Code:

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Driver Version: 9.18.13.2641

You're using driver version 326.41 which is in the BETA stage.


Roll back your drivers to a more stable release, I suggest 314.22.

• Nvidia | Uninstall Graphics Drivers
• Then follow with a pass of Driver Sweeper | Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling

Download | 314.22

When installing select Custom Settings (Advanced) and uncheck:

• 3D Vision (all of them).
• HD Audio.
• Nvidia Updates.
• Don't install Geforce Experience.
• Do check Preform a clean installation.

Now as for your lack of cooling:

Download Speccy and post a screenshot.

• One while idle.
• Second while under load.

Launch Speccy and let it sit at the desktop, while playing a game for 20 odd minutes or so tab out and take a screenshot.

Can you elaborate about what was happening during the past four days?
Also upload a new scan of SFDT.

You didn't follow my suggestion about posting Speccy's summary window.

-========================-



RAM is a possible culprit.

• Follow this tutorial about Memtest 86+.
• The test is an overnight test, let it go through 8 consecutive passes.

   Note

Pay close attention to Part 3 of the tutorial is errors are found.
