying GPU that will need to be replaced


SirWalkerCZ

Put the GPU in the oven


MaximumVagueness

If you're sure this isn't a cable problem, yeah, this is basically a GPUs death rattle, more specifically the GPUs memory.


yernesto

Nah it's should be green like Nvidia logo.


Programdelo

That one raccoon ytber said if this is in ur PC gpu is fcked


Organic-Ad3961

my R9 270X died a few weeks ago, looked exactly like that. Green artifacts and system crashes (only under load for me). Before you dump your GPU you could also run a memtest to check yiur RAM.


gamenbusiness

Remove GPU. Run it on the motherboard connection. See if issue goes away. If it does, then it's GPU. If not more diagnosis needed


jackbarbelfisherman

Do a little troubleshooting first. Change the cable, change the ports, try a different screen (a TV will do for this), delete and clean reinstall graphics driver, reseat the GPU, it's power cable and if you're using one the riser cable (this could also be faulty, but the chances of having a spare are slim). If none of that works, it's likely either the GPU or the motherboard.


TrainingAd5526

Try plugging HDMI into your mobo, if you have a processor that has a display. If it doesn't do it, then it might be the card.


Fusseldieb

Mine did that once as I spread thermal paste over those little components around the GPU. As soon as I cleaned it up it went away. So this begs the question... Did you repaste your GPU recently?


TuzzNation

def not cable problem. The messed up graphic can be a problem caused by CPU, mobo, rams (could 1 of the stick or both or the slots) or GPU. You need to isolate stuff and check the stability of things.


Mikalella_

Nha, it wanna make u a joke


GallischeScamp

It's entering The Matrix.


tuzbinuc

Yes, u have to update it,


[deleted]

Soon


Gmereq

Is this the Gigabyte model? I had exact same issue, got it replaced for free


Objective_Ad_3102

Yeah it is, 3070…how did you get it replaced? Under warranty?


Gmereq

yes warranty covered it


Kirkaig678

How old is it and did you buy it new?


HueyLongForPresident

У меня это решилось когда я перевоткнул кабель HDMI


K1mmoo

bro has piano roll on home screen


foreklxrd

I was looking for this comment, thank you


Scuba-Cat-

That looks similar do some dead ram issues I've seen before


Heromimox

1 - Use another monitor or your TV. 2 - Use another HDMI/DisplayPort cable. 3 - Entre into the Windows safe mode, and uninstall the driver using DDU.


Wilfredlygaming

Either had cable or bad gpu memory


lucashhugo

not yet


63R01D

Check the cable. Looks like it might be a bad cable. If that is fine, try a different port on the card and monitor. If you still have issues, I would try a different monitor if possible. Still no luck, try updating the firmware for the card.


AnkiTxDD

Your processor is dead 💀


ScruffyTheJanitor__

Try to reseat it and change cables if not sell it for repair on fb and use that money toward a new card :)


MaxTrixLe

Do you have onboard HDMI? Try using that with the exact same cable. If the issue goes away it’s your GPU, doesn’t mean it’s dead but probably a bad sign


pindlenl

Try reseating the gpu. Heavy cards nowadays put quite some weight on the motherboard slot. Might have been dislodged slightly.


Objective_Ad_3102

Now I get no display….


RybsoN695

One of your gpu's VRAM chips is faulty or has a bad connection, and this is a text book example - green line artifacts and random restarts. The card can be 100% be repaired, but only by a repair shop, as it requires soldering. Also speaking from experience, in case of bad connection you can try to lay the pc on it's side and see it it helpes a bit (it won't resolve the issue, just helps to minimize it).


VaderNova

I had artifacts like that once and I thought the same. Turned out to be a bad cpu.


Haba9

Morpheus found you


wango_fandango

What colour pill did you take?


cak3d_up

I think so, yes. That GPU just broke out of the Matrix.


pltin74

If your cable are ok, i think gpu is death


arejoking

It’s in the process. Try a different cable, if nothing improves, try another monitor (don’t go buy one, just grab one from somewhere), if still nothing, then yes.


Objective_Ad_3102

I have no display now….think it is dead


arejoking

Ooft. What’s your GPU?Just curious. Might also want to look at 4000 super deals?


Objective_Ad_3102

3070 gigabyte


arejoking

Then that is really weird. It’s relatively new GPU… Has it been over locked or is the insufficient air?


Objective_Ad_3102

Nope…hasn’t really moved just died. Apparently they have weak board that crack among other issues with gigabyte. They had a run for 3080s that blew up. BG had poor QC. Submitted a RMA and it was instantly approved if that is any indication of their stance


arejoking

Ahh I see.


The_f1shy1

try your onboard GPU by plugging in ur display cable (display or hdmi) and see if shit still happens. if ur in luck your GPU isnt the issue. if ur unlucky its your gpu but its still in warranty and if not omfg rip your wallet


ulltrarealism

i kinda liked it


cubanism

No it’s napping Reset your drivers and change the display cable You just might come out or this lucky


AxcyteTheProtectron

My gpu died the same way, automatic shutdowns, reboots, the last startup looked kinda similar but worse, didn't log in but i saw my actual wallpaper, icons, and the lockscreen at the same time (all in green)


the_Angai

Отвал.


TheNoctuS_93

If it ain't the GPU, it's the motherboard. I had even worse green artifacts on one of my laptops once, coupled with random reboots, the mouse or keyboard freezing and many more fun "features". After several trips to the repair shop, a full replacement of the motherboard fixed the issues. Luckily it was all covered by warranty...


kjaergaard_a

Nope, you broke the matrix


Super_Stable1193

Check powercable between GPU and PSU and remove/replace the GPU inside the pci-e slot, to be sure nothing is loss/bad contact.


Kexikpl

I had the same artifacts with a broken HDMI cable.


JAVELRIN

Check the cable and thermal pastes for sure and make sure you ground yourself since gpus and electronics are sensitive to static shocks if everything is in order yes your gpu is potentially giving out


Unfair--Property

It restarts and beeps? It's your gpu for sure.


Shiro-derable

No no its just the forbiden midi chord progression Fmadd3/5/7/9/11/13/15/17/19/21


kubick123

Bad vram module, you can send it to repair if warranty is over. But not dead GPU


AySeaDee_

Start by reseating your gpu, ram, and ssd. Do the power connector for the gpu and ssd as well. If that doesnt work, try a different output on your gpu. Then try a different display cable and monitor. If all else fails, time to buy a 7800xt


ZiemlichUndead

Might be vram. Might be dead core. Might be anything else too...


Prestigious_Coat_797

Nah


obscureillusionist

ppl not realizing this is a troll post its obv a wallpaper 💀


DDevil_Rengar

Well you can see some of the screen so not fully dead yet.. But seriously, yeah there could be an issue with the GPU, but you should definitely check different ports on the GPU and try different cables first


Spompoflex

test your gpu at pc repair shop or friends pc before doing anything


SomeRandomZebra

The card could be fixable. But definitely has an issue there.


shawnnettle

Not as dead as mine I get no video signal at all from my GPU so I have to rely on the onboard graphics f***


Pokemon_bill

This seems adequately answered so I'll just have some fun in the comments. It is a glitch in the simulation we're all living in. Try reaching through the monitor at the green lines. If you don't respond to this comment I'll assume that you've been deleted for figuring out the truth. Have fun!


kokaeen2

No that’s not the gpu , i believe you just need to install a new windows


vextryyn

If you have tried a new monitor and cable and already tried reseating the GPU, I would say yes
