Hello everyone from Tom's Hardware, today I joined this amazing community to ask you smart people to help me find a solution for the most annoying and frustrating problem I have ever found in my life with a computer. Please read how it all began:
I have a 6 months old PC, I just bought a brand new GTX 750 Ti SC from EVGA for a graphics upgrade, my old GPU was GTX 550 Ti.
I was all excited and happy when It arrived, then I opened my PC, removed the old GPU (GTX 550 Ti) and placed the beautiful new GPU (GTX 750 Ti) started up my PC, then after some minutes the Driver has stopped working like every few minutes, then I completely re-installed the NVidia Driver, then rebooted and made a clean install. For some time, It seemed to be working well, then another monstrous problem attacked me from nowhere, the computer randomly freezes (Completely) all the time, the Hard Disk Drive LED usage indicator turns off, the sound keeps looping (Very annoying) and I can't do anything but force shut down (which makes me cry). I've tried many, many, many things I even asked for god's help. Well here is a list of what I've tried so far:
- Completely re-instaledl NVidia Driver [Didn't work]
- Removed NVidia 3D Vision Plugin [Still Didn't work]
- Removed NVidia HD Audio driver [As expected, didn't work]
- Ran a memory check for errors. [Nope, no error's found]
- Ran a memory check with one stick on the board. [As expected, did not work]
- Ran a check disk for error's [As I was guessing, no error's found]
- Cleaned the hardware, fans, memory, PCI slots, pretty much everything [Sadly, didn't work]
- Checked temps: GPU Max: 52c CPU Max: 58c [Looks like good temps, no problems here]
- Checked PSU requirements, it requires 20a on the 12v rail, my PSU has 36a on the 12v rail.
- Increased fan speed to 80% on the GPU [DID NOT WORK]
I have no overclock, everything on my computer is at stock speeds, except for the GPU that is overclocked by default.
There is one thing you should know, I removed this new GPU and placed the old GTX 550 Ti, booted and surprisingly everything, everything was fine! No freezes, no driver issues, no mess!
Right now I'm hopeless, please guys help me find a solution or at least find out what is causing this problems, I really want to play games on good graphics, this old GPU is fine, but I want to use my GTX 750 Ti which is a lot better :'c . If you have a suggestion, please, please tell me here.
Thank a lot for coming here, that's a long text and I'm sorry but I had to say what I needed to say, I'm desperate!
Really thanks.
Oh by the way my specs:
Windows 8.1 Pro
AMD A10 7850K Stock clock speed.
6GB Corsair RAM 1600 MHz
GeForce GTX 750 Ti SC from EVGA
500w 80Plus bronze Corsair CX500 PSU
720GB HDD
