gpu help

[Asis151]

So I recently got a gtx 770 from msi with a reference design cooler. I plugged it in and works fine until I start something gpu intensive and then the screen begins to constantly go black and back to the normal display as if it was updating the resolution and after a while it just stay black but the computer is still working as I still hear the music from the game. Tried a second gpu I have to make sure it wasn't something else but it works fine with the old gpu. Any suggestions?

if driver updates don't fix anything,you probably have PCB issues. it might be defective.

what about a sound driver conflict?

Could be Power supply(Not enough power, bad connections)

Heat could be problem too

Or like durpflip sayd,PCB could be defective.

I would also try reseating the card as it may not be making good enough contact in the PCIE slot.

i tried clearing all the display drivers and only installing the newest nvidia drivers and still made the same problems and also tried reseating the card. im not sure if my psu might be the issue,m its a EVGA 600w, ive got a amd 6300 cpu overclocked to 4Ghz. theres not much else that uses much power. im leaning towards the gpu being defected. thanks for the help so far.

answer my first post.

Take off your overclock and try again.

i doubt its a sound driver issue but ill double check and i tried setting everything back to normal clocks and still the same issues. I'm also just going to double check with a friends rig to see if its going to do the same thing. I hoping to resolve this issue soon as I'm currently stuck on my 370 and was looking for the boost in fps from games. if all else fails I'll just sell it on ebay as is and wait for the next gen gpus to come out.

how many sound drivers are installed?

next thing you can do is pull the card apart and clean up and reapply thermal grease and clean the fins and fan. ( be careful with the wire for the fans connected to the pcb and watch the thermal; pads.

maybe the card is nearly dead from years of use and/or neglect/over clocking, etc.?
