I have msi nvidia 9800gt 512MB,it's around 2 years old.The problem is that whenever I play games there is a black screen with monitor power blinking and I had to restart my computer as there is no other way to get back around desktop(Alt+tab,ctrl+alt+del didn't worked).I read almost all article about black screen using google but without specific answers.
My computer won't detect my video card once black screen happens and the only solution I had found is to take out GPU fan,insert gpu without fan to PCIE slot and then boot the computer.PC won't boot,black screen after starting windows screen.But when I take gpu out from pcie slot and then reattach fan(with some thermal paste),it works for around 3/4 days.This is the third time I have repeated this procress.Also there are horizontal small lines and white dots in BIOS screen when my card is not detected.
I am 100% sure it's GPU issue(not PSU,RAM etc).So my question is what's wrong with my GPU?why it works when I repeat my process of inserting gpu without fan and then reinserting it with fan?I have checked the GPU temprature constantly and it never went past 68 C(on load,40 on idle).so it's not temp issue as well.
Also I noticed my GPU shader clock is 1674(1650 default) and core clock ic 663.4(660 default) in msi afterburner.I have attached the screenshot.rivatuner and gpu-z also shows 1674 and 663.4.I have never overcolcked my gpu,I don't have clue how this higher clock was set.
Please guys help me to solve this problem.Thankx in advance
