Hey folks currently have a gtx660 dcu2 oc that has a problem when playing in game (dayz). After a period of time (could be 2 minutes or an hour, I will get some pink blocks/checker pattern and it will crash to desktop with windows noting the driver stopped responding. Sometimes I can relaunch the game and be ok for an hour or two after that and sometimes it will crash again right away.
Originally thought it was windows 8 after everything I tried was unsuccessful (TDR settings, Nvidia CP settings, underclocking the card), adding my older 8800gt in as the physx card etc. So I started clean on windows 7 last weekend using latest drivers but to no avail. Had suspected it might be my PCIE 1.1 board (older xfx 680i lt sli) but believe it's a hardware problem with the card itself after a few weeks of looking around. Heat-wise I've never seen it over 50 or 55c, don't think that is an issue. The utilization is rarely over 66% when the crash happens. Also for power I should be rounded there have an OCZ 700 Watt (oczgxs700). Have played a few sessions with only 1or2 crashes over 2 -4 hours, but more often than not it would every 20-30 minutes.
Thoughts? Bad Card? Have tried a lot over the last couple weeks, but willing to try anyting new I haven't thought of. If needed can upload a pic but looks similiar to the other gtx 660 dcu2 thread.
