Hi. My gpu has been crashing lately. Few times it displays the "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" Windows notification, but once it blue screened and before that, the screen just went black and I had to restart the computer. Few times it has also booted itself when Windows froze.
I tried updating the driver after the first time it crashed, didn't help. Neither did updating back to an older driver. I also used DDU to do a clean install. Heat shouldn't be the problem, gpu is under 30 C without load and like 31 C on load (I tested on Pid, not the most demanding game, but full graphics and stuff).
Sometimes the gpu crashed while just browsing, but the weirdest thing I noticed was that it ran Simple Planes at 60 fps on high and didn't crash, but when I pressed Alt+Tab, it crashed. Pid ran fine for as long as I played it, but when I quit the game, the gpu crashed few minutes later.
Here's my setup:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
MB: Asus Maximus Ranger VII
CPU: i7-4790K
GPU: msi GTX 780 This one
Ram: 16GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 1866 mHz (if I remember right)
2x Kingston HyperX Fury SSD (1x 128GB and 1x 256GB)
PSU: Corsair 600M I think it's this one
I still have warranty left on my gpu, so should I return it? Or is this an easy fix? Thanks in advance!
