Windows 10: Think my gpu is dying

For the last few months I’ve had a problem where randomly the pixels on my screen would flicker then my pc would freeze and sometimes would reboot others it would go back to normal, today I decided to try and see what the problem was, some previous posts here before suggested it was the GPU dying that causes it others said driver issue, so I went onto amd’s site and downloaded the amd link app I think it was called which installed drivers I think whilst the app installed and now the issue has gotten far worse, now my pc is unusable as before it was random but now it’s happening within a couple

Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

• 
  

2. When the app opens, uncheck Internet Explorer 11.

• 
  
  

3. Click Yes on the warning dialog.

• 
  

4. Click OK.

• 
  

5. Restart for the changes to finish.

 

Many PC Problem (I think is GPU?)

It sounds like you may be experiencing a hardware or driver compatibility issue with your GPU. Upgrading your GPU can sometimes cause problems like this if the new GPU is not fully compatible with your system or if the drivers are not installed correctly. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check to see if the GPU is properly seated in the PCI-E slot. Make sure the connections are tight and that there is no dust or debris blocking the connections.
   
2. Make sure that the GPU is getting adequate power. Check to see if the power supply is providing enough wattage to power the GPU, and make sure that the GPU's power cables are securely plugged in.
   
3. Check for any BIOS updates for your motherboard. A new version of the BIOS can help fix compatibility issues with newer hardware.
   
4. Check for any firmware updates for the GPU.
   
5. Try reinstalling the video card drivers. Make sure to use the latest version of the drivers from the manufacturer's website, and use the "clean install" option when reinstalling to ensure that all previous driver files are removed.
   
6. Make sure that your system is running on the latest Windows updates.
   
7. Try to run hardware monitoring software while reproducing the problem, to identify the cause.
   
8. Try running the game or program in question in compatibility mode or in windowed mode, to see if that makes a difference.
   
9. Lastly, If you have another GPU or another PC nearby, test to check if the GPU is faulty or if it has compatibility issues with your PC.
   

It's also worth noting that if none of these steps work, it's possible that your GPU may have a hardware problem and may need to be replaced. If you suspect that the GPU is faulty it's better to contact the vendor to see if it is still under warranty.

 

B(lack)SOD after closing GPU demanding applications and games

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.
