Hello, I have a NVidia GTX 260 for around an year, but a few months ago I started having serious issues while playing 3D games, like World of Warcraft, Crysis and Starcraft II. The graphics driver crashes constantly, I get graphics errors which can be temporarily fixed with and alt+tab, but sometimes the computer simply freezes or reboots. I was running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 when the problems first started, after googling a while I thought maybe the x86 version would help, but nothing changed. Both OS's are fully updated, and soare the drivers. Tried installing Asus SmartDoctor, but not only the temperature never gets high, also the application also claims the card is ok.
I've ran a few stress tests, took the card to the vendor and he tested it also, and it seems to be working perfectly. These are my computer specifications:
* Board: Asus P5Q3
* Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 @2.66GHz
* Memory - 4GB DDR3 RAM
* Video Card - Nvidia GTX 260 896MB GDDR3
Any ideas would be very welcome, since I'm running out of new ones... Thanks in advance.
