Recently I have been having a lot of issues with game crashes. It started out only on Cod games, but now it is affecting simple games such as Valorant, Kovaak's aim trainer, etc. and has real bad 'artifacting/screen tearing' when trying to run the Heaven Benchmark and crashes every time I try and run it(It basically flashes white in different places-screen goes black-then freezes up) (for games it usually crashes and gives direct x errors for most - even with making games run d11 in extra command lines). However, when I run gpu.userbenchmark it says my GPU is running at 98.8% (https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/48280525)
I've tried reinstalling drivers, repairing and reinstalling games, the typical ins and outs, as well as applying new thermal paste to the gpu, but I have not gotten any success to stop the game/heaven crashes.
I mostly use my computer for gaming (~10-15hrs/week) - 3D programs such as Blender and CAD (~10-15hrs/week) - then the rest of the time (since Feb2021) I mine Ethereum on a very low overclock through MSI Afterburner. (+25 core ; +50 memory) the max overclock I've ever been successful with on Heaven was +50 core ; +100 memory, so I just cut it in half to be safe. Other than mining, I usually never run an overclock. Also when I do mine, I leave the door open for max airflow with aggressive fan profiles and I have never seen the temp even get close to 60C. From my understanding, mining should not have any greater affect on degradation of the card than typical use.
With me being at work rn, I cannot get into my BIOS and tell you all the details there, but the only thing I have ever messed with in that was OC for the RAM and setting up custom fan curves for temps. Does anyone have any insight on what could be happening or how I could best troubleshoot this? Thank you so much in advance!
