Hello again, i`m posting this in the motherboards thread as i started getting this error after i got a new asrock z77pro4. My old mobo was ph67-ud3-b3 gigabyte. My gpu is a gtx 760 superclocked from evga nvidia, the thing is that i only started getting this error, randomly and often, every few mins, only after i moved everything on my new mobo. Any ideas on why? my guess is that it has something to do with bios. The computer runs fine without the gpu drivers though. So i`m guessing that there`s some kind of conflict between my mobo and gpu once the drivers are installed. Any ideas guys?

My system is: i5 3570k, evga 760 superclocked, asrock z77pro4, psu raidmax atx12v. Everything`s cool under the hood. I don`t know what else to say.
 

Yes, full format and install, same windows, all drivers...
Other things i tried, nvidia control panel from adaptive power to performance, reinstalled nvidia drivers without 3dvision, experience, anything that had 3d in it, changed windows power management o performance. atm i`m just changing bios settings, hope i can hit the right one.

 
Fingers X, after 15 mins of running smoothly "the fix" was that i had to change in bios the bandwidth of my gpu, although my gpu is pci-e 3 and in bios was set to auto ( gen 1, 2 or 3), i manually set it to 2, didn`t work for manually 3. The mobo sais that problems would appear if i use a sandy bridge and the maximum bandwidth(but will auto downgrade to 2), but i actually have an ivy bridge cpu which should work. Well no games currently require a pcie 3 bandwidth so i`m happy with 2. Now i can go ahead and continue my life, when i bump into these kind of things i ... everything stops.

Edit: Well that error didn`t show up any more, buuut after restart the gpu simply wouldn`t start and it required me to reset the bios. So now i simply changed the damn slot to the second pci-e but 2.0 Now everything seems to run smoothly as it should.
