I’ll explain it in simple steps, one at a time.

I cleaned my GPU yesterday and it was dusty. After replacing the CMOS battery, it worked for a while until tonight. If the GPU issue is real, I’m considering buying a 3070 NVIDIA RTX 8 GB. My current model is the 2070, which isn’t on sale anymore. I’m running a test on OCCT that should take about an hour. I’ve installed MSI Afterburner and plan to lower power afterward. But my GPU seems fine—still stock, not overclocked. FurMark crashed right when I began it.

I've completed the test for 30 minutes with no issues found.

Because you've already adjusted stock settings, try reducing the power limit by 15–20% in MSI Afterburner to check for stability improvements. Execute the OCCT GPU + VRAM test—it usually identifies memory issues more quickly than FurMark. Review Event Viewer once more for WHEA-Logger or nvlddmkm errors. If lowering power helps, it suggests your GPU’s power delivery or VRAM is failing under stress. Upgrading to a 3070 would likely resolve the problem, but verify this by testing your GPU on another system or another GPU in your setup if feasible.

Adjust your power settings by following the specific instructions provided. Would you like me to run Furmark as part of this process?

Additionally, I'm having trouble locating the WHEA-Logger in the Event Viewer.

If you miss WHEA for Logger, don’t stress—Windows often records crashes under display driver or Kernel-Power events. The main clue is consistency: heavy GPU use always leads to instant failure with those specific codes, pointing to hardware or power issues rather than the OS. Watch for memory errors during OCCT; if none appear and only FurMark or games fail, core problems are likely. Reducing power limits can help temporarily; replacement is the permanent solution.

You ran the test and only noticed CPU and RAM usage. If that’s accurate, the process should complete without issues and errors are absent. Critical errors and kernel power faults appear on your event viewer, but OCCT is currently clean. Lowering your power limit might help temporarily, but it’s likely part of the troubleshooting—consider running FurMark after setting the power limit to 80% from 100%.

Reducing the power cap to 80% helps identify issues, not a long-term solution. The aim is to check if lowering power usage brings stability under stress. Adjust MSI Afterburner to 80% and replay FurMark or a game. If crashes cease, it points to power or VRAM limitations. If problems persist even at 80%, the GPU likely needs replacement. This step confirms whether the fix works before committing to upgrades.

I hit the FurMark with 80% power cap and saw the immediate crash—definitely a sign it’s time for a GPU upgrade. https://www.amazon.es/-/en/NVIDIA-GeForc...AnSA%3D%3D Was considering an upgrade, what do you think?
