    EVGA GTX 460 SSC driver crashing and kernel 41 (63) reboots


    Hi,

    I really hope there is someone that can figure out how I can fix this:

    I built this PC a few months ago and it was fine in the beginning. Yet recently I have been having these kernel 41 (63) reboots during games and nvidia drivers crashing outside games. Though I wouldn't be surprised if these are related. I have been reading so many suggestions on forums without fixing this problem that it is really getting me down so I thought it was time to make my own thread.

    NOTE#1: I haven't overclocked anything, I wouldn't even know what I was doing if I wanted to.
    NOTE#2: I set it so windows doesnt autoreboot and creates minidumps. I can't send you a minidump however because the pc crashes and reboots regardless before it makes a minidump.

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64
    CPU: Intel core i5 2500K with stock cooler.
    MOBO: ASUS P8Z68-V --> bios 0706
    RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
    GPU: EVGA GTX 460 SSC --> nvidia drivers 285.38 for Battlefield 3
    PSU: OCZ Modxstream 600W
    SSD: Crucial M4 128GB --> firmware 0009 (no raid setup atm)
    HDD: Samsung Spinpoint T166 500GB (HD501LJ)

    I had crashing problems with my previous PC. There it was suggested it was my videocard so I bought the GTX 460. It didn't fix the problem, same with the PSU. So I thought I would make a whole new pc since it was outdated for (for example) Battlefield 3 anyway. I also used the 500GB HDD from my previous PC.

    My curent BIOS settings have speedstep, turbo mode, bluetooth and epu disabled, fans on turbo and RAM manually set to 9-9-9-24-2 with voltage on 1.50V

    What I have tried from suggestions on other forums:
    - I have all updates on windows installed.
    - Updating all mobo drivers (bios, lan, audio, etc)
    - Disabling onboard audio
    - Disabling turbo and speedstep
    - Memtest86: 5passes, no errors
    - Prime95 test 1 (small FFT) no errors
    - Prime95 test 2 (large FFT): Kernel error reboots. Changed some bios settings to decrease the heat (turn off speedstep, intel turbo mode, fans profile on turbo). Forum suggested it was RAM issues. I manually set the RAM in BIOS to 9-9-9-24-2 and voltage on 1.5V as suggested on Gskill website instead of "auto". Ran stable for over an hour with ~66-70C then I turned it off.

    And now my PC just freezes instead of auto rebooting (still no minidump though). Sugesstions are welcome.

    Just downloaded Furmark 1.9.1. Will let you know what happens.

    Furmark crashed my PC in 3 minutes. GPU temp was around 77-78C at that time.
