EVGA TitanX SC Locking Up

[foist]

So I got my Titan in and it ran beautifully for the first day. After ustom fan curve and I had it running at 60-70 degrees in games. However today after a couple hours in Rust I started experiencing a couple total system lockups and some momentary freezes. I had never experienced this before installing the card, but monitoring in Precision doesn't show anything abnormal; temperature was the constant as well.

 

I am running the 352.86 WHQL drivers on 64bit Win7, and the rest of my specs are down below. I'm in the process of cleaning and reinstalling the drivers but was wondering if anyone else had experienced this on their single card setups or had any potential insight, as the only reports I could find were with SLI setups.

 

Rust isn't the best optimized game but it hasn't happened to me before which was a little curious.

 

Cheers.

Is it just Rust?

stress test your GPU so you can see if its just the game or the card itself

I haven't tried any other games yet, but will be trying GTA5 in the morning. Didn't experience any of the issues all day yesterday in Rust on the Titan or the 780 it replaced.

Running various tests in EVGA's OC Scanner doesn't seem to show any issues. Same usage, same heat. Re-cleaned and downloaded the drivers so I'll give a couple other games a shot in the morning and report back.

 

Rust being the unoptimized in development thing it is, the game could very well be the issue. Good news is despite the unoptimization the Titan crushes it performance wise over in comparison to my 780. Again, hadn't seen anything on people with similar issues in single card so I figured it was worth putting out there.

Ran various tests in the OC Scanner that ran flawlessly, and playing a few hours of GTA5 yielded no crashes. Just Rust, and with increasing frequency over time.

 

Could overheating VRAM cause these kinds of lockups? I know the modules on the TitanX get very hot but I am wondering if VRAM could cause hard lockups. I have an aggressive fan curve so under load the GPU never goes above 68 degrees but I have no real way of measuring the modules.
