Major problem regarding gaming stability

[jukki]

When i got my new computer parts, at first i had no real problem with it. But when i got my new gpu i started to experience problems. random crashes out of no were in game and things like that. I had the card returned, but when they tested it it came out clean without any problems. after that, they card actually started to work fine without problems.

 

Until now. Recently bout a month go i have experienced weird problems. Random crashes in most games do happen daily. Sometimes even freezing up the whole computer. But the biggest problem i have is that sometimes, out of nowhere, my computer starts getting major stuttering. it will lock completely for few seconds. resume back for few seconds and freeze again. And it keeps doing it endlessly. Sometimes it does occurs while not even ingame. I have noticed that while it does this my gpu fan boosts upp, but temps are fine in every component.During the crashes i have also noticed that it somtimes brings up error in taskbar saying nvidia drives has stoped working or something like that.

 

My system specs:

i5-3570k

msi 670 power edition

16 gb of kingston ram (4x4)

asus p8-z77 v lk board

seasonic ss-660xp2 psu

samsung 840 pro 128 boot drive

2x 1 tb seagate baracude drives in raid 0 (storage)

1x 2tb seagate baracuda drive as backup.

 

I need help to locate the problem and possibly solve it. All the components still have their waranty. But i cant stand the idea of not been able to play for a time being

I've had similar problems problems with my 680's where they will run stable in programs such as furmark but then in games stutter and crash the nvidia drivers or throttle really badly even when the temps are fine. Do you happen to be running an overclock on the card?

double check your drivers.

No, but it comes with overcome out of box

 

double check your drivers.

Done that allready. Clean installed everytime there is update.

Nvidia drivers have been crap for about 9 months, get the 314.22 god drivers, if stutter then something else is issue!

 

also check and repair all ur .net!

I will try this.

Mine had a problem like this (although not as bad as yours, by the sound of it).

Are you on Windows 7? When I upgraded to Windows 8 and re-installed the drivers I've never had an issues since.

Good luck

Came here to say the same... 314.22 is the only driver that is stable for me (running a GTX 670)

reinstall win and install an older driver version

I am on windows 8 64 bit.

 

I did clean driver install. Used driver sweeper in safe mode and installed the 314.22. Still didnt work. This time thought i got bsod too.The error was DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION.

I have also noticed that for example with skyirm. The crashes seep to happen when something is about to change, for example switching to menu, casting a spell etc.

 

Also for example with skyrim, when i reenter the game after a crash it will crash again when the game loads. Only way to fix is restart computer.

Ogod...I had a nightmare with drivers recently. After random freezes, I go to install the latest driver and get Runtime C++ errors with every nvidia package failing. After lots of tinkering, I ending up driver sweeping/uninstalling all that I could, removed Microsoft Visual 2010 C++ to replace with an /older/ version and then manually installed the latest driver. Was a major pain in certain places. System seems fine now. It's amazing how drivers can be so unstable at times.

I just did fresh install of windows 8, and the problems are still occuring. I also run memtest for overnight without any errors. Is there any options what to do?

[MG2R]

Do you have "spare components" to test with (say, a second computer)? If so, you could try swapping out components until the issue goes away. I'd start with the PSU and then moe on the GPU and RAM.

[jukki]

Well, i lack a gpu to test. I have had my psu switched so it was not that.
