What are the specs of your PC?

Did you completely remove and reinstall the drivers for all your PC components?

jamiebeech · Apr 5, 2015

Ok my specs

Windows 7 HP 64 bit
Intel i3 4330 hd
Gtx 750 ti
4gb ddr3 ram
Gigabyte GA-H81M-H mobo

Yes reinstalled everything fresh including resetting bios.

After trying numerous fixes I thought it was my gtx 660 so I bought a 750 ti and had exact same problem.

What I have tried:-

Tried numerous gpu drivers new and old
Ran a ram test(all fine)
Cleaned pc internally

Might be worth mentioning that it will play fine on integrated graphics and will never crash

Cit 500cb power supply

Completely uninstall and wipe the old GPU drivers from your system, completely shut down and turn on your PC. Then go to Nvidia's website and download the latest stable drivers. Follow the instructions exactly as they state. After the drivers are installed, restart your PC and then try playing on dedicated GPU.

EDIT: Your problem might be your power supply which isn't very good quality.

Your psu is scary. It's likely the problem. You should replace it before you burn down your neighborhood.

Tried that three times Icar! but still exact same problem. Im thinking it could be mobo or psu but its weird that it worked perfect before I changed hdd

That's not really relevant. Your PSU is an issue - it's poor quality. Graphics cards require a lot of stable power and voltage.

Ok I will buy new PSU and try again. Any recommendations on which one to buy for my current setup(if I can get it working will be upgrading gpu to hopefully gtx 980 in about 4 to 6 months time so it will need to cover that)
