Description of Original Problem: I have been having stability issues on my pc when gaming. The system will randomly freeze completely, then shut down video signal and become completely unresponsive. The system then needs to be forced off by holding the power button.
After a lot of testing, I have noticed the system seems mostly stable when I limit GPU core clocks to 1800mhz (slightly below base clock). Between 2000 and 2200 (which should be default game clocks?), it is very unstable. And at 2444mhz (factory OC), it is unstable but seemingly slightly less so (could be a fluke)?
Troubleshooting: I have followed all the recommended troubleshooting steps (running two seperate 8 pin connector cables from PSU, clean driver installs, older drivers, all of the software tweaks incl. windows re-install, XMP off, etc.), but the issue persists. I used to run the card slightly undervolted but right now everything is default (no undervolting or overclocking anywhere except XMP RAM).
Any ideas what could be the issue? Is my card cooked?
