I've been dealing with a frustrating issue for the past couple of months where my GPU crashes unexpectedly. When this happens, the fans on the GPU ramp up to full speed, and my display freezes or loses the signal entirely. This can occur as soon as I start my PC or even after playing for several hours—it's completely unpredictable. My setup has been stable for over a year, and nothing has changed since then.
I've attempted numerous troubleshooting steps including updating the drivers, performing a complete fresh installation of the drivers, ensuring all components are securely mounted, and monitoring temperatures (it can happen even at normal room temperature). I also did a clean Windows install by formatting my drives, updated the BIOS, and even switched the display port, which seemed to resolve the issue temporarily for about two weeks. However, the crashing occurred again today after gaming for an entire day. I'm feeling super lost and frustrated; any help would be greatly appreciated! Here are my specs:
- B650 Pro RS Motherboard
- AMD 7800 X3D Processor
- 64GB DDR5 RAM
- GIGABYTE GTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB

Did you check if the GPU was overheating? Also, have you run any diagnostic tests? There's a hacky option called 'Halt and Catch Fire,' but it might not be widely known outside of tech circles—could be worth looking into if you hear anything about it!
Have you tried using DDU to uninstall your GPU drivers completely before reinstalling them? Sometimes even a fresh install doesn't clear all previous files. It might help to do it that way and start fresh. Let me know how it goes!
