All games freezing

[Finders]

Hello guys, 

I've been having this issue lately, where all my games are crashing after anywhere between 2 to 20 min of gaming. When the crash occurs, it's like it's stuck in a loop, with the latest sound produced just repeating over and over and freezed graphics. It's just the games, windows never crashed or had a BSOD.

Crysis 2 & 3 are displaying this weird "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED" error. Regarding this: on google someone suggested it could be a ram problem, so I ran Memtest64 for about 1h 30 min, or 130 cycles, and there was no error or crashes.

The CPU & GPU both stay below 75 C. The GPU is running stock settings. I checked cables, reinstalled drivers, voltages, usage, ecc: nothing.

My Cpu is a delidded 8700k. It runs at 5.0 Ghz @ 1.328v stable.I tried reducing the frequency and the voltage and it did not help.

My specs:

Maximus X Hero 

Corsair vengeance LPX ddr4-2666 16 gb. Running in dual channel, default XMP profile. 

EVGA Supernova G2 750 W.

GTX 1080 ti SC2.

Any idea on how to solve this or what it may be? Any help will be appreciated.

reinstall the graphics card, make sure you tighten the screws holding the I/O plate to the bracket of the case and that the card is fully in the PCIe slot?

Can you still access the task manager when this happens?

Does the PC shut down on itself or does it keep hanging in that "loop" till you hard reset via holding the power button?

I will try right now, but yes it seems fully in and tighten up.

The games stay in that loop for a little while or until force closed in task manager. In gta V strangely the radio keeps working normally..

Are you sure your CPU is stable?

You said that you tried reducing the frequency AND the voltage... but you should just lower the frequency.

 

Also, you would have to be pretty lucky to be stable at 1.328V and 5GHz.

Most 8700k require 1.35V-1.4V for really stable 5GHz.

 

I really recommend running OCCT stress test with Large Data Set option for at least an hour.

That usually makes PC crash really fast if your OC is unstable.

The GTA thing may just be the way GTA "speaks" with the hardware which seams to be a separate audio process.

 

Well. Ok. System responds, that's not so bad then :-)

Checked the System and Application Eventlog for further details when such a thing happened? Try to check for it.

I would start by removing all overclocks and removing the display driver via DDU http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html and reinstall them clean and fresh.

I was running 4.4 at 1.3v to exclude that problem. But to be sure I did re-set everything to default in the bios. No change

You're right! "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

So I downloaded DDU, removed everything and re-installed the latest drivers. 

I tested on all default on the bios, no overclock on anything. 

Unfortunately nothing changed. It still freezes with the same error in event viewer : Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
