Last Update: @rcald2000, I have already done (1) and never done (3). for (2) sorry I didnt and I do not think it could make a difference because I have said I used an old GTX 460 and there was no more problem. So dear all. I got a new GTX 970 from another brand (EVGA 970 FTW+). It requires x1...

HI all, I have tried Mike_144 solution by uninstalling driver using DDU in safe mode. It didn't work. Still the same problem. (But I did not uninstall GeForce Experience software) 1. my Power supply is Cosair HX750W but it was like 5 years ago. 2. I did use OCCT Power Supply test for 30...

hi all, another update. 1. I have tried updating the BIOS to the latest one for my motherboard, lol it wont even boot, so I revert back to old BIOS. no changed has been made to motherboard 2. Tried FurMark StressTest for 30 minutes, but do not seem to have problem. 3. I have ordered a...

could it be just a hardware failure? My card is newly bought, maybe I should try go get it replace?

no luck. I have done the following. 1. GPU memory test using memtestG80 (3200MB, 100 Iterations) -- NO ERROR 2. NO MORE Overclocking of CPU, reset BCLK to 133, running at STOCK speed 3. Set the GPU fan to kick-in more aggressively, so now temperature is only about 6X max 70C degrees even at...

@sancho_mic I will set BCLK to 133 tonight. my i7 870 is old, but I have checked several benchmark, it doesnt affect much for gaming as I am playing at 2560X1080, it's more GPU bound then CPU bound. Its 4 Core + HyperThread, stock speed is 3.2Ghz

all right. Will set the CPU to Stock (133 BCLK) and try again. Will report later. @Amd4lif3. Thanks for the Intel tool, but you kept mentioning bottleneck, I dont see how bottleneck can crash a game, worse cast is I do not get enough performance what GTX 970 and truely deliver, but based on the...

1. how can I stress test a GPU for free? Any program? 2. the temp is max at 80 because the Zotac program will automatically control the fan. Of course I can increase the fan speed to lower the temperature. 3. Yes I overclock the CPU, BCLK is 160 (instead of 133), but I set PCI express speed to...

HI guys, Just got my Zotac GTX 970 2 weeks ago. it passed 3D mark benchmark few times without problems, but several games that I play they often crash once in a while randomly. It can be as short as every 5 minutes to once in 2 hours. Sometimes after a while during game play, I see some...

someone said I could just disconnect all the harddrive except the C: (Disk 4), and then use a windows 10 DVD to boot and recover, could this be a solution or?

HI all, attached you can see my hard drive config in Windows 10. My main Harddrive for Windows 10 is the 232.88GB (Disk 4) = Samsung SSD 250 GB = my C: drive. Somehow, I want to remove my old drive (Disk 0 WD160 149.05 GB) as I have a new harddrive (Disk 5, still formatting) I tried taking...

THanks everyone for the answer and the explaination from Shneiky. @Shneiky, then can you give an example of when a CPU might bottleneck a GTX 970? I am now using 160 X 24 = 3.84Ghz with HT on. Windows and 3D mark reports only 3.5Ghz (160 X22), but when I use IntelBurnTest I can see that all 4...

thanks for the reply. as long as it's above 60 fps I do not care about the bottleneck, but it looks like for GTA V I do have a bit of bottleneck. sorry I dont mean HT, I mean Intel Turbo Boost.... I wish I can use 200 Base clk, but like I said before using 200 x 20 = 4Ghz will make my CPU...

actually I really have no clue about bottlenecking, but I have searched before that it could be the case as i7 870 is old already, hence people suggest me to overclock it to around 4Ghz. I can find the proof here. Source: Bottleneck I think the Hyper 212+ cannot be so bad, but I have been...

which case do you mean it's too hot? during IntelBurnTest? with my current setting (CPUZ picture above), IntelBurnTest will give 87 degree at max but IntelBurnTest is really stressing a lot. for 3D Mark I will get 5x to 6x Max at 70 degree for CPU physics test.
