Hey there. I was playing PUBG like every other day but this time, my Rx 580 8gb overheated and shut down my whole PC. The weird thing is that it was only running at 70 C. and I was still maintaining my clocks. Granted its not exactly chilly, but this card has run at 85 C. max. I have been trying to reproduce this but I can't get it to overheat. Then out of the blue 3 days later, it happens again. I don't know what's happening. This is a 4 year-old card so it may just be dying, but it isn't consistent. Just to add, I was running PUBG at 1080p at low settings. Only using 6gb VRAM at max. I'm pretty sure it's not the VRAM, but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
