Hi, my name's Anton. I think those who may drop by to help me out know what the error message from windows that I used as my title means to a computer user. Without further ado, I'd like to rid myself of this life long curse and finally be happy.
Specifications of my computer build:
Operating System: Windows 8, 64-bit.
Motherboard: Asus Maximus V Formula (Bios Version: 1903)
Central Processing Unit: Intel i7 3770k (No overclocking)
Graphics Processing Unit: Asus GTX Titan (No overclocking) (Geforce Driver: 337.5)
Power Supply Unit: Thermaltake TR2 RX 1200W
Storage Unit: OCZ RevoDrive 3, PCI-Express SSD 240gb (174.9gb used)
The Deal:
So I enjoy playing video games. I play them in all sorts of different colors and sizes. However one issue stops me from doing so, and as a result I can't have the fun I bought for thousands of dollars : /. It's difficult for me to tell you step by step what happens, but I'll do my best. I start up the game, and for the first few seconds in game I'm fine (I am able to navigate things such as main menus and such), however ranging from a 5 seconds to 15 minutes of gameplay, the game freezes (the sounds that just happened recur annoyingly), the screen goes black, and then it all goes back to normal with the exception of a little windows error in the bottom right corner of my screen telling me exactly what my title is: Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. It tells me the name of the driver, and then promptly disappears expecting me to understand any of the nonsense that just transpired. Before I go on about the solutions I have attempted, I would like to add extra information about what happens. During these crashes, an interesting thing happens to my gpu usage percent. After the deed, I immediately go to MSI afterburner and check temperatures to see they are nominal and that my fan speeds correspond in the ways I have them loaded, but the one outstanding thing is that during the time of the crash, the gpu usage percent sky-rockets to 99% and that's when the game crashes. By no means have I been trying to run Crysis 3 downsampling 4k (which I have actually been able to do in the past, it was fun), this particular issue persists in all games, but the ones Iv'e been playing aren't exactly gpu intensive, especially for my titan (The three main ones are World of Warcraft, Planetside 2, and Fistful of Frags). Another issue that sometimes occurs in the same time period as the crash, and is directly correlated, is that the msi afterburner application turns off (This is most likely due the driver crashing, therefore putting my gpu into the state where it's not loading anything, which in turn causes the application to believe there isn't any graphics card. I'm no expert, but I wanted to apply as much information as possible.).
Failed Fixes:
Driver Reinstallation.
Operating System Reinstallation
Motherboard Bios Flash.
Firmware updates to ssd.
100% GPU Fan usage
100% CPU Fan usage
Underclocks
Overclocks
Regedits (TdrDelay and TdrLevel, both kinds of values)
Lowering in game graphics settings
Playing around with 3d settings and resolution settings in Nvidia control panel.
Geforce Experience game optimizations
Yelling Profusely
Malware and antivirus scans (Malwarebytes and Windows Defender)
Motherboard/Graphics Card/CPU/everything reseats
Thermal compound reapplications
Power Management set to all three kinds
Different Operating Systems (Namely 32-bit Win8, and both kinds of Win7Ultimate)
Putting GPU into different systems
Oh God:
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps, and if you read this and decide not to, I don't blame you. I really, really hope this doesn't mean a new piece of hardware.
