Windows 10: Is it my GPU?

Hi there. I recently got Fallout 4 on sale by Steam.i5 4590 3.3ghz quad core16gb 1600mhz ddr3 ramH81-P33 motherboardGTX 960 4GB OC Windforce5 years old.Though my gpu is 5 years old, it only has 3 years worth of usage.Sometimes when I booted up the screen goes multicolour and I have to reboot and it gets fixed.I tried Fallout 4 and other games and after 5-10 minutes, the GPU had got to 65'C and then I got bsod, critical process died. So when the GPU is stressed.I took out my gpu and used my motherboard vga and tried Counterstrike GO on 720p and low settings. It worked without bluescreening.So

I would like to suggest 2 more things if you don't mind,
1. Seat the GPU in another slot, if possible, and see if that helps anything
2. Use the GPU in another system, if possible, this is a step to determine that it is really the GPU and not multiple defective slots or something else from the system.

 

LogViewer for GPU-Z available !

I tried Nvidia Inspector (which is very close to GPU-Z), but it logs with a different column delimiter. With the following steps you can "convert" a Nvidia Inspector logfile into a GPU-Z logfile:

• open Nvidia Inspector logfile (typically "NVIDIA_Inspector-MonitoringLog_....csv") in a good text-editor (UltraEdit ,...)
• find/replace column delimiter: find all semicolon ';' and replace them with comma ',' (in a good text editor you can do this in one step "replace all")
• save changed logfile with extension ".txt"

Now you can open the saved logfile as a "GPU-Z logfile" !

 

GPU-Z 0.7.8 / 0.7.9 / 0.8.0 Bios reading not possible GTX670-solved with gpu-z 0.8.1

@Maban - does GPU-Z fail the same way for you the way it does for me? I.e. total system freeze/lockup, requiring a hard reset?

@W1zzard - I will try the suggested steps later today, as I am not near that PC at the moment.
