Hi.
I own a gtx MSI gtx 760 hawk..
And I cannot get a stable overclock everytime I'm adding just a little to the core clock everything crashes. What am I doing wrong? I've heard there was some problems with the latest WHQL driver from Nvidia but im on the newest beta! Should I add something to the voltages? I've already added to "core voltage" And my "Temp limit" and "Power limit" is at max!
BTW look at this link:http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/4709/6/msi-n760-hawk-re...
This card should really be able to oc!

I get the same error with the MSI Gaming OC. It's probably something in the afterburner software. For example: I max out the power limit and voltage (beta version of afterburner) and add 10MHz. I can run Unigine heaven and the temps stabilize around 60C (same as stock speeds) and the drivers still crash after a while.

Sorry I don't have an answer for this but I thought I'd post since I've had similar problems.

Yeah gotcha. It's really annoying especially because if I knew this garbage "hawk" couldn't OC I would not have bought it!

I don't think it's the card since it crashes even after a slight overclock with no increase in temps. Must be either the drivers or the software. You could try something like EVGA Precision or Sapphire TriXX instead of MSI Afterburner and see if that makes a difference.

Well I've already tried EVGA precision X newest version D:

Well I'd help more if I could, but I just don't know what's causing this.
