When playing any game, it crashes at random times (Overclocked) EVGA 750Ti FTW

insanekiller1 · Nov 30, 2016

Hello, I'm having an issue. Hopefully someone can help me.
Was updated to latest drivers at the time (happened all the time anyways)

Whenever I overclock my GPU I crash, even at low OC settings.
GPU OC settings:
GPU CLOCK OFFSET: +120
MEM CLOCK OFFSET: +60
Fan speed: 65%
My temps stay around 65° Celsius

This is what happens in-game:

At a random time, the game will freeze for a second or two. The screen goes black (~2sec), then returns to game. The game is still frozen after black screen, audio still playing. Audio then cuts out after ~5 seconds. This happens with any game I play, playing games on SSD.

When the screen goes black, it acts like I'm installing new drivers for my GPU. I have double monitor setup, and both of them have the same affect.

Full Specs

AMD FX-6300
EVGA 750Ti FTW Edition
12GB DDR3 (1600MHz) (2*4GB, 2*2GB) Different variations of RAM
GIGABYTE 970A-DS3P

Thanks.

Do the issues still occur with no OC?
If so, it could be a power issue, or it could be a loss in the silicon lottery.

What PSU do you have, and have you touched the voltages?

Give the following a try, if it helps, good, if it doesn't we got an easy fix out of the way:

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.

Gam3r01 :

I do not experience the crashing when not OC. I have a 750 Watt 80+ Gold PSU.

I think I tried this, but just to make sure, I'll do it again.

Glad I gave it another try. Also, for anyone else experiencing any problems similar to mine, I did use the uninstaller tool in Safe Mode.
Thank you James Mason
