GeForce Nvidia GTX 570 crashing

[Damon_3]

Hello, I own a GTX 570 graphics card and I seem to be running into a problem where it crashes when playing 3D games. The weird part is, I can run Furmark, Futuremark, Valley Engine. I can test them all and it doesn't crash. Now if I run any 3D game, IE Dirt Rally, Trackmania, ect. It causes my screen to turn a different color each time, and I have to hard reset my tower. Or it automatically restarts my computer. Now my temps are under control, normally idling around 40-45 ish, then getting up to about 70c under load. My build is currently
Processor: First Gen I5 760
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55d-E PRO
Ram: 16gb 4gbx4 DDR3 1600 Corsair
PSU: solytech ATX 800w
GPU: GeForce Zotac Nvidia GTX 570 not OC'

Hopefully someone on here can help me find and fix the problem! Thank you!

try under clocking your GPU a 100 Mhz just for the sake of argument. If that doesn't have any effect it lets look at windows and your driver stack

I just took it down 100 Mhz and I could run it for a lot longer than before. Now it did crash to a white screen, but I still had input control. Is there a way to have a setting to log temps always?

yeah, try running GPU-Z and log the temps while you game. if that's the issue, you can see what's going on while you stress it.

Alright I'm going to try that right now and see what happens.

Alright, now to most people this wouldnt be good news but to me it is. I just found out through one of my games, that my driver was crashing. I'm up to date on all drivers for my GPU according to GeForce experience. GPU-Z was telling me, that under load of games my GPU stayed a steady 75c and never went higher.

 

[Mark RM]

OK, take your underclocking experiment further , 100 Mhz at a time.

Applause on using first gen i5!!! you rock!!!

Anyways, it could be the VRAM problem... Try to lower your memory clock a little bit

 

[Damon_3]

haha thanks! I will look into that, but right now its working wonderfully. I havent been able to play games on this computer in about 6 months. So far its working, and you have no idea how thankful I am for that.

I have the same graphics card and what I did was increase the voltage to 1025,also don't use the new 368.39 nad 368.69 NVIDIA drivers,they seem to crash the games that I play.So I had to roll back the drivers.
