When are the display and GPU fans operating at their highest speeds?
When are the display and GPU fans operating at their highest speeds?
I've installed my system a month ago and it operated smoothly until yesterday when the screen abruptly went black and the GPU fans began spinning extremely fast. Both the GPU and CPU temperatures remained normal before the crash; they never surpassed 60°C. This unusual failure happened twice since then, only during gaming sessions. After leaving the PC in Sleep Mode overnight, I tried to use it again this morning but found the GPU non-functional—no display and no RGB output. I reinserted the GPU, and it is now working, though I’m unsure if the initial issue has been resolved.
I attempted stress testing the GPU using Heaven Benchmark at maximum settings for half an hour; temperatures stayed below 63°C. I also tried FurMark for about ten minutes, and everything was fine.
Here are my system details:
GPU: Gainward Ghost 3050 (Driver: 512.77)
CPU: i3-12100f stock cooler
Motherboard: Asus Prime H610M - K D4
RAM: Corsair Vengeance PRO 8 x 2 3200MHz (operating at 2133 MHz during the incident)
PSU: Corsair CV650 650W 80Plus Bronze
Event Viewer errors:
1:
Provider: Microsoft Windows Kernel Power
ID: 41
Description: The system rebooted without a clean shutdown. This could be due to the system failing to respond, crashing, or losing power unexpectedly.
I think this happened because I performed a hard restart after the crash.
2:
Provider: Microsoft Windows WHEA Logger
ID: 1
Description: A fatal hardware error occurred. A detailed record of the event is available in the data section.
Update: it was only a defective GPU. It failed after a few months.
I appreciate your clarification. I concluded the issue is related to the PSU because the GPU requires power from the PSU, and the fans spinning indicates the system is drawing power.
