BCCode 116 with GTX 780ti
Hello all, this has been an ongoing issue, so let me start from the top.
My PC is:
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
Intel i7 930
24gb trichannel Corsair Vengeance RAM
Asus GTX 780ti
Intel 240gb SSD (for OS) [Just upgraded to this yesterday]
Western Digital 1tb Caviar Black storage drive
Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit
About a month ago, I bought an Asus GTX 780ti [newegg.com]. It was an upgrade from my old 470 GTX I had been using since I built this PC roughly four years ago. The card installed fine. After a few days, I got on Battlefield with my friends and my computer crashed. Went from playing to black screen. The fans went into overdrive for a second and sound still played, but nothing happened.
I did a bunch of work from there. The guys at GeForce forums walked me through a bunch of steps [can be read here]. I rolled back drivers. I tried benchmark tests. At the end of a long process, I had upgraded my BIOS, and rolled back my driver and it helped. The crashing stopped, except for very specific things. When I load up Paracel Storm on Battlefield 4, it will crash once. If I boot up again and load BACK into the game, it will run fine. The same will happen on Hainan Resort. If you do not play Battlefield, these maps are largely water based. Lots of water effects and physics.
Between that post and now, I had the problem intermittently. Some nights, I could play 10 games of Battlefield with no issue, but then it would crash. The GPU is not overheating, as it isn't really getting over 80C. The CPU is water cooled. The other day, I decided it was time to upgrade my system again, so I bought and installed an SSD. After reinstalling the OS and the latest drivers, I loaded up Battlefield. It immediately crashed on loading. This time, though, it left a crash dump and an error code. It left BCCode 116. I researched the issue, and I have tried most of what is prescribed to fix it.
Right now, the desktop is running memtest86 [this post is coming off of my laptop]. I only have one .dmp file so far, as the computer has only crashed once after I installed the OS on the SSD. When the memtest is done, I will post a link to my .dmp file.
Also note: before I reinstalled my OS onto the SSD, I cleanly installed my old GTX 470 and loaded up Battlefield 4. It gave me an actual bluescreen that gave the error code of IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO once. The 780ti does NOT give that bluescreen, but rather goes straight off.
Right now, I have a RMA being processed by ASUS. Any other feedback would be welcome!
