Massive crashing issue with GTX770

[fargodog]

So I recently bought an EVGA SC ACX 770 to replace a dead card on my work PC. After installing the newest drivers (320.18) I get about seven minutes into any game before the screen goes black and the PC completely restarts. There's a few other people also have this issue on the geforcr forums and I was wondering if anyone here has the same thing or a solution?

I'm currently running a corsair TX650v2 as my power supply.

Thanks.

Does it affect only the GTX 770s?

Could be your PSU? Apparently these cards love sucking the amps on the 12v rail.

I'm having the same issue. I have tried both the 320.18 and the one the comes on a disk, both of them crash even though I am on the desktop/browsing the web (It crashed twice during this post...). First card from nVidia in a while and I have to say, it's not exactly the welcome back I was expecting...

It's also the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclock ACX on a Seasonic X-Series 650w PSU.

Hi,

if you are able to test the card in a friends or families system I would suggest to give this is a try, this is mostly the most simple way to get to know if there is any issue with the card or not. Feel free to contact the EVGA support at [email protected] or by phone at 0049 89 189 049 11 if you still face this issue.

Dominik, can you keep an eye on the problems in the above-linked thread in case EVGA might be able to provide information to nvidia about the 320.18 driver problems?

Hi Mort,

thanks for the hint, we already have an eye on this.

Cheers
