[QUOTE=StefixMaster;28190026]Few days ago i was playing rainbow six siege and after 2 hours green and purple squares(artifacts) appeared on my pc and everything froze and sound was loud and glitchy. I restared my pc and thought my gpu can't handle r6 siege and i stopped playing it. And it happened again when i was watching youtube for few hours but no artifacts like previously maybe because i installed new drivers. I thought it was temperatures but they are fine 52c. Now i tried reinstalling older gpu drivers and i downloaded version 401. and when i was installing it my pc just rebooted i didn't know what is it and when i opened driver installer again it tried installing and said it couldn't install those drivers. Now i somehow have drivers version 388. from 2017. I'm going to use my pc with those drivers and see if i get this problem again. Backstory i bought new parts for my pc(CPU, Motherboard, RAM, PSU) and my pc was restarting for no reason and i found out it was my resart button, it was broken and i fixed it. Then this problem happened. This problem started happening to me 2 years ago but rarely(twice a year) only when i play demanding games. Can you please help me what can i do if older drivers don't work.
Ryzen 3 1200
Nvidia GT 740 1gb GDDR5
Geil 8gb
Asus A320M-K
Thermaltake Smart Rgb 500w
SSD
HDD
I don't think it's something else then GPU.
PS. My gpu is 4 years old so that could be a problem.[/QUOTE]

StefixMaster	Happened again with old ssd without hdd. My ssd and hdd could be bad or they aren't bad but something else is causing the problem.

StefixMaster	Also this time my pc just rebooted without artifacts. And i have a kernel power error 41 in event viewer.

StefixMaster	Unfortunately it happened again without my ssd being connected it's probably my hard disk then since its very old and health is at 25%. I am going to get a new hard disk and see if it helps. No luck this time

StefixMaster	I installed windows 10 on my hdd and everything seems fine. It was that chinese ssd probably. I sent it back. Also i'm going to buy a new gpu probably. Wish me luck that everything works

First i thought it's probably not that but i saw that one guy had the same problem and his ssd died and he used his hdd for everything and it worked. I'm going to send my ssd and see if problem still happens.

StefixMaster	I did the ram test everything is fine. I don't have RMA. I'm probably going to buy a new one. Thanks guys.

I would also do a memtest86 to check for defective memory Link: https://www.memtest86.com/

skupples	i think its that dinky GPU you're using. 1GB vram, wooosh. You're asking a lot of that little bugger. RMA - request manufacturer assistance, AKA warranty claim. really though, i'd just pick up a new/used better card.
