What's wrong with the GPU?

Recently, gaming particularly “heavy” games, it blue screens or freezes with blocks/stripes of green/white/purple.

I’ve tried a fresh install of Windows, a different drive that I know is fine, different NVIDIA drivers. So I’ve narrowed it down to the GPU.

I’ve done some runs of Furmark, and each time, when it gets to >75C it usually blue screens or freezes with blocks/stripes of green/white/purple, and if it doesn’t do that on its own, a reasonable tap on the keyboard where the GPU chip is causes it.

Is this a sign that it needs BGA reballing by a repair shop, or is it a more serious less-repairable issue?

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Joe McKinnon try some GPU throttling and see if it makes a difference. Root cause for this is poor airflow to keep things cool. https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.ph...

Yep, “Recently, gaming particularly “heavy” games, it blue screens or freezes with blocks/stripes of green/white/purple.” thats a sign of a dying/deadGPU. If the GPU in this machine is modular and can be replaced it is a simple and relatively inexpensive fix if you have the right part. However, if the GPU is soldered to the motherboard that would require a motherboard replacement which is by far not the easiest thing to replace and it will be costly.
