Hello axe0 and laith,
Just want to say thanks axe0 for the program, it did help a lot.
I don't know how to report Furmark test results, but I followed sevenforums instructions in how to use it, ran a test and after 2/3 minutes I started to have display artifacts and my core temperatures were raising from 52/51º C (yes, I need to buy those cooling bases to decrease the temperature) to 71º C, so I stopped the test as you advised.
I still have to run MemTest86+.
Hello,
Is it normal that my internet browser is now very slow, the same happens when I try to play any game, after I ran that test with Furmark?
Or you could use Speecy.
EDIT: If you had artifacts in Furmark it's most likely dead. I'm certain that it's dead, can you try out a friends GPU?
Hello,
I want to correct my other reply by saying I had no artifacts. I searched for more detail about it and apparently I had none, the temperature only raised to 72/75ºC, and I stopped the test. I keep having slow perfomance in my internet browser and also when I try to play a game. I went to search about possible dangers of Furmark, and I wish I had seen that before, and apparently it can kill my graphics card permanently. Why did you ask me to make a test with furmark with those possible risks? I never had this slow perfomance I am having now. Maybe I got it all wrong, maybe not. But still, I could have been informed.
Is it possible that a malware can be the main cause for all the problems I am having? It can decrease pc perfomance and fake bsods, according to what I had been reading in websites.
Furmark is safe, it has some cons aswell, Furmark can possibly kill your GPU if you have it running for too long.
The temps are fine, if you are having slow performance you could use CCleaner or more to free out space.
It could be a virus aswell, use Malwarebytes Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free
Good evening Laith,
Look, I am just tired of this, before I did that test with Furmark my pc was just fine, he was only having BSOD's but he wasn't slow in perfomance, both in internet browser and gaming. How is it possible that after 5 minutes of doing a gpu stress test with furmark my pc is now WORSE than he was before. Today I tried to watch a live video from youtube and my pc shut down 2 times, each time I tried to see. This is not possible, my laptop is still in a very good state, I bought it last december. This must be a virus, definitely, my pc is not dead.
Yes, I did a test with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Free and it found no malware, but it's not normal what is happening with my pc. I am going to back up some important files and restore it to factory settings. If it doesn't get better after that, than furmark ruined my pc completely. Thank you for all the help provided, have a good day.
Do a factory reset, that's the best thing to do in this situation, report back if any suspicious behavior occurs.
No axe0, if you scroll down a little you will see that OP said that there were no artifacts. It is most likely the GPU but i don't want to go too hasty.
