I'm having an odd issue with my graphics. Mid game, most often 5-10 minutes in, the graphics crash. Both monitors display the "no signal" message and start searching for a signal. In the mean time, the PC is still outputting audio, so the PC isn't completely locked up. I can button-mash and it'll make sounds, video or streams keep playing. But the graphics don't come back. Not even when I restart the driver with WIN+CTRL+SHIFT+B. In order to reset the graphics, I have to hard shut down via holding the power button down. But it doesn't happen all the time; sometimes I can go for days without issue.
PC specs:
Windows 10
Asus H97i Plus
i7 4790 w/ Kraken x61
GTX 1070FE
EVGA 650 Platinum PSU
2x8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3
Samsung 850 (M.2)
no overclocks anywhere
Errors on Event Viewer
Adding to the confusion, I don't get consistent errors. Sometimes I get:
Graphics Exception on BE 29: CRD_CACHE_HIT_FROM_OTHER_GPC
nvlddmkm: "The description for Event ID 13 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
....(like 10 similar errors with different exception strings)
Sometimes:
Warning Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler 414 Task Misconfiguration Task Scheduler service found a misconfiguration in the NT TASK\Microsoft\Windows\....
(bunch of errors with different tasks)
Sometimes it doesn't record any errors, and I think I've seen a few others. Most often, they have to do with the task scheduler, nvlddmkm, or tasks not having the correct access.
Onset:
The whole PC is ~2 years old, except for the 1070, which was new in October. Everything ran well from October to December. In late Dec, I'd get these crashes every so often, but not consistently enough to expect or compensate for them. Last week, they started happening consistently every time I pushed the hardware (Overwatch and Rocket League)
Troubleshooting:
I've done most of the nvlddmkm trouble shooting: I've checked the connections, got the high power plan, the PCIE power saving is turned off, changed the theme, rolled back the drivers as far as it would go without running drive sweep, PC is up to date, updated all the other drivers, added TdrDelay to the registry, and made sure my temps were reasonable (crashes happen in the low-mid 70's). I then reformatted and did all that again. All to no avail.
Next, I'm going to try the oldest 1070 driver I can find and upping the voltage with EVGA Precision. (got the tests set up to go after work).
Any suggestions on other things to check? Or if it is hardware failure, is there any sure way to tell if it's a PSU, GPU or Mobo issue?
