I've already posted on the PCPP forums and the LTT forums with no luck, so I figured I'd try here too. I'm desperate.
Games that I play regularly have become incredibly unstable for seemingly no reason. GTA 5, Modern Warfare and Overwatch have all been crashing consistently. I also picked up Rise of the Tomb Raider when it was on sale, and it has also crashed every session.
GTA 5: I can play GTA 5 for maybe 20 minutes tops before it crashes with a "ERR_GFX_D3D_INIT" error message.
Modern Warfare: Here's how the crash goes: Game freezes > both monitors go black > there's a very brief flash of static-looking artifacting on my main monitor > then I receive a "Dev error 6068" message. I've also received "Dev error 6070" as well, but mostly I get 6068.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: This game crashes in the EXACT same way as Modern Warfare, only I get a different error message, naturally. Game freezes > both monitors go black > there's a very brief flash of static-looking artifacting > then I receive a "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG" error message.
Overwatch: Game freezes > I get an error message that reads "Your rendering device has been lost."
What I've tried: My drivers are up to date. I tried rolling back drivers. I've clean-installed every driver installation using Display Driver Uninstaller. I tried moving GTA 5 & Rise of the Tomb Raider to a different drive. I've played with Nvidia control panel settings. I reinstalled Windows 10 completely clean. I've tried re-seating my GPU & dusting it.
My specs:
i7 4770K @4.2Ghz
EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC2 (stock speeds)
32GB Kingston HyperX Beast 2400Mhz RAM
ASUS Maximus VI Formula motherboard
Sumsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD (Games drive)
Crosair Force Series 240GB SSD (Games drive)
Corsair Force Series 180GB (OS drive)
Corsair RM1000 Watt PSU
1440p G-Sync Dell monitor
All temperatures are fine too. I'm worried it's a hardware issue with my GPU, but I don't know for sure. I don't have another GPU to test with either. And if anyone knows what to look for in Event Viewer, that would be great. Someone suggested for me to look in Event Viewer after a crash, but I have no idea what information to look for.
Is there anything else I can try?? Is there a definitive way I can test my GPU for faults?
