Hello, I own a PC built about five years ago. It performed well until an upgrade from an 1650 GPU to an RX 6700 caused occasional VGA errors on my motherboard. After resetting BIOS, reseeding RAM and GPU, discharging static, it worked for a couple of weeks before the problem returned. Over time, it kept happening every time I powered it on. I've tried different power supplies, used a single stick of RAM, swapped out the board entirely, and even removed everything except essentials. The issue seems linked to the motherboard rather than just the hardware, but I've tested another unit without success. Current specs: MSI B450 Pro VHD Max R5 3600, XFX RX 6700, 16GB Team Group DarkZ 3200 CL16 RAM, Seasonic Core GC 650W (new).

Hello, it seems the graphics card might not be suitable. Have you changed it to a different, fully functional configuration?

Hey, I don't think it's the graphics card since the system runs smoothly with no crashes or artifacts. If you want to test it on another build, just try it on your friend's PC and let me know what happens.

It turned out the GPU was handling the task properly.
