Hey, first time posting here.
Since yesterday my 2gb 770sc has started having some problems when under load. First they happened only a couple of times a day and I could keep gaming without an issue. Now every time a game loads and the gpu gets a bit of stress, the screen just flickers with pink and green lines and geometric figures until it just crashes and a bluescreen appears. I've deleted and reinstalled the drivers like three times, even installed previous drivers and the problem still hasn't gone away. I'm pretty sure the PSU isn't a problem either since its pretty high quality.
Anyone have an idea of what I can try next? I can't afford a new card and the warranty ended 2 months ago. Thanks in advance
In this link are some pictures of my screen

It kind of sounds like the VRAM may be going bad on your card.

Well that sucks..It's the most expensive PC part I've ever owned and the one that lasted the least

Your link LINKhttp://imgur.com/a/Pjj5h Is the heatsink clean, does the fan spin up with manual control ? Temp of Room ? Temp of GPU, when stressed ? Are you using GPU OC software ? Maybe re TIM the GPU, or just clean and crank the fan up, if your lucky Case have good airflow ? Use Guest RMA and see number of days of warranty based on serial number

Is the heatsink clean, does the fan spin up with manual control ?
Temp of Room ?
Around 24ºC during this summer
Temp of GPU, when stressed ?
I use a custom fan curve, and it sits around 75ºC with the fans at 70%
Are you using GPU OC software ?
The only software I use is precision X, but I've never OC'd the card for more than like +10mhz on the core, and was only for sporadic benchmarking (it's the SC edition)
Maybe re TIM the GPU, or just clean and crank the fan up, if your lucky
Sorry, I don't know what TIM is.
Case have good airflow ?
Yeah, I keep it pretty clean most of the time, it's a corsair 500r
Use guest RMA and see number of days of warranty based on serial number
I'll look into this, thanks for the info.

Yeah, the card is out of warranty according to the Guest RMA thing. Only 2 months over the expiration date..

One can still ask for help from EVGA - whats the worst thing they can say ? Make sure card is registered before asking for assistance  TIM - Thermal interface material I do not know if VRAM are under thermal pads or if they are defective and new pads will not help / already let the magic smoke out
