Hello once again Toms!

It seems (fingers crossed) I have finally resolved the issues described in this thread:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2838508/micro-freezing-bsods-display-driver-crashes.html#16863015

After two re-installations of Windows and pulling my PC apart it looks as though I have finally beaten this thing and it looks like MSI Afterburner was one of, if not the sole cause of my problems.

So my question is, can you think of anything within Afterburner that could have caused the crashes that could therefore be resolved simply by turning said feature off or, are there any equally strong alternatives? I have not overclocked my GPUs (MSI GTX 970 Gaming) and simply use it for monitoring GPU performance and for a Custom Fan Curve.

Thanks for your input,
Conor

can you explain the problem briefly again? because i think i may have the same thing going on.

Edit: nevermind. but i get those same blue screens, buzzing noise, crashes and everything. how long have you been running stable since you got rid of afterburner?

After re-installing Windows I had no issues for a couple of days until I reconfigured Afterburner at which point the crashes began again. I removed it again yesterday and have been running various Stress Tests, both for my CPU and GPU all day and have had no issues. Will be doing a 12 hour AIDA64 test overnight to 100% confirm.

i would be seriously grateful if you can report back with your results. i think you and i are having the same thing going on. i too have a GTX 970 but it would do the same thing when i had my HD 7970 as well.

Hey dangus.
No issues whatsoever and my system has successfully passed a 12 hour AIDA64 Stress Test, lets just hope things stay this way!

So, back to the question at hand. Is there anything I can do to fix Afterburner or are there any alternatives? I just want the Fan Control and the monitoring can come in handy.
