GTX 660 Stutter/Freeze/Sound Loop

[oogawooga]

Hi i've been trying to help my brother with his msi gtx 660 twin frozr but i cannot seem to find out what the problem is. everytime i run csgo it freezes within like 10 secs and soundloops. when i downclock it with msi afterburner -100 core and -75 memory it lasts longer but eventually crashes. This seems to happen only with csgo, does anyone know what's up?

 

specs

psupply: xfx core edition 850w 

cpu: i7 4790k

motherboard: asus z97-ar

 

Additional info temps are only about 55-60 while csgo is running cpu is about low 50s

 

Sometimes i get this too randomly even just from browsing 

"Display Driver Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 350.12 stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

 

EDIT: Update

Well apparently the gtx 660 runs fine on my other rig[specs below], and when i swap my r9 290 onto my z97 board it doesnt crash on valley or csgo either

- Asus p8z77-lk 

- i5 3570k
- powercolor r9 290 pcs+
- evga suprnovaGS 850w

if you search the error on google a lot of ppl have it so its not related to gtx 660 but nvidia drivers. uninstall and clean install driver maybe it would help

ok download nvidia inspector open it go to show overclocking select performance level 3 and just under that is the base clock offset . downclock by 21mhz. so -21mhz and click apply. this should fix the nvidia driver stopped responding but i donno about cs problem maybe it would help it too

i downlclocked with msi afterburner -100 core and -75 memory isnt that the same as using nvidia inspector?

no that -21mhz is like a bug fix.maybe it will do give it a try
