Aero randomly crashing
hi there
i have some issues here
i had alot of black outs that killed my old PSU and GPU (which was Geforce 295 gtx from Gigabyte)
i replace them with Geforce 295 GTX from XFX and AcBel R88 1100W
after that i notice that the win7's AERO turn off often (which never happened to me before with this build since i had it.. and i had it for 2 years allready...)
i thought to myself that it probably issue with my OS and because i planed to format anyway i thought that i have nothing to worry.
then i reinstall Mass Effect 2 to finish its DLCs before 3 will come out and saw that the game crash for me with TDRs and black screens, i played ME2 two years ago with that pc and had no issues at all....
i tried to change my driver (which was the 295.51 beta) to other old drivers, i tested the 260.99 which usually was stable for my older 295 gtx card and the issue still was there.... i tried 3 more drivers and still no luck...
then i formatted and notice that the pc working a bit slower at some parts, and after each 20 mins my Aero was turning off again before i install any drivers, it never happened to me in this pc with my old GPU and PSU and i formatted it really alot. after that i installed the 260.99 driver again for a test and let win7 to test my system points and in the middle of the test my driver crash and when i tried it again i got black screens and had to forcely turn off my pc! after that i fully delete the 260.99 and installed the 295.51 beta again..., the sudden aero issues stops and win7 test my hardware without TDR or BOSD, But again when i play different games i get ton of TDRs! i never get such number with my old 295 gtx, what do you think it is guys? maybe it my CPU?
does Gigabye was way better then XFX? we talking here about the total same cards... it just other brand...
