Thread 723153740

how do I know if my graphics card is defective?

Is it made by AMD? It's defective.

Here are quick signs your graphics card might be defective:

Visual glitches – screen flickering, artifacts, or strange colors.

Crashes – system freezes or restarts during games or GPU-heavy tasks.

No display – monitor stays black even though the PC powers on.

Driver errors – frequent crashes or errors in Device Manager.

Overheating – unusually high GPU temps or noisy fans.

Test it in another PC if possible to confirm.

yeah but what if it's nvidia?

yeah I sometimes get crashes but I don't know if that's an issue with the graphics card or what. I was trying to play doom 2016 and it just crashed some 20 minutes or so after starting the campaign. it was a system crash which is mega gay. I might just stick to low intensity games for a while.

One of my sticks of ram died and I had to troubleshoot everything individually to find the fucker. Also bsod.

Open up a crash report. Copy/paste that shit into an AI. It'll be able to tell you what the likely problem is.

System crashes can be a dying OS SSD.

Install windbg (grab the gui version from the MS Store) as well so you can look at the likely crash dump that's available. Once you load the dump (drag it onto windbg), click the "!analyze -v" link that pops up in the console and see what the faulting module is. That's your issue. If it is the GPU driver, it could be a myriad of things (try using DDU and clean reinstalling your driver first, then using DDU and rolling back a bit).
