MSI 770 lightning OC problem

[Peppercookie]

So I have started to get more confident at OC'ing as I hit 4,8 ghz with my intel 4670k through days of struggle. I i thought I should have a go at my GPU.  That was the reason i bought Lightning, to ramp that shit up.

To be honest, I have never even looked at a GPU clock before. 

Well, with afterburner's easy sliders it seemed like a problem free approach.

 But every singe time i move either one of the mem or clock slides and pressed apply, the screen would go dark for a second and recover. Then a message displays saying that "display driver stopped responding and has recovered" 

Yes, the newest driver is installed and re installed....twice. 

 

Specs: 

Intel i5 4670k @ 3,8 ghz

Asus Z87-pro

Kingston hyperX beast 2x8 GB CL11 @ 2400mhz

MSI Geforce 770 GTX lightning 2gb

PSU: Fortron Aurum CM series 750W gold

 

What do you think is a solution?

This would happen even without stress testing? Just at idle? Like it crashes at desktop?

i was told evga percision was the best tool for GPU boost 2.0. maybe give that a try to see if u get better stable settings

[MeltyMoon]

Could also be a driver issue

How much did you move the slider? Sometimes that crashed display driver indicates an unstably clocked gpu. Best bet is to do a clean uninstall and reinstall the driver again and see how it goes.

[Peppercookie]

The sliders only had to be at +10 do get the fault to accrue.

This varies. Sometime at once other times it happens when I stability test the GPU. After the message, all systems run fine and act like a OC'ed GPU should. Higher performance.

But after some time, the screen goes black again.

I have a GTX 680 Lightning and I had the same problem when I overclocked the card. The fix for me was just to turn up core voltage. My card is running at 1349 mhz and it wont get any higher because you need more than 100 mv to get there for me. Your card will overclock different. Just try to bump up the core clock without any other changes until it starts to crash, then start bumping up only core voltage and see if you can get higher. You can also try to flash the newest BIOS from msi to the card (http://us.msi.com/product/vga/N770-Lightning.html#?div=Utility). Do you have the card in normal BIOS mode or the LN2 mode ? I hope this will help you

newest drivers arent always the best make sure your using the latest STABLE drivers not beta drivers, download the ones directly from msi for the most stable one

my 670 power edition does this when the power limit isn't set high enough or there isn't enough voltage for the card.

[CadillacVic]

Yes you need to turn the Core Voltage up to +12 the Power limit to +109 Memory Voltage to +100 then you can start adjusting. I got mine to a stable +50 on the Core and +500 on Memory.

 

 

NOTE:

You will need Afterburner BETA (only one I use so I don't know if you can unlock voltages using another GPU OC program so don't flame me) here is the link.
