Hi all,
I have a new build with the following specs:
MB: Asus Rampage V Extreme/USB3.1
CPU: Intel i7-5930k, currently not OC'ed
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz C16
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 80+ PLATINUM, 1000W
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX TITAN X (EVGA Overclocked version)
SSD (Win 10 boot drive): Intel 750 Series PCIe AIC 1.2TB Internal SSD
HDD: Western Digital Red Pro 4TB NAS
Keyboard: Corsair K95 RGB Mechanical
Mouse: Logitech G502 Proteus Core
I installed Windows 10 Pro on the Intel SSD, installation went smoothly. I updated all of the drivers from the Asus web site, and am
currently running those. Everything runs fine, mostly web browing with Chrome, MS Office apps and Quicken. I have sleep turned
off, and system is stable.
The only problem is when I try to run the two games I've got installed, GuildWars 2 and Skyforge, they both get blue screens after
approximately 1 to 5 minutes from starting them up. This is happens 100% of the time. I've tried many, many things to isolate the problem, but so far, no dice.
Some of the things I've done, that haven't helped:
1. Reseated the Titan X in the 1st PCI slot.
2. Removed the memory modules and installed them in reverse order in the same red slots.
3. Manually checked all connections on the motherboard (and elsewhere) to make sure they're attached well,
4. Inspected front and back of motherboard for possible contact with any loose wires or with other components that might
cause shorts.
5. Ran memory and stress tests on system using Asus PC Diagnotics program.
6. Tried turning down the overclocking on the Titan X using the Asus Precision X program. I don't know if this does anything
because the GPU board may be "hard-wired" to the overclocked speed.
There's one anomaly that I see in the UEFI Bios. It recognizes my RAM (all 32Gb) but it says the clock speed on the RAM
is 2133hz. I don't know if this is a problem, or if the Bios, by default, doesn't recognize anything over 2133 hz, which I thought
I read somewhere.
Anyway, if any of you are using a high-end graphics card on this motherboard with Windows 10, and have had seemingly random
BSODs when running games only, and have any solutions, recommendations, or additional information about this setup, I'd really
appreciate your response.
Since many of you are like me and have spent a small fortune to build a system for gaming primarily, I'm sure you can understand
that this is really frustrating.
Thanks in advance for your help.
