Hey there.
Having a really annoying issue with my brand new EVGA GTX 670 2GB card (normal version, no SC or FTW etc.).
After putting my system together, I have noticed my display drivers crashing. I am getting a error message which says "display driver has crashed and recovered" in the bottom right of my screen. The display driver never crashes I'm actually playing games (talking Skyrim and BF3 here), but it ALWAYS crashes after I exit one of the games. Sometimes it also crashes on the desktop even though I haven't exited a game.
As you see, the display driver never crashes while the card is working hard, but only when it's "throttling down" or not doing much work.
Specs:
ASUS P8Z77-V, PCIE gen 3
EVGA GTX 670 2GB
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz
Corsair HX750W PSU
Things I have tried:
-tried both the 301.25 and 301.42 drivers - both crashes. I have installed them after completely removing the other driver. I'm doing everything in safe mode and using driver sweeper.
-making a custom fan profile in EVGA Precision.
-re-seating the card in the PCIE slot
-bunch of other small things, can't remember that much
When the display driver crashes the screen will go black for 1-2 second and then come back with a message saying "display driver has crashed and recovered". Sometimes the crashes happen many times in a row, which forces me to reboot my computer, or they just happen once, which lets me continue to use my computer after the crash.
The card performs just as good as I expected, even after the crashes, but these crashes are really pissing me off!
What do you think? Could it be something wrong with the card itself? Driver issue? Do I need to return the card?
Anyone got any tips? Post 'em!
Please ask for more details if you need to.
Thanks in advance.
