Problems with PNY GeForce GTX 570
Hey Guys, I have been having trouble with my graphics card. When I run the "windows experience index rating" asessment, my computer will always crash when it hits the Direct X 9 ALU Assessment step. (Screen goes black, system unresponsive.) I have followed the STOP 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR troubleshooting, to no avail. FURmark runs fine on it, temps hit 80 and stabilize without a crash. It seems to only happen when DirectX is used, I believe it's the DirectX kernel that crashes... Also, it's one of those newer cards that has the "coil whine" that whines in correspondence to its frame rate.
A few more things: (continued from here)
- I run Crysis 2. I can run it just fine no crashes, with a lower resolution and a lower graphics.
- If I run Crysis 2 with everything set on highest it WILL crash.
- BUT If I start the game on low settings, the play for a minute or two, and bump the settings up to full/max resolution, the game runs FINE.
- After I boost the settings up to highest, I can play as long as I want without a hitch. BUT, if I minimize the game window and re-open it, the system will Black screen. It won't crash, however, when the settings are low/medium.
Heres the craziest thing:
I can minimize Crysis and run the Windows 7 computer rating assessment and it goes through the tests just fine.
Then, when I close the game and try and rerun the assessment, it crashes the same way it did before. WTF!
Thanks in advance!
