Hello everyone.

My name is Gints. I'm new here.

So my problem is kinda complicated. In short words main problem is my display driver crashing after Titanfall map starts. Game then goes "Not Responding".
V-card: ASUS GTX550 Ti DC TOP

I've tried different display drivers, changed my PSU, because I tought that, that was causing this problem - nothing changed. Low settings in-game, on Nvidia control panel all settings set to off, or lowest possible, V-sync is disabled.

Most scetchy thing is that with 8800GT game goes pretty well and doesn't crash ever!

So I took my card to repair centre and they tested it 27 hours on FurMark and NO ERRORS. Temps were ~77 deg/C on high load.

I'm so confused right now...
I'm thinking of buying other card - i.e. GTX 660

Other PC specs:
MOBO - ASUS P5G41T-M LX
PSU - OCZ ZS Series 650W 80Plus
RAM - 8GB - Corsair 2x4GB kit.
OS - WIN 7 64bit.

Looking forward on solving my problem.

Regards,
Gints from Latvia.

If you haven't been running a "clean installation" of drivers, that could easily be causing some issues. Run the guru3d driver removal tool, and then reinstall nvidias latest SUPPORTED drivers, no beta versions.

It's almost 2 years now. Warranty ended in last november. I took it to the shop where it was bought - they tested it like it was still under warranty. Tests were successfull - as I mentioned above 27 hours of FurMark.
Thanks.

It's been almost 3 years now, but I solved that problem not long after posting here. Just forgot to log in here, sorry.
As it turned out, t was bad graphics card and factory warranty was still valid. Gave it back to retailer and got a refund which helped me to purchased GTX 660.
Good to know that most of Asus products has 3 year factory warranty.
Thanks for helping resolving this issue. FYI if other card works just fine - most likely primary/ glitchy is just dead.

BR,
Gints.
