Gtx 770 2gb Blackscreening on Load

MrAidanPreston · 31 May 2014 at 17:33

So recently since watchdogs came out, my pc was blackscreening under 100% load and then restarting or black screening, fans going crazy and me having to turn it off at the wall.

I bought the forest and the same thing happened..

Decided to run kombustor and it happened on that, got a video for you?

Is this a GPU problem? had a issue similar when I got the card at xmas, turns out it was the PSU and I replaced it and it worked fine.

Also am I covered for warranty? cause I really do not want to fork out another £240..

Does it with games and on stress tests.

You say recently, since you installed Watch Dogs, did you also install 337.88 Drivers, or through some Auto Install?

Some ppl have been having problems with those drivers. if your running them it might be worth removing then using DDU http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/ and installing older drivers.

DDU how to:

Unistall the drivers as normal, before rebooting run DDU

Yes since I installed watchdogs... and yes since I installed 337.88. So try rolling back my drivers?

Completely removing them as explained to make sure they are completely gone

and then install older drivers.

Thanks, will do this now and do a kumbustor test and report results.

Also while we're here whats a decent GPU temp for a Gtx 770 under 100% load? Cause I dont think its overheating.

I thought black screens were an amd thing only, guess not.

The same as RMA's, overheating, noisy fans and poor drivers?

Only AMD you know [mwhahahah]

DEY TUK ARR BLACK SCREENZ!

MrAidanPreston · 31 May 2014 at 19:22

Did as instructed, ran kombustor, same thing again, I notice the power tpd goes to 100% or 102% is this relevant?

Also the card is only at 62 degrees when this happens? can't be a overheat?

Fire_fly · 31 May 2014 at 19:28

What PSU are you using?

MrAidanPreston · 31 May 2014 at 19:30

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-003-SF

This is what someone recommended me and its ran brilliantly until this has started to happen..

That's a reasonable PSU so shouldn't be playing up. However restarting when under load is sometimes a sign of a faulty PSU.

Have you got any overclocks you could return back to stock?

MrAidanPreston · 31 May 2014 at 19:56

I have not overclocked no.

MrAidanPreston · 31 May 2014 at 20:19

Is there any form of stress test, I can do for a PSU?

MrAidanPreston · 31 May 2014 at 23:24

Okay so I changed the auto adjust temperature fan speed to when the gpu goes over to 60 degrees the fans go to 100%, pc very noisy, but it is all working? Is there anyway to add more cooling to reduce the noise and do the thermals need replaced.

I also do not have my side door on pc, does this cause it?
