Hey guys,
My 660Ti keeps crashing after about 3mins playing BF4 :'( I'm on the latest 332.21 drivers, and it still crashes (It did on the 331 drivers aswell)
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and no change :/ Any ideas? I'm going to try playing witht he overclocks and bump up the voltage to maybe increase stability. but this is odd. Was going really well !

All help appreciated, don't tell me to upgrade GPU... This one will last untill july i hope.
PS : I get Direct X crashes!

I've tried with and without OC, no change. I'm now trying stock speeds with small volt boost.
Card has about 500gaming hours on it, Pc gets fully dusted evry 6monts. I got a new SSD about 2months ago and dusted it then.

Thank you :) Do you have any way of switching out parts? If you can either try your GPU in a different PC or try a different card in yours to see if the GPU is having issues. Also separately and independently I'd try switching out the PSU to see if that is a problem as well. That way we can either identify or rule out both of those as hardware issues.

Hadn't thought about that :/ I tried a hd6950 in it, and worked. But i can't get access to any other Nvidea cards with this power. I'll try PSU, thanks.

If you tried a different GPU and it worked, I'm definitely leaning towards your graphics card being the culprit. Work with it a little bit just to be sure, but if a different GPU worked when yours doesn't, I'd definitely be suspicious. Is your card still under warranty?

No it's not :/ I've bumped the voltage up a little, not crashed yet :) Must have just been the driver updates, i'll redo my overclocks and stability tests and hope for the best :D
New GPU is coming this summer, so worst comes to the worst i pull out my old 6950 again ;) Thanks for the help
