I decided some time ago to replace my gtx 560 ti with something better for the upcoming years. Yesterday was the big day, I purchased the MSI GTX 770 Gaming,4GB. I was really happy, and installed it right away when i got home. That's where the trouble started.
As far as I know, I did the installation correctly. Installed the card, installed the driver from the cd and all seemed to work well. I started playing AC3 right away, and everything worked great. Until 20 minutes or so, when the screen turned black, the game crashed and i was returned to the desktop. I also got a message saying: The display driver "NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version xxx (320.49) stopped responding and have been restored".
This is when i started searching many different forums, but i haven't fond a working solution as of yet. I mainly tried to install a different driver, but tried like 6 and none worked I'm currently on 331.65, but it's not working. The crashes keep occurring, even when browsing the web with Firefox. I installed MSI afterburner to track what is happening, and it looks like this (this image shows 4 crashes in a row, while browsing in firefox):
Anyone got an idea what might be wrong? I noticed the weird power spikes, but this seems like a really odd thing to happen while webbrowsing in Firefox.
my specs:
OS: Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit
CPU: intel I5-2300 @ 2,80 GHz
memory: 6,00 GB off DDR3 ram
motherboard: Don't know exactly, mini ITX with intel H67 chipset
PSU: OCZ Technology ZS Series 650WATT, 2 years old
My ideas (but not at all an expert on computers):
1) Faulty drivers
2) faulty graphics card
3) PSU not strong enough?
4) Not enough power. The card has to 8-pin slots, I connected it with 1 6+2-pin and one 6-pin to 8-pin adapter.
Anyone got an idea what might be wrong with my card/system? Any solutions that might be of help?
thanks in advance,
