GPU Voltage Question

[jclary6]

Hey, I'm fairly new to PC building, and I have a problem. When I play games, I get the STOP 0x116 BSOD. I've been through hell and back trying to fix this problem (yes I do have updated drivers), and I am starting to question the voltage modes on my GPU. My GPU runs at 300 Core, and 575 Memory @.95V standard. It runs at 1000 core, and 1125 Memory @1.2V. I have the factory overclocked 1GB XFX 7770 Ultra OC edition, which runs at 1095 and 1245 standard, but I find that the game crashes too much on those clocks. As I decrease the clocks, it is more stable and allows me to run said games longer, but still does not seem to resolve my predicament. If I set the clocks too low, the game crashes more often as well. I was wondering if that 1.2V is a good target voltage for my GPU at those clocks on heavy load. I do not have a faulty GPU, as this same problem was happening on a 6570 I had with the same system. I have reformatted Win7, checked the registry, and most things you would think to do. I crash most on DayZ, and Battlefield 4 last time I checked lasted for 3 hours until it died. Hopefully you know what to do and assist me in solving this problem! Cheers!

I wonder if you PSU is struggling to perform. How old is your system? It could be that you need a new PSU.

As I said, I am new to PC building. I built mine 2 months ago.
