I've had this Sager laptop with a GTX 1060 for a few months, it's been running fine up till now, when I started getting random blue screen involving my video driver. Games started crashing to my desktop after 2 seconds of playing. I would play overwatch, and the second I load in, it would say "Your rendering device has been lost!". I would play Battlefield 1, and it would get Direct X function crashes a few seconds into the game. Elder Scrolls online is crashing the second the game loads. Counter strike will constantly freeze and my monitor would turn on and off.
So I spent the past few days troubleshooting, reinstalling the newest drivers, even reset windows, but I'm still facing the same issues.
I did a Furmark test, and it ran fine for a long time. It hasn't crashed on me.
I recently did a Unigine Benchmark while running GPU-Z to check for issues, it started freezing, and my laptop screen started blinking on and off, with "dead zones" in the GPU-Z log where it seems like my graphics card turned on and off. The GPU clock and load would spike, it would turn off for a split second, and turn back on. What does this mean?
