I just bought this card about 2 weeks ago and it has this weard problem.
Some times the card stops working middle of game or just when using internet browser. its like 2 secs black screen and fps in game 100->15.
i have installed newest driver version and the problem just grew with it so im using the older version atm. i tried google and there was suggestions to update bios but im not really an expert with computers. Should i just return / change it to radeon?
gpu usage gets 99 and then the card crashes for a little while. i added auto fan speed so the card wont go over 50 degrees

Specs:
intel i5 2320 cpu 3.00GHz
6GB ram
Msi gtx 660 Twin Frozr III
pci-e 2.0 motherboard or what is it called :o
silverstone 600w

its factory made pc and it had gt 545 card before had no problem with that card

Bump.

Have you tried an older driver. I've had no problems with the latest, but I hear the 306's were very popular.

Your cpu needs to be overclocked. :)
 
k

yeah im using the older v.306 and it works better than the new update but it still crashes on some points.
Yeah im not pro with overclocking but i have turbo boost in cpu so it can go up to 3.30GHz
 
I don't know how good that PSU is as I can't find any reviews,but TBH even a decent 400W should be fine,so probably not a PSU I suspect!!

Have you tried ramping up the fan speed?? The card could be overheating.

Also,if it is pre-overclocked try running the card at stock clockspeeds.
 
well im not good with this stuff and if you need to update bios you need to flash them?
my current bios version is 80.06.28.00.39
 
that looks like the GPU bios not the motherboard bios he asked you for the latter.

Is it this card ?

There is a BIOS to update your 660 to solve compatible issues with the motheboard.

This bios is used to solve motherboard compatible issue. If your card is Hybrid bios and face this issue, please update your BIOS.

Need to know what motherboard you have.

download CPU-Z and run it that should tell you.
(google it for the link)
 
well my motherboard is made by foxconn and model 2ABF
BIOS: Brand: AMI
Version 7.13
its market pc so.. i just upgraded from gt 545 and added more powerful power supply
 
and when im trying to start flashing the bios, i cant open the file it just says this application cannot be started because it not compatible with 64 bit windows-version

With respect that's a pretty low grade Motherboard, typically OEM.

I would not be at all surprised if even a GTX 660 is to much for it.

But i'm just putting 2 and 2 together, nothing technical about it, so i could be way wrong.
 
well i know that its not a pro or meant for gaming type motherboard because this pc witch i bought was 600 euros and that like average or below it on market pc's but they said in the store where i bought the new graphics card that if it has pci-e it will work just fine
