Hi Punkfs.

Make it sure that the the GPU is working properly. May be it is not.

If it works, stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Let us know the results.

Alright, I ran furmark and it capped out at 72c.

I did see a white line near the bottom of the screen show up once every minute or so for about half a second. Always in the same spot. Does that mean the card is going bad?

I used MSI kombuster when I first built the pc this week and I didn't get any artifacts on that program, also just tried it now and I did not see anything. But that test does not seem nearly as intense as furmark.

Also, I just want to throw out there I did a memtest on my ram 8 passes no errors so thats ruled out.

edit: just bluescreened again when browsing these forums.

edit2: bsod over and over, back to integrated gpu for now.

Thanks

Furmark tests the GPU better than anything else.

Your system does not recognize the GPU ... at least when you executed the SF diag tool. It showed standard VGA adapter as a GPU.

Noticing it, and based on your original post, plus that furmark artifact ..... all indicates to the GPU getting weak. You need to take proper action about it.

Alright, so i guess I need to buy a new one. I bought this 560 ti 3 years ago, the warranty expired january. I had to RMA it 3 times since I bought it...

I live in hawaii salt air destroys EVERYTHING.

Thanks for your help.

A glass cage with an AC may work

If you plan to buy a new GPU, get one below 700 series, IMHO.
