Other than asking if its going on a date, haha, just kidding.

I think mine is almost dead. It would stutters then freeze up, or sometimes just freeze up. I did a windows update and now it seems to work fine for the past couple of days .

Is there a free program to test it?

Thanks!

Define "freeze up" a little better. Like, still picture or black screen?

Do task manager and check to make sure that nothing is close to 100% (Disk, CPU, Memory)

Dying GPUs do not typically result in still pictures. It's not impossible but I'd look for other culprits first. If you were getting a black screen it's a sign of overheating. If it was dying, it'd look more like your monitor was tripping balls.

Thanks, and I will try this later. I haven't seen my monitor trip balls yet, only the still pictures usually while I'm playing a game.

I ran the stress test and there were no problem. So maybe it was an update or something because the card hasn't froze up for the last couple of days.
