Hello everyone,

Recently I went through a whole ordeal of my computer breaking in... too many ways to say the least. (Hard drive corruption, numerous OS installs, and a bunch of other stuff... The old post was here).

Specs:
MOBO : Asus maximus hero vii
Psu: evga 850 g2
Cpu: i7 4990k
Gpu: gtx titan (currently using a gtx 770 until I find a fix for my titan)
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16GB


Problem: When the Titan was in the PC it would cause a nvlddmkm.sys BSOD 100% of the time. It was (seemingly) impossible to fix this issue after 7 days of spending all of my time off work looking up solutions and trying them out. As listed in my old post I tried doing the following:

- Using DDU and reinstalling the three latest nvidia drivers for my card.
- Switched out all parts with my spare parts (except the motherboard and processor, because my other cpu is amd). Nothing appears to be broken, unless it is in fact the motherboard.
- Reinstall windows (i've done this four times)
- Updating mobo drivers (also causes the same BSOD!) from the original mobo disc and online.
- I took the whole PC apart and looked for things that could be wrong and nothing was broken externally or causing shorts.
- Updating the graphics driver directly through nvidia website and geforce experience.
- Tried updating through device manager.

All of the above options obviously did not work for solving the problem. It turned out I had to fresh install windows, and use my gtx 770 instead (everything works perfect now).

Question: Is there any possible solutions to fixing my Titan? I am fairly new at this in-depth computer stuff (all I know is how to build :pt1cable:).
 
Solution
???? well look at the cost of a new like card ?? only you know weather its worth it to you ?? see what evga does to guarantee there repairs so if they charg you to fix it how do they back it up if it still fails after you get it back ??

that's kind of a catch 22 and roll of the dice

as for me I just throw stuff in the junk box shrug my shoulders and move on go to egg add to cart and hope the next is better I don't spend a 1000$ on anything like that anyway at most I would try a 700$ 980ti hybrid that I have been interested in but just cant pull that trigger and this poor old 7850 is still doing all I ask of it today??


Yeah I've put this card on full load and no crashes. And yes it crashed another computer, just the titan was put in the other computer. Do you think bios flash would help if it even managed to work?
