Mining does not damage your card

Make a extensive memory check like memcheck+

Here i would bet is your problem, if the ram is ok, no CAP has a bubble and your computer is dust free then it's to 80% your PSU
> Mining does not damage your card
Mining certainly does not damage the card, however i'd check the cooling. Overheating might be a problem, and mining means that the card is working at 100% of its capabilities for long times (instead of the usual/occasional gaming session).
could you please tell me what that means ? I googled "CAP bubble computer" and the results were unrelated.
- I wonder how many other people use Nvidia graphics cards on FreeBSD and on Linux.
- A few years ago I used to mine crypto on my graphics card. I made like $20 from it, so if the graphics card is physically in bad shape and this is what caused it then gg on my part for ruining a ~$390 graphics card in order to make about $20.
- The PSU is probably the oldest component in my computer. In fact I think the store I bought it from has been shut down for many years even; that's how old that PSU is. Could it be supplying my computer with bad quality power? Maybe.
- My RAM is of the non-ECC variant. Could cosmic rays be to blame for the crashes? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The BOFH would certainly have said that this was the reason, but even in the real world it could be maybe?
