GeForce 210 display driver crashing frequently - cuts my FPS in half.

[aceyou_]

Hi,

 

So after owning this rubbish card for a while I decided to OC it, and recently after around 1/2 hour of gaming for example, both my screens will go down for around 5 seconds, give me an OpenGL display driver issue (I believe Error 7) and sometimes crash my game. When coming back, instead of my FPS being around 40 or so, it will go to around 10 (which is unbearable if it isn't already). I tried re-installing drivers, installing old ones, re-fitting the GPU, putting an extra molex fan on (above the heatsink) and even trying nVidia tech support. Its specifically a Zotac GeForce 210 512mb. It doesn't really matter as soon I am getting a Gigabyte GeForce 750Ti 4GB but it would help if I could solve my issue for until I get this new card.

 

Thanks,

Jago
