GTX 770 overheating?

[SoftwarePro]

Hi all!

 

So i just built a computer for a friend, and being the thorough person that i am, im running some stress tests. What i have running is 3 instances of prime 95, along with firmark at 1680x1050 with 4x AA. Ive got monitors for both CPU and GPU temps and levels. BTW the gpu is a asus directcu II 770 2GB. Basically after i start firmark, the GPU temp rises steadily from around 33c to 75c. The cpu goes from around 25c to 60c and holds there. After a little while, screen goes black and i cant get it to come back without resetting the power. I even didnt run the prime95 to see if that would fix the problem, and nada still crashes. Im at a loss as to what is happening. I thought 75c was fine? What could be causing the problem, its a brand new windows 7 install all the latest drivers everything. It makes no sense. Ive got all the GPU plugs seated correctly and their little LEDs come on. Ive got a brand new 750w EVGA PSU. Its baffling me as to what is causing the issue. 

 

I really need to get this issue resolved because its a christmas gift (no not from me from his parents). 

 

 

EDIT:

Specs:

intel i7-4770k not OC
Kingston hyperx 3k
Asus z87-a latest bios
Asus Direct CU II 770 2GB
16gb ADATA ram
3tb WD red drive
750W EVGA PSU.
Cooler Master t4 cooler.

EDIT:

Just re-did the test and i got to 76c for a min or two before it my screen went black again.

hmmm, maybe drivers, faulty equipment? on those lines probably

Its not over heating that for sure. Bet your cpu is unstable.

But its a brand new CPU, and even when im not running prime95 i have issues. The cpu aint even overclocked.

Also dont stress two things at once. Always do one if you have no clue what is breaking it.

Tested just the CPU for about 1h and its all good. GPU still crashes though.

Tried the card in my personal rig and had no problems. I used the driver asus provided...no luck in the new rig but fine in my rig. Im thinking either OS or MOBO issue. Ill try reloading the OS i think next.

 

Updated the GPU bios and i was able to get it to run around 80c for about 5-7min before it went out on me.

Don't use furmark, unless you want to brick your card.

Why?

[TechSage]

Why?

It stresses it TOO much, more than you need it to.

Prime95 and intel ix 4xxx "do not mix very well" (ask intel why)  <_<

 

so... in the good news, it may not be the 770 

 

 

 

for test only the 770 use Valley - the HD test  B)

 

ignore the cpu problem for now, when you get a new cpu bench you can start to retest that intel

 I used the driver asus provided...

U should Always use the driver from the website of Nvidia for drivers not the driver disk for a start

And when i did that...it crashed. When i used the Driver on asus website it worked fine. I ran heaven benchmark and it seems to be all good. What should i use to stress the CPU?

SoftwarePro, did you ever end up resolving this problem? I'm suffering from the exact same problem with the exact same graphics card and cpu.

[QuadlyMan]

I've solved the problem by upgrading my case from the nox nx200 to the nzxt h440. The nx200 didn't disperse heat properly, resulting in temperatures similar to the graphics card around the case. Adding a fan to the nx200 didn't help.

I've hit 83c on my GTX 770 before and Nothing happens. Something is wrong somewhere. I even have  an older mobo and CPU.
