Driver display stopped working.....

[Optimusgrime]

hi guys for the past few weeks of owning my new card iv had nothing but problems since i installed it iv been having random fps drops for no reasons and when i play warframe the game just freezes then a message appears saying display driver has stopped working ?.

 

is this a issue due to not having a big enough psu for my gpu ?? but my last card was a palit gtx 580 which ran better than my new card and its a asus platinum matrix 7970 and the psu is a corsair 760i .

 

thanks for all the help forum and hopefully im not being stupid and its a easy fix

Is it overclocked?

 

Maybe it's overheating

PSU is more than enough, uninstall graphics drivers and install the newest one

Instability as it seems, is it overclocked like Liam asked?, if it is, drop the core clock.

your hdd/ssd could be dead or you win install could be corrupted so you might wanna check that

I second that. The drivers may not be able to install properly. I would try installing the OS again and if you still have problems, try another drive.

yes but he said " recently from no sound to files just randomly being empty" so it could also be his hdd/ssd that is failing

IIIRC the drivers stopped working is a function of the driver to stop whatever is happening from destroying the card. It's usually OC

Yeah I know, I suggested trying a reinstall first instead of blowing money on a new drive first

Have you tried using diffirent slot? This fixed the same issue I had. If that helps RMA the board. Also try using diffirent connector, cable and monitor.

yes you can fix it yourself and IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT its just a bad part it can happen to anyone and you spend a lot of money on a awsome pc that will kick ass once it works properly and it doesnt right now so you need to fix it.
