Okay so i have have no problems at all with my GPU/drivers until this weekend. Whenever I play games like League of Legends or World of Warcraft, my display drivers crash about 5 minutes in. Both of my monitors turn into a vertical line pattern and im forced to hard restart my cpu. I have not done anything such as software changes or hardware changes that could have caused this problem. All of my games are unplayable now and I am in desperate need of answers.
Some of the things I have tried:
1) Update drivers/revert to older versions of drivers
2) Underclock my gpu (GPU was at stock settings, i never overclocked)
3)lowered in game settings
4)Refreshed my CPU (windows 8 feature)
5)reinstalled drivers
Also, when the crashes would occur, i would be monitoring my GPU via MSI Afterburner, my temperatures were fine, usually around 55-60 while ingame. My GPU usage was around 60-70% while ingame, and would spike to 100% and crash most of the time.
If i play WoW in windowed mode, and make the window really small, i can play with no problems, but its so tiny, I dont know if this helps but i found in interesting. I am also running dual monitors with (22" LED 1920x1080 -- ASUS VS228H-P and a Generic PcP monitor thats like 18"
