My PC suffers!

[Deleted]

Dear Mmo,

My PC is in trouble! Listen to this for extra effect while reading https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxPj3GAYYZ0

Here it goes, my PC spins wildly up during start-up (sounds like it comes from either the power supply or video card. It calms down again after some time, but comes back at times during the game where it spins up again and then falls down after some time. The computer is generally noisier than it was in the beginning.

Had a time two days ago where the PC shut off without bluescreen and restarted again immediately.

This is how it often (every time I play) looks to me ingame:

This changes if I move my camera angle or move my character. Also happens in CSGO and dota 2. Not in the same way and I do not have any screenshots of this unfortunately.

This is my setup:

I had hold of komplett (my pc store where I bought my pieces) they had my graphics card in to test and I was told that nothing was wrong with my graphics card. Then I had my PSU in there and found the error and I got a new PSU https://www.komplett.dk/product/8580...650x-650w-psu#

So even with the new PSU I stand in the same position.

Running no overclocking or something.

Think I've got everything with, thank you for the time and do ask if you need anything info :-)

Have a nice day!

Seems like a GPU issue.

But what are the temps of your system in-game? And is it possible to test the GPU in another system?

[Deleted]

So my graphics card is the issue here?

And temps on system, what are you thinking here? Any program for measuring it?

[Deleted]

Use Open Hardware Monitor for getting your temps.
Seems to me your system is overheating.
What case are you using, and does it have decent airflow?

Those artifacts might point to a toasted GPU chip...

On a side note, your PSU is overkill, 500 Watts would have been more than enough.

Ok, sorry but I'm not following when you guys say GPU chip is that meaning it's my graphics card?

Got a free upgrade on the PSU because of previous business. Otherwise yes it is.

All fans start spinning with 100% during boot process, fan control will eventually take over and control the fan speed.

Your photos look like a broken GPU.
as Zeara recommended, you should check your temperatures. I use speccy for that.

It's kinda odd, that your store did not detect anything though..

On a side note, before deciding on a manufacturer for GPUs and PSUs, I usually check how they handle RMA. These days most of them want you to contact them directly, if there is anything wrong with your hardware. (In my case, those manufacturers would be EVGA and Corsair)

It looks like Sapphire does not offer such service, so you are stuck with your shop :/ .

You could also use MSI afterburner to check the temps of the GPU (yes, videocard) and the CPU (Processor). You get a graph which you can use to follow the temps a bit better.

For temps, I suggest you try what four3ky mentioned, Speccy. It's very lightweight and friendly to beginners.

I'd also, just in case, check the cabling from the GPU to the monitor, before you go about trying to replace your GPU. I personally encountered similar artifacts with defective cables. Are you connecting to the montior using HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, or VGA? Many users tend to go for HDMI, especially ones new to the PC scene. If so, try with a different HDMI cable. On the off chance the monitor's HDMI socket is damaged, try connecting with DVI if you have a cable. I'd also stick with DVI because it provides the same image quality as HDMI, minus the HD audio component. You don't need the GPU's audio component when you're using headsets connected to your motherboard.
