Hello Guys
a few days back I increased my CPU speed to boost FPS in Arma 3 everything worked fine. Once I successfully overclocked it, I thought about doing the same for my GPU. After that, my PC began shutting down randomly whenever I opened Windows. I realized my GPU might have been faulty from the factory. Could this be the cause? I’m expecting a new GPU and CPU soon, but I want to fix this issue first.

I’m not seeing BSDOS blue screens or any warnings, just sudden shutdowns without explanation. Events aren’t showing anything either.

Specs:
- 1660 TI GTX NVIDIA OC from factory
- Ryzen 7 2700X
- PSU: Asus 850 watts (confirm at home)
- MOBO: -AUSUS AMD b450 -A/CSM

Switch the GPU to its standard setting and check if the issue resolves.

If it returns to normal, it might indicate the double overclock affected the system.

Let's run the test and observe the outcome.

Probably a combination of both overclocking led to the instability.

by both overclocks refers to the 2+ GPU and the CPU, not just one or the other. My GPU was already overclocked from the factory.
