Asus GTX680 direct CUII TOP

[nomadVP]

Hey guys, I've installed this card about a week ago but never got a chance to use it cause I was busy overclocking my CPU. Anyways I installed the card and installed the latest driver package from nvidia. Anyways, installed some games. Battle field 3. Guild wars 2, need for speed most wanted 2012, hit man absolution. every game runs for about 5 mins then crashes wdf...... RAGE. I crank the god dam fan speed up to 100% and the games still crash? I'm stuck and I'm not sure what to do. Temps are like 60ish when I play all games on ultra. I tried to down clock the card but it would still freeze up or driver would crash. Sighs what to so guys? If I return it so I have to go through asus or do I go through where I got it from. My system is stable I've done stress test and memory test and everything is sweet aswell. so I'm not sure what's causing the card to keep crashing.
I also changed the power settings. from control panel and power options from the nvidia software, I went to bios and cranked up the igpu load line 140% and some other option to extreme. Stil.... Fails on me.
Sorry if I've made any typos I typed this up throughy phone.

60ish is low for a graphics card. It's not to do with the temps.

Remove the overclock from your CPU and reset your system all to default settings - then try your games again. If still unstable try different drivers.

Surely people have experienced the same issue ! i dont want to change all the settings back to stock. I already have the latest driver ? i cant upgrade to anything more higher...

Save your settings under an OC Profile, then you can reinstate them all by reloading the profile at a later time.

Without knowing if it's unstable at stock speeds you won't know whether it's the graphics card or overclock causing the issue.

Try to remove card, and re-seat it, just in case it´s not seated 100% correctly. What are your hardware spec.s?

I found a new beta driver just released yesterday from Nvidia, im going to remove the current driver completly with driver fusion and install the
Version:

I will let you guys know how i go.

i checked the card it looks like its properly in.
Will let you guys know how i go with the new driver.

MarshallR's right.
Without testing it with a stock clockspeed you can never determine for sure if it's an unstable overclock or something else whether it be driver related or the graphics card itself.

Not wanting to change everything back to default stock speeds to test is really not helping your mentality of wanting to fix your issue. It's like saying your violently sick and you want to get better but you refuse to want to see the doctor.

Haha yeah you guys got a point will let you guys know how i go.

And a board may look firmly in place, it is known to have happened, that a simple re-seating could fix stuff. It´s done in 1 minute, and it´s free...
