Hi all, I've recently been having an issue with what I assume to be GPU, I've posted about it on other forums with no success (or replies) at all. However I've heard it may MAY be an nvidia issue, but I think that may just be wishful thinking.
On occasions when playing certain video games (through steam) the screen will freeze briefly, turn black and then recover and resume gameplay as normal, not even 2 minutes into gameplay. I run far-more graphic intensive games (eg. Skyrim + mods/ENB & Wolfenstein: New Order in comparison to Orcs Must Die 2 and Left 4 Dead 2) without any issue whatsoever for much longer periods of time, so what could this indicate?
Update: Was playing a game just earlier without hitches for 1-1.5 hours before the issue started to appear, it got more and more frequent eventually resulting in a total system freeze.
I've tried clean installing and updating my nVidia drivers and even checking for things like a new Direct X version, even trying to disable things like V-Sync and AA through nVidia control panel/game settings but neither of these were the answer to my problem.
Here are my system specs:
Mobo: Gogabyte GA-990FXA-D3
CPU: AMD FX 8350, Cooling: CM Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: New Gigabyte GTX 780 Ghz edition.
PSU: New Seasonic XP-760 Platinum 760W
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2x4gb) 1600Mhz
Updates:
Tried the powermizer registry tweaks and disabling steam overlay. Both yielding no results.
Also kept speedfan open, temps never range over 55c even under extreme load.
Furmarked max settings for a solid 10 minutes, temps hit 80c and didn't budge from there, no hiccups or issues at all.
To do:
Try a variety of other stress tests and see what happens.
Try disabling firewalls/AV and see what happens.
