Asus P8Z68-V/Gen 3 Nvidia drivers keep crashing

f1rstcast · 13 Feb 2012 at 00:01

So i just managed to get this board working after having a couple of troubles getting it to boot, and now im having an issue where im playing a game(currently SWTOR) and my drivers will crash and will be recovered.

Ive updated all the nvidia drivers but it hasnt solved the problem, if there anything else that could cause it? im not having much luck with this board at the moment

Card im running is a gtx560ti

I had similar random stuff happening with a system, turned out to be a RAM issue. RMA'd it, and it never happened again.

I'd try running Memtest, at least if anything to rule out the RAM. Could also be a dodgy card if it only happens during games, are all the components new?

Only the mobo is new, the other components ran fine on my old motherboard. I think i have actually found the problem, on my old motherboard i used afterburner to bump my gfx speeds up and forgot to reset it for this new one. So now its running back at core speeds, seems to be okay..i guess it might have been a little unstable with those speeds?

Ah good, probably just unstable then, time for new settings!

To tell you the truth I had the exact same problem with the same board, i updated to the latest nvidia* beta drivers and it fixed it for me lol I'm also using the same card and it happend in the same game haha

Oh another thing, I spoke to EVGA (thats my model gfx card) and they gave me a bios update for the card. not sure if this helps.

thanks for the reply, i will check it out and see if i can do the same thing, it might help..at the moment its running fine, but i would like to clock the speeds up abit again without it crashing all the time

I'm using same board and MSI 560TI 2GB with no issues including SWTOR,all I can suggest is have you installed the Intel chipset drivers,Nvidia drivers I'm using are the official ones ie 285.62.

I would also run Memtest86+ to check your ram,double check in your BIOS the settings for ram/voltage etc...also was this a clean install of OS?(recommended) .
