New NVIDIA card causing freezes and driver-crashes
hi!
I recently purchased a new Graphic Card (Nvidia Geforce 670) and ever since I've experienced random freezes and moments where it's drivers stopped working.
When the freeze happens It'll remain frozen until I reset the PC and if I've speakers on it'll blow out a nasty BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ sound.
The freezes appear to occur randomly. It can go days without them and sometimes (like now, I had less then an hour inbetween)
In addition to that I quite frequently (daily at least) have my monitors go black and I get the "Nvidia Drivers stopped working" message. If I'm lucky it'll revert back to a previous stage where it worked fine and all I've to do is reboot the programs i'm running. If I'm unlucky, it doesn't stop until i've pushed the reset button.
I don't know for sure that it's the new card causing it but considering the circumstances and the issues I'd say it is. Before this card I ran AMD's 6970 without any issues.
I've already removed and reinstalled the Nvidia drivers and it didn't seem to help.
I'm running
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k, Sandy Bridge.
12GB ram
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 MoBo
Nvidia Geforce GTX 670
Help & suggestions are extremely appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Lajz.
