GPU dead or its is fan dead and GPU is overheating. Had a near identical problem with a Radeon 6950 that was shipped back to me after an RMA. Artifacts at post, bios screen fine. Mine actually booted to Windows though, with the same artifacts. What are the specs of this PC? Specifically, wondering if it's a dedicated or integrated GPU.

Ok so I have a problem...

I have a GTX 660 video card. Recently my monitors have been shutting off after about 5-20 minutes of playing.

The computer is still on when this happens and I can hear the sound playing but it sounds like it is stuck playing the last second of whatever was playing before it froze up.

I downloaded the HWMonitor to look at temperatures and whatnot, and everything appears to be normal.

I thought it might be a driver issue so I attempted to roll back and then uninstall completely.

Finally I just decided it was time for a fresh OS install. After all of that, I'm still having the same problem

Does this sound like my video card may be going bad or could this be a RAM/CPU/PSU issue?

ETA: Just thought of something I haven't tried. I'm going to try to play WoW using the integrated graphics on the processor. I'll have to play on super low settings but that might tell me if it's GPU or not... maybe?
