gtx970 GPU Problems

[thearthurusrex]

Yesterday after playing like 4-5h of Total War Shogun 2 I saw on Asus Tweak II that: http://imgur.com/a/ztMdJ.

(On reddit) I posted a post yesterday but everyone was asleep so didn't get a lot of answer. But someone told me to Download GPU Z to double check and maybe it was just a program problem.

After DLing GPU Z (http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/16/06/03/c36.png)

Still the same.

I am kinda worry, a lot. But I recently updated my GPU drivers from GeForce Experience. Might have to do with that ?

 

Spec:

CPU: i7 5820k 3.3G

GPU GTX 970 Strix ASUS

MB: Asus X99-A

RAM: Kingston DDR4 2300 2X8GB

 

Edit: It's during Idle not on gaming or load.

Edit: My temp keep going up, normally during summer it goes up to 47C on Idle but now doing nothing it stay at 50-56C 

Edit: Now going  up to 60C, WTF. I am doing nothing.

Were your GeForce drivers a clean install?

Well don't know what a Clean install is but took like 2-3 mins and everything was fine, no blue screen or black screen or anything. Downloaded and installed, ready to go.

Okay, go to Control Panel and uninstall all your GeForce drivers. That means the display driver, the physx driver, everything. Restart your PC. 

 

Then go to Nvidia.com and download their latest installer for your OS and GPU.

 

Run that installer, and do not select Express settings, use custom settings and select the option that deletes everything previous and installs everything clean. Restart your PC again and run whatever test you were running that showed the problems.

A clean install is a completely new install of something, Dogeystyle is asking weather you upgraded the driver or installed it before there were drivers for that graphics card installed. If that makes sense.

I am kinda new to PC and I don't want to fuck it up. Is it hard or anything ?

Nah, it won't break anything. Everyone who's ever owned a PC has had to do a clean driver install at least once in their life.

The  physx driver is in the GPU driver right ? (saw it goes by the installation of the new driver.)

That approach won't work actually. In order to properly remove GPU drivers you must use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and then install 361.75 - all the newer drivers are piss poor and broken

No they are not.

The PhysX driver is separate from the display driver, since you can have a display driver without a PhysX driver. But the PhysX driver cannot work without a display graphics driver.

How I get the Phys X driver then ? That's what I heard about new Drivers they aren't that good some time.

You can't. The recent driver issues are not related to PhysX - the whole drivers are from bad to worse. Download DDU, run in safe mode, uninstall EVERYTHING then download 361.75 full package and you're golden

The Nvidia installer will ask you if you want to install their display driver, physx driver, along with the audio driver and the 3D driver(useless) when you select the Custom Installation option when you run the installer.

Manually uninstall them from drivers panel isnt better ? I don't know DDU.

Uninstalling from Control Panel won't fix anything - the driver installer leaves a LOT of files behind when it finishes the install and those files interfere with future installations. DDU is the ONLY way I recommend removing them which is guarantee to work properly

Your AV is braindead. Have been using this for years personally and on every PC I've built - never had an issue.

If you are using AVG/McAfee/Avast I strongly suggest you do a reinstall of windows/remove them. AVG is a Virus in it of itself and should be treated as such

Never heard of it. You might want to move over to something like MalwareBytes or Symantec.
