Specs:
Case: Fractal Node 202
CPU: Intel i5 4690k
Motherboard: Gigabyte Ultra Durable GA-H97N-WIFI
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Superclocked, 2048MB
RAM: 12gb, 1 8gb stick, 1 4gb stick, non matching (matching 8gb stick on the way)
PSU: Fractal 450W, Came w/ ca
For a bit of build history, I had an old computer that was getting slightly outdated and I wanted a new, smaller Mini ITX case so I bought a new motherboard, CPU and case. Transferred over the video card, hard drive (250gb SSD), and RAM. The old computer used Windows 7.
The build all went fine until I started playing Battlefield 1 which consistently crashed to desktop, usually with a message that the display driver crashed but Windows was able to recover. Similar graphics issues happened with other games (by other games, I mean Rocket League). I also tried benchmarking the GPU to see what happened under load. So clearly there are graphics issues somehow.
Everything was flawless in the previous computer so I know it's not a problem with the video card, RAM, or hard drive. After I discovered the problems I tried using my old Power Supply and the problem persisted so I know that my new power supply works. I've tried just using the one 8gb stick of RAM and that solved nothing.
Not an overheating issue as the video card doesn't go over 80 (or at least doesn't last long enough to get beyond). I've have crashes as 70*C and 80*C. The CPU idles rather hot (40-50*C) but only gets around 60-70*C so that shouldn't result in crashing.
I was initially on a fresh install of Windows 7, have done multiple re-installs, all drivers updated, etc. Problems persist. I thought I'd try the free upgrade to Windows 10 and again, after all drivers updated, etc the problem persists. The driver for the BIOS is the "F8" version which is the most up to date except for "F9" which is beta and I'd prefer not to go to a beta BIOS version. So all said and done I don't believe it's a driver/software issue. Right now on windows 10 I get a DXGI_Error_Device_Removed error when BF1 crashes.
I'm basically down to a faulty motherboard. I'm about to return it for a different motherboard (ie: not Gigabyte) but I thought I'd see if anyone here has any thoughts.
