NEED HELP.
Just bought a zotac gtx 1080 mini...
My specs-
Kabylake I5-7600K (overclocked to 5Ghz)
Asus z170A motherboard (bought it long before other parts-updated bios)
Zotac gtx 1080 mini
EVGA 750 watt B1 bronze power supply
1 stick Corsair 2666mhz 8gb DDR4 ram (Running at 2667mhz and at 7.9Gb of it's 8Gb)
Crucial 275gb SSD
1 TB external toshiba drive
Ok so heres my problem. I originally was using the integrated graphics until I bought the 1080. Everything was absolutely fine. When I got the new card I immediately downloaded the newest drivers. Then when I tried to run a benchmark for overclocking it immediately prompted a "(app/game).exe has stopped working". So then I looked it up and I ended up going into safe mode and used DDU to uninstall all the nvidia drivers and did the same for the Intel integrated drivers. Then I reinstalled nvidia latest drivers from nvidia home page. To no avail... It did somehow give the games a little more headroom and the benchmarks will open but still same overall problems. Also when I play easier games/older games they play fine. Besides Planetside 2, the benchmarks I own, and the games Rocket league and Red orchestra 2 I have no problems. Everything else runs fine to my knowledge.
p.s. Video playback is also fine.
So I have since used 3 different nvidia drivers-same problem
I have no Ram issues- memtest
I have reinstalled a benchmark- no help
I am reinstalled and verified Rocket League still doesn't play.
I have updated my Bios to current- no help
I have updated all motherboard drivers- no help.
I have now completely reset windows completely deleting everything- same results.
I RMA'd first card-same results.
HOW I FIXED IT
Finally I took the cooler off, removed previous thermal paste, applied new thermal paste, and put the cooler back on. Runs 20°c cooler and solved all crashing issues, and no more BSOD!
Hope this helps someone in need!
