Hello,
For some time now, whenever I play games, my screen will crash to a single solid color screen and become unresponsive. It also produces distorted sounds. I have to do a force shut down to restart. Often, after I shut the computer down and reboot, I get as far as the windows 7 login page before the screen goes black and becomes unresponsive.
I tried updating to the newest Nvidia drivers, 334.89 and it helped a little bit by extending the time until the system crashes but occasionally i get the message "nvidia driver stopped responding and has recovered." So maybe it's a driver problem
My specs
Windows 7
Asrock extreme 4 z77
Intel i5 3570k
EVGA GTX 660 ti
Western digital 500 gb hd
G.skill ripjaw 8 gb ram (4 gb X 2)
620w seasonic psu
I did a stress test with EVGA oc scanner for about 1 hour and nothing happened. The gpu reached around 70C and the CPU around 55. I also did a chkdsk and tested the ram with Memtest 86. 0 errors. At this point, I have no idea what the problem is but I think it's the gpu.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you
