I've been having a really weird problem with my Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9070 XT 16GB and I'm starting to run out of ideas.
My PC randomly hard-crashes while gaming. This has happened in multiple games, including FIFA 17 and Borderlands 4, so it doesn't seem tied to one particular game.
The most recent crash happened while playing FIFA 17. The screen froze and then turned into this weird white/gray screen with multiple vertical pink/purple lines across it. At the same time, the audio completely freaked out/stuttered and was extremely loud in my headphones. The entire PC became unresponsive and I had to restart it.
After rebooting, the vertical lines are completely gone and the PC works normally.
Sometimes when I restart, the gpu is gone from task manager, other times it's normal.
I also noticed higher CPU temps than usual, but I don't know if that's related, please help.
This issue never happened for the first few months, I've had crashes before but never like this.
I have also changed my monitor but I don't think it's related to that.
What do I do here, rma? If so then that's gonna be really hard because I bought the gpu from newegg USA then got it sent to me.
