Is my GeForce GTX 1060 dying?

Hey everyone,

When I boot up my PC, the LED right above the GPU power connector glows solid white. Check the link for the pic. Everything runs fine until I actually launch a game; then, after about 2 or 3 minutes, the FPS tanks and the whole thing starts stuttering. I've had this rig for two years and it’s been smooth sailing until now. Anyone dealt with this before or have an idea what's going on?

If the warranty on that GeForce GTX 1060 has already expired, I suppose there's an old, tried-and-true method you could try...

If you're getting a solid white light, there's no power reaching it.
A blinking white light usually means an issue with the power supply.

The problem is likely the GPU's power delivery. Check if that 6-pin connector is actually seated properly. Try unplugging it and plugging it back in. Or better yet, try using a different 6-pin connector from the PSU. Most decent power supplies should have at least two available.

A blinking white light means the power supply is acting up.

Bottom line: your GPU isn't getting what it needs. Check if that 6-pin connector is actually seated right. Unplug it and shove it back in. Or better yet, try a different 6-pin lead from the PSU. Most decent units have at least two.

Everything's plugged in tight. Tried a different cable too. Still the same result—just solid white.

So, that’s it. You're looking at either a dead power supply or a fried GPU. If you can, try swapping in a different PSU or toss that graphics card into another rig to see which part is actually giving up the ghost. But honestly? It looks like something just died on you.
If you happen to have a multimeter handy, you could try testing the voltage directly at the connector.
