My old GT 610 was an ongoing headache. Games would crash with blue screen, crashes without blue screen and TDR errors with no crash. Games would display artifacts like odd flickers on part of the screen, graphics corruption and the like. Event viewer would indicate nvlddmkm errors and bugchecks. When it acted up, my Wireless PCI card would slow and online games would show high ping and even disconnect. The 320.18 driver was the most stable for the GT 610.
I calked these up to a cheap card and finally got a 750ti today. Although there have been no hard crashes, I've had a couple TDRs. Turning smooth lighting to max in minecraft caused to black areas to appear in the world, so I switched it back before things went to pot.
Since the new card is having issues, I reckon it's a problem with the MOBO, though it;s unclear whether it's a malfunction or a settings issue. I'm running an Athlon II x3 460 and though it's not overclocked, I do have the 3rd core unlocked. HWinfo show it as a Phenom II x4 B60. It's stable with CPU intensive applications like Chunky (MC rendering program) and the crashed persisted even with the stock 3 cores.
Giving the NB a voltage bump seems to help with both cards. 1.175v is the max and it's current.y at 1.1500v. I've read about Realtek LAN drivers causing conflicts with NVIDIA drivers and I tried rolling back to older ones and upgrading to newer ones. Same result. Beyond that, not sure what to try next.
- MOBO:
BIOSTAR Group A880G+
- CHIPSET:
AMD RS880 + SB750/SB710
- CPU:
AMD Phenom II X4 B60 (unlocked from Athlon II x3 460)
3200.7 MHz = 16.00 x 200.0 MHz @ 1.4000 V
- NB: 2000.5 MHz = 10.00 x 200.0 MHz @ 1.1500 V
- HT clock:1800 MHz
- RAM:
Current Timing (tCAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS): 9.0-9-9-24
PNY Electronics: 666.7 MHz (DDR3-1333 / PC3-10600)
SK Hynix: 533.3 MHz (DDR3-1066 / PC3-8500)
(NOTE: crashes occur with either 1 or 2 sticks of ram. Underclocking the DDR3-1333 Ram or overclocking the DDR3-1066 RAM yields no difference in stability. Both set to 1.5v)
- GPU:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
-Video Memory: 2048 MBytes of GDDR5 SDRAM [Elpida]
-Current driver: 347.88
- NETWORK:
RealTek Semiconductor RTL8168D/8111D PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter
So, if anyone could help be rule out the cause, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks in advance.
