Asus GTX 1060 OC 6gb crashing in PUBG...

[Freelanc3r]

Hi all

Installed my Asus GTX 1060 OC 6gb today, installed the latest Nvidia Drivers, version 390.77. However it keeps crashing in Player Unknown's Battlegrounds, I can load the game, log into a match and play for 10/15/20 minutes however it will just crash and exit the game for me, it then asks to send the log to the game manafacturer and I have to relaunch. Annoyingly it also crashes whenever I encounter another player in game, not sure if this is related.

This was working fine this morning before installing the new GPU so I suspect this is the root cause.

Graphics card:
My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Dual OC 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £359.99

Total: £369.89 (includes shipping: £9.90)​

​

Any ideas on what I can do to fix? Has anybody experienced similiar? I'm toying with the ideas of removing the OC on the card with ASUS GPU Tweak II however I would quite like to keep it on if possible.

Please help!

Thanks

Update if anybody is interested (or cares) or has a similar issue in future:

Uninstalled display drivers using DDU, reinstalled the same version (390.77). Underclocked the GPU slightly (-100Mhz) and touch wood, all seems well so far. Have played 3 games and no crashing. May try restoring the GPU back to it's overclocked state and see if it's stable in game.

You shouldnt have to under clock a new card to get it stable, is your psu good enough? Also 360 quid for a 1060 wtf I paid 180 for mine more than a year ago, pure insanity.

likely got a defective card if under-clocking fixes it.

send it back
