Hi,

I bought with my friend PSU Fatal1ty 550w and Geforce GTX 560 Ti from the same store, and we both have same problem. Our PCs freez no matter if in stress, browsing Internet or when nothings happen. It happens around 3 times per 24 hours. It first occured 4 months after I put those parts in PC, and about month earlier for my friend. Once after freez, screen flashed few times and come back to life with information that "Nvidia driver has recoverd efficiency"


My components:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Motherboard ASUS M4N68T-M-LE-V2
CPU AMD Athlon II X4 640
Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti (GT 430 before)
PSU OCZ Fatal1ty 550w (no name brand 430W before, descripted as ticking bomb)

screen from HWMonitor:

I've reinstall Windows and it didn't help for a day. Memory check test run with no problems detected.

I have checked power supply voltage through BIOS for 30 minutes and in HWMonitor for around 4 hours (screen above) and it was correct.

1) You changed the GPU. 2) You maybe don't use "Perform clean install" which will remove all previous NVIDIA drivers and NVIDIA registry entries from your computer. 3) The error messages point to the GPU driver.

So you need to do reinstall the NVidia driver by using "Perform clean install" method. Check the link for " How to".

I've already done it before reinstalling my windows, so I would say it is clearly not software problem.

Looking for answer on other sites I found that one guy had freezes because of too low RAM voltage. I've changed mine from 1.5V to 1.56 and will see if it will help.

After increasing RAM voltage PC stopped freez, run whole day without troubles and I had around 3-4 freezes every day, so I can hopefuly say that problem has been solved! Thank you for help.
