Hello
Today I was playing a game when all of a sudden my display started to blink. Shortly after that the game froze and then crashed. I didn´t thought it was anything so I just launched the game again, made it trough the login-screen, but as soon as 3D-models was starting to load, the game crashed again. So I launched again and same thing happened again, this time however the whole computer froze and I had to "force reboot" (I dont what it is called when you press down the powerbutton for 2 seconds).
So windows boots up, I login and then the computer gets bluescreen and turns off immediately. So I disengage my computer, takes out the GPU and replaces it with an old GPU my parents have. I Start my computer and since the graphic drivers dont match, windows boots in lower screen resolution. And now I can login so I uninstall everything that says Nvidia, turns of the computer and put my GPU back in it. I boot, make it trough login and then install the newest driver. Reboot and the computer crash.
I boot again and now it works. So to figure out if the problems are solved I launch a game and it crashes and before the whole display starts to freak out I can see a warning message saying something like; "Nvidia drivers have stopped working and have been reseted". Not 100% sure what it said, because it was only readable for like 1 second. And then the screen starts to blink and then turn black and then the computer restarts.
After a couple of more boot-up crashes I finally made it throug the whole login process and swiftly changed the screen resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 and since then no crashes, as long as I dont put any load on the GPU.
So is my poor GTX 570 slowly dying or is it anything I can do?
* sorry for much text, but I just want to tell you what have happened and what I have done.
