Possible GPU failure?

[Absorbentsolid]

Hey guys so recently my computer seems to be crashing a lot when playing games and i think it's down to the GPU. As sometimes i get flashes on my screen like it's flickering and then it crashes.

Then other times just out of no where it will crash but only playing games, I've done a clean install of my drivers and it currently has no overclock on it.

Tried new cables and seem to be getting the same issue. Only thing i can think of is that it's my GPU. It's almost 2 years old it's the EVGA GTX 980TI Hydro copper.

Anything i can do to determine if it is the GPU or not? Only thing i can't do is test in another PC as it's custom watercooled like the rest of my PC.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

So does the card run fine when idle? Have you tried a GPU stress test? I'm sure I have seen some software for testing a GPU and finding hardware errors before somewhere on the internet before as well.
