I have an EVGA GTX 660 video card that stutters and finally crashes the driver after about 20 - 30 minutes of Cities Skylines, Fallout 4, and 7 Days to Die among others. Videos and light games are unaffected. Here's what I have:
EVGA GTX 660
NVIDIA driver 365.10 (just the driver and Physx installed currently)
Z97-AR
i5-4690K
GSKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB x 2 (1600)
Corsair CX 750M power supply (started with a 500)
Windows 10 64-bit
Crucial MX100 512GB
WD Blue 1TB as a second drive
Dell DVI monitor and a Samsung HDMI monitor
- I've tried the video card in a friends machine (he also has a 660) and it ran the video card stability test for about 85 minutes before I stopped it, although I'm not convinced it's not the card.
- I've RMA'd the motherboard, no luck.
- I've run a memory test and it seemed fine. The memory is set to 1600 in the BIOS.
- Using Afterburner I lowered the Memory Clock as low as it can go, no change.
- I've looked at the voltage in the power supply section of the BIOS and it stays very close to 12v.
- I've done a clean install with a variety of updated drivers countless times, I'm getting pretty good at installing Windows and shutting down the privacy stuff.
- I've done new installs with one monitor, trying both out separately.
- I'm sure I've left out a half dozen other things I've tried.
I noticed that GPU-Z shows 0 MHZ after the driver crashes and recovers.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks for the help
