EVGA GTX 760 SC GFX Card Freeze and Crash issues

[Yassassin]

Hey LTT folks,

                        For the past last year, my EVGA GTX 760 Sc card have the following issues, crashing on high settings when DotA 2, in order not to crash I'm forced to play at low settings, even games like cs: go and Rocket league have this issue, on paper my GFX card should easily blow these games out of the water, but for certain some reason, it's keep on crashing, unfortunately there's no evga service center at Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. so I tried some of the solutions like changing power to PCI as performance, cleaning whole pc once in two months, changing PCI slot, tried different gfx card in the same slot (which works flawlessly), tried OC'ing and providing more power to gfx card using MSI afterburner and also tried with Precision X. please need help with this, eventhough rest of the components are relatively new and because of the gfx card, i'm forced to play at lower settings, it's irritating.

PC Specs:

CPU: Intel i7 6700

Mobo: Asus H170 Pro gaming ATX
GPU: EVGA 760 SC w/ ACX Cooler 2.0 (Bought on late 2013)

PSU: Seasonic 850w bronze graded 80+

Ram: Corsair vengeance 2400mhz

case: Phanteks P400
Cooling solution: Stock fan on CPU and 3* CM 120mm SickleFlow X and 3* TT 120MM Riing fans for exhaust

Please need a solution asap, share your wisdom folks, ty in advanced.

Thanks and Regards,

Yash

If you haven't tried reinstalling drivers, do that. Also, it would be wise to test the card in another PC.

 

You might be facing the early signs of card death if you can narrow the issues completely down to that card.

Each time whenever I'm installing a new driver, I do a clean install, I've to try with some of my friend's pc as you suggested, still my GeForce 9500GT is working perfectly, what  might cause the death of this card, so early

did you check the temps when playing game? might just be the thermal paste drying up

I'll run stress test, when I'll get to home and will let you know, it's goes all the way up to 80ish when running heaven benchmark.

I ran benchmark around 45 mins, GPU temp was right around 80-85, the whole time, I guess it's okish temp, bump, any solution folks?
