@gilesgoat@toot.wales I have been investigating why my PC crashes playing some games, tested it with Furmark and it was crashing after 5 minutes. Using MSI Afterburner I can set a reduced gpu power draw and max allowed temperature and that seems to fix the problem, furmark ran for 10 minutes without crashing.

@llamasoft_ox@toot.wales @gilesgoat@toot.wales Is it quite an old GPU? If it's overheating from Furmark I'd be tempted to see if the thermal paste needs replacing, but it's an absolute pain in the arse to do that with a GPU!
