BRAND NEW PC and I'm having "GPU" Issues?

[Killer_Klownz]

3dMark Costa money doesn't it? So I didn't do 3d mark. But I've let the card run for over 30minutea on both Furmark and Kumbostor. With no crashing..

If this were to happen to me, this is what I would do.

 

1. Uninstall gpu drivers.

2. Restart pc (idk why I do this, I just do)

3. Re-install the latest drivers.

4. DO NO OVERCLOCKING OF ANY KIND

5. Try playing a game.

 

If it crashes again I would just rma the gpu.

 

I can't really think of anything else because you said your pc works fine when the gpu isn't in the system.

Haha, oddly enough.. Those are the same steps I follow in my own. And I haven't overxloxked anything yet. And it all still fails.

Well guess I need to get some RMA action going on..

So. For anyone who might have been following this. I got my Card Working. through some weirdness.

 

So First. Like i had done already: Went into the control panel and UNINSTALLED ALL NVIDIA Drivers and The intel HD Audio/Graphics Drivers.

 

(screen was really buggy at this point without drivers.)

 

Reinstalled video card after a few days without it.

 

Tried a normal install of "NVIDIA GRAPHICS DRIVER 327.23"

 

No luck..

 

Then uninstalled All nvidia drivers again..

 

Restarted...

 

went into bios.. and changed the PCIe speeds all to Gen3

 

then reinstalled Nvidia driver 327.23 but, did a custom install... And unselected all of the extra software that came with the download, leaving only the 'Graphics Driver"

 

it installed.. and prompted me to reboot.. so i did.

 

Test #1: Rust. Worked fine (gained hope)

 

Test #2: (minecraft [with and without shaders]) Passed (getting excited)

 

Test #3: Black Ops 2 (the most confusing to date..) Worked with flying colors! All games work on Full HD and im seeing no problems after 2+ hours of rust. and 2+ hours of minecraft.

 

Whatever i may have done.. Those are the steps i Took.. and although i Cant say what did it exactly.. Im sure it was something there. Sadly, im not adventurous enough to try to change setting to see what the exact culprit was.

 

I'd just like to thank all of you who had helped me up to this point though, my ideas were only sparked by the help you gave!
