Re: Computer Troubles.... (likely Graphics related)
Bill is right it could also be a power issue, whats your power unit?
you could try lower resolutions, graphics settings.
hwi monitor is a great free tool for keeping an eye on temps voltages etc.

If there is power insufficiency, dropping the settings won't help and any instability in a system needs addressing, not avoiding, as it can cause all sorts of issues. If it's the PSU it would need swapping out for a more powerful one.
HW Monitor is great but it won't give you any red flags re power and by the time you have a v-droop you won't be able to see it anyway.

How beefy is your PSU? It should be at least 350W.

Alternatively, could the card be on the way out?
Re: Computer Troubles.... (likely Graphics related)
Well I reseated the card, and used a different PCI-e power cable..... Played countless games of PUBG today no issue.....Unlike yesterday where it was occuring every game.
We shall see how it goes.....

Re: Computer Troubles.... (likely Graphics related)

and when i got me a 650W PSU everything was fine

My light bulbs are more powerful than 350w, for a modern pc you would need at the very least 650w psu
