Hello, i'm new here to the linustechtips form, and i really need help overclocking my GTX 660Ti. I got this card over a year ago, and could never overclock it. Any increase on the core clock would result in my game freezing, and a message saying, "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" (pic: http://imgur.com/LkguEU4)

Any help would be appreciated

Specs:
i5 4670K (OC 4.3GHz)
ASUS GTX 660Ti DC2OC-3GD5
EVGA SuperNova 750G PSU
ASRock Z87 Extreme4 mobo
Windows 8.1 64bit

Overclocking is never an exact science and in extreme cases it can't be done at all.

If you haven't already, download and install the latest stable Nvidia driver and overclock again. Start with the core clock and keep going until the GPU becomes unstable. Once you know its limit, repeat the process for the memory clock. Finally, when you have both limits, run a stress test to verify that the temperature is at an acceptable level.

I have the latest drivers, i can adjust the clock and memory and it will run fine when idle. It crashes in any stress test or game. i even tried it on my brothers computer. Same results.
