I have a gtx 275 with the latest drivers. I was previously using EVGA Precision to overclock the card. I was doing fine, the fan was manually kicked up to 80% at all times. It was a small overclock just to give me a couple extra FPS.
I was playing the bad company 2 beta when all of a sudden the screen flickered between white and black. This happened for a couple of seconds before I finally control-alt-deleted out of it.
I tried relaunching the beta, and noticed then whenever i joined a game it was beyond laggy. I couldnt even select my weapon. I exited, opened EVGa precision, and noticed that even though the overclock settings were still applied, my core clock shader clock and memory clock were sitting beyond low (like, 100mhz low).
I uninstalled the drivers, uninstalled precision, and then reinstalled both. The problem was still happening. Although I'm able to adjust the fan speed, the clocks are still sitting on their low settings.
Out of curiosity, I downloaded RivaTuner. Whaddya know... RivaTuner lets me overclock the card successfully back to where it should be (factory settings). Yet, for some reason, when I open back up precision, it kicks the settings back down.
I don't care about EVGA Precision. I don't mind using RivaTuner. I'm just trying to find out as to why this is happening, considering the fact that it was working perfectly fine until today. I did everything possible... reinstalled drivers, rolled back to previous drivers, etc.
