Display Driver Crashed...

[HichigoShiro]

I was playing a normal browser-based game like 10 minutes ago and then suddenly my Display Driver crashed and I started getting really bad FPS in-game. I also got a notification from CAM saying that my GPU is at 99% Usage. 

 

So I left the game and opened EVGA PrecisionX to see what's going on and saw this:

 

It won't budge from the 405Mhz. I can't game like this. Pls halp. 

 

This happened once before and it fixed itself after like a day of me trying everything to fix it. I want to fix it now pls.

Usually when the display driver crashes you have to restart your computer to fix it. This can happen because of an unstable overclock, issues in power delivery with your card or a defective card.

 

PS: also make sure your drivers are updated.

Reset your overclock and reboot. Do not apply it again, try stock speed and lower ones first.

I never overclocked it, it always boost clocks to around 1500 Mhz anyway and that's pretty much enough for me.

What about power delivery, what kind of power supply are you using ? Can you try another power supply?

It must be the PSU cable. I rebooted like 5 times and it didnt fix but as soon as i changed the 8-pin cable to a different 8-pin one it worked.  :mellow:

Aah nice man, glad you were able to fix it

Thanks. I guess a £35 PSU really can't handle a £200 GPU.  :rolleyes:
