Hi,

I'd like to ask you here about my issue. I was already asking on the SWTOR forum, but results are not exactly conclusive so far, so I have decided to ask here as well.

While I am playing, GPU driver randomly crashes. This happens purely randomly, and approximately once or twice an hour. I was not able to simulate the exact scenario, as it did not happened next time I have done... let's say a cutscene where it crashed.

I have the latest driver, and I have also tried to perform a clean install with DDU. It changed nothing.

I've checked the system temps, and they are perfectly fine. I have also tried the Heaven Benchmark from the Unigine. GPU usage was 100% and there was no issue whatsoever. The picture did not have any artifacts or anything. At least... as far as I was trying to notice.

Here is the log from the Windows Reliability Monitor... it is in Czech, but I believe that the data can be recognised.

I have also ran a GPU monitoring during playing... and GPU is barely doing anything. It is a mystery to me.

I have also tried to roll back the drivers, but nothing helped. Could it be the power supply? I am somewhat hesitant to believe that this is the hardware issue.

This issue also happened to me once... while I was flying in my Flight Simulator... but downclocking the memory clock by 100 MHz solved the issue, as I have found out this solution on some forum.

Thank you for your opinions and advices :)
