Graphics problem

[ThatDuckSauce]

hi guys,

Recently upgraded some hardware and upgraded to windows 10. I've found in recent days that at random points in a variety of my games I get a random freeze on my graphics and then it starts the graphics back up. It's becoming a nuisance as it causes commotion with my streamlabsobs and twitch stuff.

Am I right in thinking there's a possibility it could be a conflict on graphics between on board and my graphics card?

I'll give it a go thanks

B450 Aorus Pro motherboard
2x 8gb DDR4 3000mhz ram
AMD Ryzen 2600 CPU
GTX 660 TI graphics card

cant find option to disable onboard graphics in bios and in device manager either

running 417.22 driver which is most up to date

There is no error. It just freezes and then resumes the graphics again

Find it weird how I loaded up one of my games and as it was loading it went a weird shade of pink on the screen and then started loading the game, then repeated it again

I've just ran a stress test on the graphics card. Highest it hit was 95 celcius under heavy load. Graphics card is a GTX 660 TI

downgraded to 399.24 and still same problem. GPU-Z doesn't indicate overheating or load are the problems either

Nvidia support got back to me eventually, they have given me some specific settings to change and try out so will give it a go

Custom install also let's you do a clean install I'll try the 388 drivers tonight

downgraded to 388.71
Also set power management mode to prefer max performance and then set the same on my games as well as disabling veritcal sync.
Temp has been steady around 86-89 in swtor and so far after about 90 minutes touch wood no issues. Will continue to monitor and feedback

Seems as though downgrading the driver to 380's and tweaking the settings worked wonders. Not a single blip in 36 hours!

Already cleaned the fans out with compressed air. There's an intake on the front, exhaust fan on roof and top back and the cpu fan exhausts out of a side panel which has slits on it to exhaust through.
