Errors when gaming?

[Adam123]

Hello,

I get these errors occasionally when gaming, can go a few days without them and then get a few in one session... I've had a Google but cant find much.

**edit: lots of threads but no real answer found**

Basically can be gaming, then without warning the game crashes, goes to desktop, displays an error msg and then I have to end process to continue using the pc...

Im using drivers 340.43 but had the problem with all drivers installed...

Could it be because my card is factory overclocked too high?

Cheers

Adam

A mate had similar messages and i suspect it was his cheap psu but cant be the case with yours.

What games?

Have you monitored temps with msi afterburner?
Try underclocking the card slighty and see if that stops it.

Also is the onboard gpu disabled in the bios?
Card being installed should disable it when left on auto but read that on some boards the error was caused by the pc swapping over to the onboard gpu (on cpu) when it shouldnt.

May not be hardware issue.

What games? I got that error when BF4 was just released.

I mainly play BF3, I say mainly - that is all I play at the moment.

Igpu is disabled in Bios and doesn't appear in the device manager.

I use OHM and OC Guru and temps when gaming are around 60C,

I'll try under clocking the card slightly, 15mhz be a good number?

Cheers

Find out what the standard clocks are for that model and apply. I'd say that's not going to be the problem though at a guess.

Just had 2 in the space of 15 minutes on BF3, temperatures no higher than 65C.

Tried under-clocking by 15mhz the other day, thought it had worked but now im thinking it hasn't.

Card auto-boosted up to 1200mhz and it was happy for a while with no issues at all then boom, error.

Any suggestions?

 

[oldestgregg]

Why 15mhz? Is that the clocks that the standard issue card comes with? If not try those clocks as 1200mhz boost could be too much

 

[oldestgregg]

If its a Ghz edition try 925mhz and see what happens. My opinion is it could be the psu as a friend of mine had similar issues with his 460. Also 1200mhz could be too much of a boost for it

It's not an issue with the card, it seems like it's an issue with the Frostbite engine. Myself and another member here got the same thing (see nvidia drivers thread) on PvZ garden warfare which is also running off that engine. Google results for that DX error yield countless BF4/3 results.

Play a large variety of games and none of them other than PvZ (don't really play BF much) have triggered this for me.

I had this exact issue. It's the GHZ card.

You will get other games acting strange as well (crashing after an hour etc). You have an unstable over-clocked graphics card.

I had a 780ti GHZ edition and sent it back after trying everything and trying to accept and live with the error. I'm now using a EVGA 780Ti SC ACX (over-clocked by default) and I've had no such problem ever since.

And believe me I tried everything. Downclocking/drivers/different PSU etc.

It's the card. Get it RMA'd

That error normally points towards an unstable gpu overclock.
