I recently got a second-hand computer setup, and while it initially seemed fine after a stress test, I'm now experiencing some issues. I'm looking for guidance on diagnosing the problem further and whether it could be anything other than a failing GPU. Here's an image of the issue I'm facing: https://imgur.com/a/krBofCb. Any advice would be appreciated!

It sounds like the problem could be linked to your device drivers. From my experience, when weird codes pop up, it's often due to an incorrect or corrupted driver installation. Try using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) for a clean reinstall of your graphics drivers, then reboot and install fresh drivers. After that, run a Furmark stress test to monitor your GPU temperatures. There’s a low chance it’s just overheating, but you never know!
Thank you! I will try that. Can I ask a question? The PSU is 400W, and the GPU recommends at least 600W - could this be causing the issue? I bought the setup second hand, so I just trusted that the PSU would be fine as it appeared to work.
