I'm a year out of college and have had no luck finding a job in data analytics. I don't know if that will change anytime soon, but I don't think that continuing to work a minimum wage customer service job will help much.

Part of this is my own doing - I really struggled my first couple years in college, had an abysmally low GPA after two years, which limited my research and internship opportunities. But naturally, the market isn't helping either - my GPA is respectable (3.0) and my projects are strong, but I have had almost no luck.

I know that I am a capable data analyst and statistician and I had much better grades in my last two years. What less prestigious roles should I be looking at that still look better on a resume and hopefully pay enough money to live in the short term?

Alternatively, would it be worth pursuing a Master's, to be able to put a better GPA and reset my chance at internships?

Thank you.

We have two custom PCs in our house. System 1 runs a 3080 Ti. System 2 runs a 3070. I can list more specs if it is relevant but I am relatively sure the rest of the system isn't the point of failure.

System 2 started failing a few days ago. Randomly, the screen would freeze, then go black. Attempting to power off and restart would lead to it failing to post, with a white LED on the motherboard which I believe is the VGA Q-LED.

I've now rebuilt System 2 twice to check for faulty connections. Both times, it briefly worked, then the same sequence occurred.

Tonight, I swapped the GPUs in System 1 and System 2, and both worked fine under stressful loads for multiple hours. Then, I swapped the GPUs back to their original systems, and System 2 failed in the same manner while just sitting on the lock screen - so it feels highly unlikely to be a software issue.

I'd appreciate some troubleshooting advice, as I've reached the end of my knowledge and ability to Google stuff.

Thanks!
