You should seek your GPU related consumer rights.

so i have a faulty graphics card???

[mstfbsrn980]

Yes. Unfortunately. The number of graphics glitches and crashes will increase as you continue to use your GPU. If your GPU is under warranty, it will be correct to seek your consumer rights.

oh no.. it's only one & a half months old gpu & i didn't even do any intense gaming on it..

Try a different DP or HDMI cable. If the result does not change, the GPU is most likely faulty.

so yesterday night the problem fixed itself. i don't know how but its fixed now so i just have one thing in mind that will the problem reappear.. i will try a different hdmi cable & a new vga cable though. you are really helpful on the issue..

thank you

You're welcome. If you are not doing GPU-OC and you are not making changes with WattMan settings, similar errors indicate that the GPU is faulty. Similar situations may occur if the HDMI or the DP cable is not of sufficient quality. Similar errors can happen if the GPU port (PCI express port) is not clean. But these are very exceptional cases. So the screenshot you are sharing is definitely a hardware GPU error.

Goodbye...
