Kernel driver crashes due to heat,overclocking, and psu failure as what they say. I'm pretty sure my GPU is on the heat side. So I downloaded EVGA Precision X and saw why my GPU heats so bad. From GPU Clock 400MHz, it drops to 51MHz, then go way up high to 900MHz. It does this even when idle, watching a movie, skype, and pretty much in everything I do. So, is this a sign for a new GPU? I've read reviews on GTX 700 series having their Kernel Driver crash aswell. So I don't know what to do. I need suggestions from the experts please. If there's a same post like this already, do comment the link. Thank you.

The changes in operating speeds and the associated heat has been explained above. For the OP, folks are trying to help you.

Just answer their questions and clarify as needed and I am sure you'll be helped.

What are the complete specs for your system? What operating system are you using? Are all of your drivers up to date? What are your idle and loaded CPU and GPU temperatures? Are you overclocking anything (CPU, GPU, memory)?

All of this info will help yo troubleshoot your problem.

These new cards are designed to automatically change the clock speed depending on demand. It's designed to save power. My EVGA GTX770 SC jumps all over the place even at idle from 185 MHz all the way up to 1084 MHz.

Don't know what to say about the kernel driver problems you're having. I've not experienced that.

your card has 4, maybe 5 power states.... 50mhz, 300-400mhz, stock 900-1000mhz full power, 950-1050mhz boost. you obviously have your monitor plugged into your card, so anything little thing that changes on the screen is drawing from the gpu.

im not sure what your asking.... are you getting BSOD... blue screen?

if yes, what is the code that is coming up? what cpu do you have and what gpu do you have?

download 3dmark or unigine benchmark and compare your score to others.

You don't know what exactly I'm asking? Read again :heink: I don't care about those power states but why it jumps all over the place causing my GPU to overheat and receive a ''kernel driver stopped responding and has recovered'' message.
