What game is this?

Daniel Barnett · Aug 28, 2013

BF3 and Dead Space 3, Doesnt happen in WoW

Well when it drops to 0%, does your game stutter, lag, anything?

Daniel Barnett · Aug 28, 2013

TONS, it literally freezes for 1-2 seconds

fjaesbog · Aug 28, 2013

Basic question, have you updated your GPU drivers?

Daniel Barnett · Aug 28, 2013

Yeah, ive tried WHQL and all the drivers up to the newest beta

fjaesbog · Aug 28, 2013

Have you also updated your MoBo? If not, are you comfortable doing it? MoBo update tends to fix a lot of problems. If your MoBo is at the latest update, then i'd try to re-seat your GPU.

Daniel Barnett · Aug 28, 2013

I've done both of those already, but the last time i tried to install a new bios it may have not worked properly, but I'm pretty sure it did.

fjaesbog · Aug 28, 2013

Try your GPU in another PC, and see if the problem still persists.

Which OS do you have? Give me your BIOS version aswell.

Daniel Barnett · Aug 28, 2013

It's not the gpu i just upgraded a couple days ago and it worked fine on my asus maximus formula q8400 rig
Windows 7 Home Premium
Bios version 1205

Well, it may be new, but i've recieved tons of stuff that was defective at the very start. May be damaged during shipment, or just an typical hardware error. I'd suggest you try it in another PC.

Daniel Barnett · Aug 28, 2013

It wasn't shipped, i used for like a year on my other computer without any problems at all. As soon as i used it for this new Pc, i got the problem. Also if i sound ignorant, i just don't have another pc to plug it into.

fjaesbog · Aug 28, 2013

Sure, you just said your upgraded, so i thought you just bought it etc.
If im correct, and that's your MoBo, and your using Win7 64bit, then there's a new update for it. As i said, MoBo updates tend to fix lots of problems

That is the Deluxe Dual which is a different motherboard.

Yes. Again my solution to this problem is your GPU. When you can, or if you get the chance of trying it in another PC, do it. Or if you find another solution

Well, if it helps, if i run a GPU stress program nothing happens and it runs at 100% for 25 minutes.
I mean it seems like the gpu is fine if it can run the test without a hitch.
