Question about GPU: Is the issue with your system or the components inside your computer?
Recently, I've noticed my computer's GPU usage reaching high levels and causing crashes, especially after playing games for over 20 minutes. This situation hasn't occurred before but has now become a major concern. Could this be connected to a virus or malware, or is it due to an underlying system problem?
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
I’m facing a major problem with my computer.
When I share a troubleshooting thread, it’s important to provide detailed system information. Please list your specifications clearly, such as:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
RAM:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model. Also, note the BIOS version for your motherboard at this time.
My GPU usage frequently spikes to 90-100% and causes crashes.
You’ll notice this happening for two possible reasons:
1) an overheating problem
or
2) the PSU can’t supply enough power under load.
Moved the thread from the Components section to the Systems section.
