CPU : i7 4770k 3.9Ghz (good solid clock)
GPU Gtx 660 ZOTAC (clocks may be messed)
MOBO: ASUS MAXIUMUS 6 IMPACT
RAM: Corsair Dominator 1600mhz 16Gb 2 Channel
PSU:Corsair HX650
Windows 7 x64bit
Old ACER monitor x203h
Built the system a few days ago. Booted and ran well for first 2 days, then i updated the Gtx660 drivers from the disk version to 331.82. I messed with the memory clock and general clock speed in zotac firestorm. The computer crashed and i reset the MOBO back with the reset button on the back, and reset the GPU clocks back to stock.After that nothing was wrong, but about 30-1hour into Assassins Creed 4 the screen went purple with lots of visual errors. Then went black. I was getting a windows kernel error, but could not get the code down quickly enough. I restarted the computer, it boots fine all the way through into the desktop. About 10 seconds in the screen goes black and the monitor says no input, even though i have the side panel off and all the components, fan profiles, and graphics card are spinning. I booted into safe mode (how i am writing this) and everything is okay. Boots just fine. I downgraded the drivers back to the disk that came with the card, and still nothing. Same booting to desktop, then about 10 seconds then failure.
I have no idea what is wrong. maybe its the power into the GPU? its set at about 100% or maybe 110%? not sure. Ive heard that overvolting might be the solution. However you cannot access zotac firestorm in safe mode.
PLEASE HELP!!!
