Hi all,

Been a member for years just lost my old account, anyway a friend keeps getting crashing while playing games.

I've done pretty much everything and narrowed it down to a hardware fault but want to be 100% certain its the GPU before he goes out and buys a new one. Can anybody dissect the Afterburner log and see if they can see an issue here https://imgur.com/a/Wk6tp

That's the time it crashes while in game as it's fine while idling.

Any help is great. Thanks

Edit: I have done a stress test with Aida64 and get a hardware failure error, but it doesn't say what?

The temps of everything are good im happy with them.

Under load CPU hits 70 GPU hits 65

The specs are:

GTX 760 Asus DC
AMD FX(tm)-6200
8GB DDR3
M5A97 R2

Can you isolate the gpu, as in do you have on board graphics?

Remove the gpu and run some normal stability tests, real bench for example.

It's difficult to diagnose without the full spec of the PC

Also is it overheating? You'll need to run some software to see what temperature you are getting. HWMONITOR is quite a decent tool for this.
 
I'd say all the above are a bit too harsh for general stability tests.

What's wrong with real bench? It's not like you'll be running your cpu by the seat of its pants 24/7
 
Thanks Guys.

Going to stress the gpu now and save the log.
 
Ran Furmark and it crashed the pc. I had enabled logging but it didn't log the event just the initialization. I have run cpu stress tests and they are fine.

Any other ideas?
 
CPU stress tests working while GPU stressing causing crash hints toward graphics card.
Is Event Viewer showing any kind errors for graphics card drivers?

Though guess not so well working PSU could also cause graphics card instability.

That's my problem now. Need to figure out if its the PSU or Card. I'll check the event logs.
 
The easiest way will be swapping out either the PSU or GPU and retesting. Will save a lot of head scratching. If you don't have one to hand it might be worth seeing if you have any local PC repair shops that you can take the PC too and ask them if they mind you plugging a GPU in for 10 mins if they have one spare.
