GPU Problem?

[Kecolol]

Okay so i just finished building PC for my friend and i installed Windows, did the drivers for Rx 580 and installed windows updates, did the XMP in bios.

 

For the context the build is Ryzen 3 3100, Rx 580 XFX GTS Black edition (used but never opened), 16gb ripjaws 3200, TX550m psu, 660p 512gb m.2 ssd and mobo is b450 ds3h and the monitor is hp25x connected via HDMI.

 

So we launched RUST which is pretty heavy game and got onto the server and it was working flawlessly in the game but i tried changing settings and it just like blackscreened and rust crashed but it did when changing settings this is very important. So i was confused im just gonna sum all the next problems fast.

 

Basically, i just started testing in other games like csgo and it became so weird because crashes were not the same. The blackscreens were showing when changing settings in rust or alt tabbing of the game, two or three times it restarted the pc and showed no signal and then booted up again in windows, two times it bluescreened and both times it showed like driver kind error. But the most weird ones were the artifacting on the screen.

 

The weird red dots all over the screen for few second or glitching on desktop wallpaper, or green dots when clicking something on browser randomly.

 

Now you are just going to say its probably GPU and im not saying it is not the gpu fault BUT the weirdest thing of them all was that IT NEVER CRASHED OR FREEZE when inside any game and just playing it without alt tabbing or changing settings.

 

I first thought it sure is the temp making this but msi afterburner and hwmonitor show for gpu to be working at 70c max on auto fans and with like 50 percent fans always it gets to maybe 65 which is insanely good because this gpu was working in internet caffe and termals were never changed, also its rx 580 which get pretty hot.

 

On the other hand CPU is pretty hot like almost 50 idle under small load like 20 percent it gets to like 60-65 and under full load it gets to 74 which is also weird because scaling of temp doesnt make sense. I needed to go home so i didnt resolve the problem but next time ill bring my gpu and try mine in his system and im gonna reinstall windows and drivers just to be sure also im gonna bring one more fan to put into case because there is only one exhaust but i would like to see other peoples opinion on this situation.

 

Also i forgot to mention i did Heaven it passed and i did prime95 for like 15 minutes i worked aswell, and forgot to say there was one time it blackscreened when i was in csgo and alt tabbed went to browser and played youtube video - maybe RAM?

Hi and welcome.

We are not gamers here - hence the slow response to your question I suspect.

 

From your description you would automatically suspect the Video Card - you say you are going to swap this so that should eliminate that from the equation.

 

You ask about RAM.

Try running on just 8Gb - swap modules over if no change.

 

If you haven't re-installed Windows yet you could try running System File Check.

 

I see you have posted this on a few other sites - I hope you resolve this strange problem.
