I have a gtx 1660 super which turns off in the middle of doing something. I don’t get any output to my monitor and even restarting doesn’t solve the problem. It is quite random and very frustrating to say the least. The only solution I have now is to wait for an hour or so and restart - I’ll get display output if I’m lucky.

When the gpu stops, the motherboard debug led doesn’t light up. The led lights up only when I restart the PC.

Is there any way to check if the issue lies with the motherboard or the gpu without using another graphics card ?

(I dont have integrated graphics either, because I have an i5 10400f)

My motherboard is - MSI B460 M Pro VDH wifi

EDIT: Got a 4 month used rx 6600 for ~ $120 and now this problem no longer happens. it’s not a substantial upgrade from my 1660 Super but an upgrade nonetheless.

    I got a different GPU (an rx 6600) and it works fine. Never had the display blacking out problem even once.

    If it’s a problem with the VRAM, will my 1660 super be fixable ? I would like to give it to my younger sibling, if I can get it fixed.
