PC Keeps Restarting Randomly – Signs Of Dying Graphics Card? I believe that my Graphics Card is showing signs of dying as my pc keeps restarting randomly. I have an R9 380 4gb DDR5 from Sapphire Nitro, on an AMD FX 8350, and 16 GB DDR3 RAM.
Update 17/02/2019: Finally Resolved Annoying PC Which Kept Crashing & Restarting
This video is being uploaded without editing, being filmed on a Samsung Galaxy S7 and using the Boya BY M1 lavalier microphone plugged straight into the smartphone, so also consider this as a real world application of this microphone as an upcoming review preview.
The PC kept restarting, during editing on Da Vinci Resolve 15 (free version). This was during scrubbing on the timeline, editing a basic 1080p video, no fusion, no colour grading or colour correcting, and no major special effects, not even during rendering.
Initially I thought it was Da Vinci Resolve causing this issue (Resolves also uses the GPU for some image/video and some FX processing). I even went to Black Magic Forum and left a post asking for a fix, blaming it on Resolve. I am not 99.9% sure its is not resolve, but it is my GPU dying.
There have been symptoms which I were ignoring, or hoping that I would upgrade when things die anyway. Symptoms like a 4th monitor (A 40 inch TV) connected to the GPU through a display port kept switching off. Also there has been artefacts and fuzzy electrical signs on the middle monitor for a while, sporadic.
During normal browsing and anything that involves CPU usage only, there is no problem. A PC restarting can have many causes, like Electrical Power interference, wrong voltage, bad PSU, bad RAM, Bad CPU etc.
You should use logic to troubleshoot and narrow down the causes. This is different to my other series of Troubleshoot A Computer Not Turning On, or A PC turning on But No Display On the monitor
This symptom is happening while already booted up and logged onto the OS, Windows 10 here. That previous series deal with NO POST or problems with booting up and logging into Windows after POST.
There are various apps you can use to do individual components test, like Prime95 for CPU stress Test, FurMark and Unigene Valley for GPU, and Mem86+ for RAM.
So the temporary solution for me today is to swap this GPU with a used GTX 970 which is in another gaming Pc downstairs, and use it until its time to upgrade.
Meanwhile, I may just have to upload these types of half vlog/half tutorials and maybe live youtube streams which should work fine.
