Hi guys, just rebuilt my pc with an i5 and new motherboard, and I keep getting this error pop up. It's completely random, usually at the most annoying times and I have never got it before :(. The gtx 580 is running at stock under water.

Any ideas? :(
 
Hmm.. Reinstalled the driver and everything seems cushty now... Odd...

Edit:nope just flashed up three times in a row. This is a 400 quid graphics card, I should not be having to put up with this ****

you should have got 6950 crossfire lol, on a serious note i did have this with 5770 xfire but i thought it was down to the 2d clocks being set to low but a quick google found plenty of people with both ati and nvidia with the same problem, i also read it was down to a windows update but never found any proof of this, but the problem did seem to sort itself out in the end
 
Cool, thanks :)

I did actually have 6950 xfire, but sold it due to not being able to afford to sacrifice a goat to the gods of black magic everytime I wanted to play a game in eyefinity :D

I'll download every win7 update I can find, see what fixes it :)
 
Oh yeah now I remember :D

Just noticed about 150 updates to install, guess reinstalling windows wasn't the best idea ever on 150kb/s download speeds :(
 
I hope not! I have to update my water-cooling sticky with about 60 pics that I took. I spent about 5 hours rebuilding the whole bloody thing lol :D
 
It normally means an unstable overclock but as u are running stock this is unlikely, what model is it and what is the stock clocks and volts ?
Edit: i see in ur build log it's an Msi Twin Frozr II which is factory overclocked to 800MHz, as i asked above check the stock volts using Afterburner it has been known for some factory overclocked cards to get shipped with a too lower voltage to be stable.

Yeah I'll try overvolting, see if that helps. It's really weird as I had it stable at 1ghz in my old rig :confused:

As you can guess from my post it's still happening. Regularly. I've installed just about every windows update thingy, and nothing has worked. Upset ain't quite the word, I haven't had a pc for three weeks, and when I fix it it starts being a complete bitch :(
 
Weeks...

My old rig (before the motherboard blew up) was an i7 860 and an MSi p55-GD65.

This new system is A LOT faster, a lot cooler, and works like a charm... apart from this issue. I'm going to install SP1 to see if that helps...
 
Not sure where abouts u live but where i am it's pretty warm, thermometer in this room says 26.7c, i know urs is watercooled so it shouldn't be an issue just an idea.
 
I used to get this a lot on my old NV cards.. normally just after a driver update when I forgot to run DriverSweeper in between. So just a simple unsintall, clean and reinstall sorted it.. Sometimes it was more random.. I guess it's just a generic message though. Have you checked the Event log?

Where's the event log again? I can't for the life of me remember :rolleyes:

I'm now struggling to get into windows, it's that bad :(

Randomly started getting worse... Rma time? :(
 
I would think the new system would use less power than X58 setup so i can't see it being a power issue unless the psu is dying.
Always a apin with watercooling as u can't just take it out and try in another system.
