[6870] Graphics Failure with Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2012

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Hi,

I am having strange issue with my graphics card when playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2012. Almost randomly after a while I am playing, during a loading sequence the screen can just go black, and it is happening consistently. My display's back lighting also fades.

The computer becomes unresponsive and I have to turn it off via the button. The last system information event I got during my last crash was "The Application Experience service entered the stopped state." Which to my eyes means nothing.

The card can handle the game fine, I don't get any frame rate drops and the temperature stays around 65ºC. I have downloaded the latest drivers (and beta drivers) and reinstalled Origin. I tried running it in a 1280x720 window mode but it still occurs, nothing has worked.

The main thing I want to deduce here if it is driver or hardware failure.

Thanks!

Hey shmcphrsn,

I tried a few things to fix my graphics card and ended up getting an RMA on it over the Christmas break, so it took forever.

I recently got my replacement card, and have tested it out on Need for Speed. From the hours I have played the problem has been fixed.
Before getting an RMA I tried increasing fan speed, monitoring temperature, and completely uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. I also tried playing with another graphics card, which solved the problem.

Getting an RMA might be the best route, if you have exhausted all other possibilities.

Hope this helps.
