Hey guys, I’ve got a gtx 970 that will turn on and display for up to five minutes then overheat and crash. It’s recognized in device manager as a video display in other devices and Nvidia won’t let me install driver updates. I’m a broke college student that can’t afford a new card at the moment. What options do I have? Os: Windows 10 Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming Cpu: Ryzen 2700x

Reapply the thermal paste, and then try testing the card in another pci-e slot. I would also suggest cleaning out any older gpu drivers by using display driver uninstaller.

I’ve tried re applying the thermal paste but still have the same problem, I’ll try using ddu.

I updated some settings in my original post just now. The fans turn until it overheats or shuts down. I downloaded gpu-z and tried to run it but the computer crashed before I could screenshot.

"overheats after 5 minutes" How hot is it getting? Does it show the core temperature in GPU-Z?

I wish I could tell you but it doesn’t last long enough for me to check the temperatures anymore before it shuts off. If I try to start the pc up right after it crashes the graphics card fans will make a rattling noise.

The Maximum GPU Temperature for a GTX 970 GPU chip (see Specs) is 98C, and should start thermal throttling (downclocking) at 80C to keep the GPU Temperature down. What you can do with GPU-Z is to click the little "?" button to the right of Bus Interface to open the Render Test..Then switch to the Sensors tab..Then run the Render Test while observing the GPU Temperature and GPU Clock. You could also run a Unigine Benchmark such as Superposition, Valley or Heaven while observing the GPU Temperature and GPU Clock. Then see what happens/when it shuts down..Report back with the results.

It takes 5 minutes to boot up your PC and launch GPU-Z? With a slow hard drive, that process should take a minute maximum. It sounds like you have bigger problems. I wouldn't assume that the GPU is overheating without any evidence of such. It's more likely that whatever is causing your computer to take 4.5 minutes to boot is also the cause of it crashing.

+1.... this sounds more like you have a virus or a trojan working your gpu for mining or something. Have you done any malware/antivirus scans? ccleaner? Registry cleaning? if you have a HDD,not a SSD, have you cleaned and defragged it? Theres no way in the world a idle gpu, or cpu even, could overheat doing nothing unless the sinks were totally clogged and the fans werent spinning and even then it would take more than 5 mins.

Do this. Disassemble the card and bake only the PCB (aka the 'oven trick')..Solder cracking somewhere on the PCB may be the problem..Baking it should reflow any solder cracks that might exist. Solder cracking can cause all kinds of problems, not limited to, but mostly artifacting, BSOD and freezing. I bake at 200C/390F (preheated) with the GPU side up for 10 minutes. Then hope for the best.

If you decide to bake the card make sure you bake it in an oven you don't use for food.

Or better yet! Bake it in someone else's oven I baked a few cards back in the day when I lived with Mom. It really does leave a metallic like smell/odor for about a week or so. So this close to Thanks Giving, you might not use a primary oven. I'd borrow someones Toaster Oven like Sajin said, the heat distribution is a little more direct in toaster ovens as well. edit: I meant to ask, have you tried putting your card into another system and installing drivers? Just to isolate the issue directly to the GPU?

I believe if my card was getting to where i needed to throw it in an oven and maybe or maybe not make it work again i would be using that as the best excuse ever to get a newer/better video card and be done with it.
