Hi,
I dont know if this is the correct section but i felt i would get a better response here as oppose to video games.
background:
so, i am having issues with f1 2012 which i bought for steam 2 weeks ago
firstly it worked ok, ran on high-ulta with roughly 80fps
i then installed a few mods - gameplay mods generally (ai, FFB etc) plus a few graphics mods ( tracks in hd, better storm textures)
I tried installing sweet fx but this gave me direct x errors, so was uninstalled
next i added hd mods for cars, this filled my vram so the game ran at 10fps - all uninstalled
all worked well for a few days. then it started pausing by itself and freezing - resulting in alt-tabbing to desktop where the game would work again.
soon the alt tabbing stopped fixing the issue and the game would just crash after freezing (and restart by itself)
after it crashed I had to restart my pc to play it again as it would be stuck on a black screen until it once again - crashed
during this time, I had several "display driver has stopped working but was recovered" messages so I unstalled the latest driver and reinstalled an older version. this appeared to work for a time but the same issues re-emerged so i installed the latest driver again
I couldnt complete a career race (quick race was fine) without it crashing - often on the last lap
.
today:
I got a BSOD during a race (in windowed mode) with the DPC watchdog violation message.
so I uninstalled msi afterburner, which I had been overclocking with but had stopped after issues with this game so used the monitoring properties of it.
during the whole time the gpu didnt get higher than 60C.
Pc bought 6 months ago from dino pc (custem)
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670
Operating System: windows 8.1 64 bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte H87M-HD3
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1660mhz (2x4GB)
Graphics card: Palit GeForce GTX 750 StormX OC 1GB (bought and installed 3 months ago)
Monitors: LG 21.5" 22EN33S-B LED
PSU: 500W PSU (un named)
sorry for the long post but I didnt know if any of it could be significant
hope someone can help,
thanks
EDIT: my bios version is up to date
