A possible help for GPU instability

Hi guys, I am reading that some of you have problems with the GPU, let me post a trick that could help.

These days GPUs have a lot of different states for power management, this is very good for power consumption but generates a lot of stress in the Motherboard components and sometimes it can creates crashed that are not cause of the software.

Well, just find the way to maintain a stable power into the video card, in the case of AMD you can do it this way

putting all the buttons to the same power number, in the case of nvidia I do not know but they probably would have a similar software for do this.

Also in the CPU power management do the same, in windows 10, put it in the same frequency ever. I recommend you to download this power management tool to enable the maximum perfomance in windows 10

This could sound stupid but have solved a lot of problems in my system and this is specially advisable for older system that use older PCIe controllers and circuits that are not adequate for this continuous changes of power demands,

Yes, a lot of problems in computerland, especially pushing the components on hand to the bleeding edge (for those components, such as they are) - one had better provide adequate power, and you're correct, this leads to sometimes unknown or misdiagnosed problems that may appear as software issues, or those components themselves, when it is really about not enough juice, or as you'd suggest, mis managed power resources, often times, at least.
