New GPU not folding

Hey guys,

 

I just got a new GPU (980 Ti G1) but for some reason it won't fold. It will be "Ready" then fold for about 5 seconds, then fail. and after about 3 or 4 cycles of this, it will just remain in the failed state.

 

Any idea what to check or try to make it fold?

Heyyo,

Drivers setup correctly? I'd recommend using Display Driver Uninstaller to nuke any trace of older drivers. Use this especially if you switched brands and nuke drivers from both AMD and NVIDIA to be safe.

http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/

  • Download the program, extract it and restart in Safe Mode (F8 tap it during reboot after BIOS screen)
  • Run DDU, Select "Clean & Restart"
  • Once back in regular boot? it'll detect and install basic display drivers (DON'T select "Clean Install" under the custom settings, it sometimes has problems with SLI setups). Once that's done? Install the latest NVIDIA drivers for your GPU and then reboot
  • (Optional) Open up DDU (if it asks to reboot into safe mode? you don't need to, so say no) and then click on "Set Automatic Driver Installation to Default"

Folding can sometimes be very picky about any OCs, (factory set or user set) I'd suggest underclocking the card slightly to see if it's the factory OC that comes on the card that isn't "F@H stable"

 

Also a log wouldn't go a miss just to see if there's anything else that's acting up

I went from a 970 to a 980 Ti G1, but for some reason it seems to be working now... I'll monitor it for the next few days and make sure everything is kosher.
