Updated the motherboard bios?

No I have never touched the BIOS on my motherboard

 

[CrimsonSlayer]

Just updated my BIOS to latest version, I still had the release version on my motherboard, will test Metro LL now

Still crashed, will try to download beta drivers

Ok I tried the BIOS update and the Beta drivers now still getting a crash, could it be a bad OC on the 780ti?

run msi afterburner,while running something gpu intensive look at what clock it boosting to and what mem your running to.also note what power target is the card hitting.and report back preferably with a screenie,also worth installing HWinfo64 to moniter gpu volts.
try also downclocking gpu to see if it due to standard boost clocks cuasing the driver crashing.

I ran the msi kombustor heres a screenshot:

Just tried to turn down core clock all the way down -105 and im still crashing

Uninstall drivers, then use a driver clean sweep tool, if not, try reinstalling JUST THE DRIVER and tick the box for to perform a clean installation and see how that works out

Already tried that multiple times

Run your whole system at stock to rule out a dogy oc, if it's fine then either gpu/cpu oc is at fault and the 780ti is ok.

Iam running everything at stock right now the however GPU is factory overclocked

1. I have tried all the Nvidia drivers available for the 780ti
2. I updated my motherboard BIOS
3. Tried down clocking the card all they way down
4. Set the fans to 100%
5. Set everything to default
6. Reinstalled windows 7 because I got a new SSD

But I am still getting the driver crash I don't even know what else to try.

I dont have another system to test it, and I dont have Samsung magician running

^^
What about Precision X roff(if op is running it???), it was dodgy iirc on certain drivers from memory.

Im not running Precision X its also fresh install

Did you downclock both core and memory? My 470, needs both I think. Not home to check!

Haven't tried memory, I can downclock that by 500, also I have been running Planetside 2 for 30 minutes now although it felt like it was going to crash but it didn't

 

[CrimsonSlayer]

Do you still have your old HD with OS intact?

You could test on the previous OS, to rule out any software/system drivers and your new SSD-if it's faulty you would get CTD's as it isn't always the gpu that causes the ctd's.

I can reinstall the OS on the other drive I will just try BF4 1 more time

Same problem has a guy here in germany, he solved it with downclock.
For some Games those clocks arent stable...
But you tried that already, so imho you will have to RMA it, but i wish you good luck, maybe you can solve this, so i can tell the guy here how to solve it maybe.

Do you know how much he downclocked it by?

Yesterday I tried BF4 and Metro on another HDD still got the same problem, right now I am playing with downlocks, -10 Core and -50 Memory seems to work still testing.
