Hello,

i have been having some issues with my graphic card Nvidia GeForce GTX560 Ti when i play high performance games (sometimes even low performance) where my screen goes black and in sleep mode after a random set of time. the computer is nonresponsive and only thing i can do is to manually restart the computer. internet and other things works just fine. only in games i get this error.

what are your temps while you are gaming...you can find them by downloading and running a program called gpuz while you game...also what are the specs of the rest of your computer? CPU/RAM/MOBO/POWERSUPPLY......was this always an issue with this card or did it just start happening....you can try and update your drivers and see if that helps too....but it sounds like a gpu that is not getting enough power or is overheating to me

my computer specs are:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz. 3.70 GHz
RAM 8.2 GB DDR3
windows 7 64 bit
Nvidia GeForce GX 560 Ti



i have had a problem with this type of card in the past and i took it to the repair shop and they said it was a fabricators error. Now the exact same thing is happening again.

drivers are up to date.

When im gaming its usually around 60 degrees celcius. but when i try and play high performance games i see using GPU(or CPU cant remember) tweak that my CPU was at 99% and temperature was going over 84 degrees celcius before i manually close the game to prevent overheating.

also showed that my card was clocked with 822 MHz

i have recently cleaned out the pc both software and hardware. deleting stuff i didnt need and vacumed the entire inside so its pretty much dust free.

im very noobish when it comes to BIOS changes also the fact that i have to turn off the pc everytime i have to check something. so if you can be as specific, as you possibly can, to what im looking for that would be awesome

do you want me to just type in the amount of power each stuff has? (in this thread obv notin the bios)
 
I don't see how that is going to tell you what the BIOS settings are, you need to boot into BIOS and take a look. If you can't or won't do that then you are going to have to start swapping parts around, do you have access to another PC that you can test parts in?
