Hey, I'm in a bad spot right now with this MSI GTX 760.
Here is the hell I am in. About 4 days ago I was playing Planetary Annihilation. Things were good then *blam* computer black screens crashes to desktop with "Nvidia Kernel Crashed Then Recovered" or something to that effect. I'm like that's weird, well PA was known as a buggy game. I try to play it again, crashes the whole computer total lock up black screen monitor DISCONNECTS as in, it basically acts as if the PC powered off but it was still running.
Restart computer.
Get the same problem running that game. Move on to other game Unreal Tournament (2015) runs fine.
Then a day or so later I try gaming again, Unreal, Nvidia Kernel crash. Black screen lock up. Planetside 2 same thing. One time it locks up so bad I have to hard reset it and the monitor won't come back on. I have to disconnect the monitor unplug the computer then redo everything and it comes back on. Now the computer will run.
Couple days later I'm like must be a driver issue. I start having Kernel crashes, rarely, while just browsing the web.
Used DDU or whatever it is called and rolled back my drivers. Tried the last ones I knew were stable... same issue.
Then it crashed and I restarted and it wasn't detecting my SSD in the sata port for my OS. Now I am real fucked, so my first solution is replace the PSU.
I read some stuff from some other posters and thought maybe my PSU was bad and was dropping the card or something. My PSU was the Antec 1000 watt true whatever from like 2008 or 07 so pretty old.
Replaced it. Then I had this series of events.
bought the Corsair RM750 power supply. Installed new PSU. Powers up fine, I am thinking we are good to go, removed everything except OS SDD and boom it found it in the new sata port I moved it to.
Then, it crashes. Same issues, Nvidia Kernel. Nvidia kernel crashes. Crashes so much it fucks up my SSD with my OS. I can't even boot windows starts saying stuff about not finding the OS it tries to start windows then blue screens.
So I have to reinstall windows
Lose all apps and drivers
Move card to second PCI E slot the one below the one I always use.
Still having kernel issue
even with old drivers and a clean install
Removed the GPU
now running the PC and monitor on CPU integrated graphics
so far no crashes
What the actual fuck is going on here? Could the mother board be bad and the PCI-E slots are screwed? Or is the Card bad?
I have the MSI Z87-G45 Gaming mother board- Easy to find out because my computer is sitting here open next to me.
my GPU is the MSI Twin Frozor GTX 760.
I appreciate any help or knowledge in this matter. Regardless I feel like my PC is on life support and I have to pull the plug and go back to my ex-girlfriend Xbox 360.
*Update*
So I placed the card in another PC. Updated the drivers etc. Ran a stress test, boom same thing kernel crash then monitor blacked out. Fortunately I got to the shut down button fast enough so I don't think that PC has any permanent damage like mine had.
Any other thoughts?
