just slotted in a brand-new gtx 670 after clearing away the old drivers.
on first boot, seemed fine. then the mouse started to 'lock up' making a dragbox, 'lagging' every few seconds. then the comp freezes and display drivers fail.
restarted, this time it froze at the windows 'loading' animated logo thing.
booted into safe mode, everything is perfectly fine.
figured it was the latest nvidia drivers, tried reverting to a previous version off gigabyte's website..
..normal boot, computer frozen again after i made a drag box with the mouse. screen went blank, notification that the nividia drivers stopped responding and 'recovered'.
restarted, made some drag boxes, was fine. started furmark, went for a few seconds, froze, went blank and then 'recovered' again.
i fear my card may be 'dead'- should i try and RMA this asap?
specs in case it helps:
ASRock Z77 extreme4 (bios/mobo updated to latest)
i5-3550k (temps are fine)
8gb ram
gigabyte gtx 670
corsair gs800
windows 7 64-bit
