Hi!My PC crashes and restarts every time i'm trying to launch Arma 2 or Stalker Call of Pripyat.It works fine with another games :confused:

It started when i upgraded my gpu (gtx 680).I never had any problems with my previous card (gtx 470).

Did you uninstall and remove the drivers (via the registry) of the 470 prior to fitting the 680?

Yes, i did and today i reinstalled all drivers again

What's your full system spec?

What drivers are you running? Was it a full "clean" installation?

dekter · 17 May 2012 at 13:11

i5 750
Asus P7P55D PRO
4gb Crucial Ballistix ram
650w Antec Truepower psu

301.10 driver version
What do you mean full "clean" installation (sorry, noob question

)

Probably referring to Driver Sweeper or somesuch.

Is anything in your system overclocked at all? If so return everything to stock settings? How do temperatures look of your CPU and GPU.

By clean installation I mean there is an option when installing nvidia drivers to do a custom installation then check the box at the bottom for a clean installation. Basically it removes all your previous drivers (including 3D/HD audio/PhysX etc) then installs new versions.

I would uninstall all your nvidia drivers first, run CCleaner/driver sweep etc and then do a clean installation of the latest ones. You could try the 301.24 beta drivers to see if their any better?

I see

I uninstalled drivers with Iobit uninstaller if that makes sense

My cpu was overclocked to 3.8 but i returned to stock settings.CPU temps are 25C and GPU 10c

I initially had some issues going from a 460 to my 680, I uninstalled then reinstalled the 680 drivers and it's been 100% stable ever since.

And I didn't have to mess around with driver sweeper or registry settings either.

Could be worth a shot.

I did what you suggested, but it didn't solve the problem

OK so doesn't sound like a driver issue.

Try downloading Memtest86+ to a bootable flash drive and testing the RAM for any issues. Also I presume the sytem is still crashing at stock settings? If overclocked have you tested stability?
