Gtx 780 Ti DX11 Game Crashes

[rakoja]

Hello There,

i guess i could need some help of specialists here

At first my Specs:

Asus Sabertooth z77 (Mainboard)
Intel i7 3770k (CPU)
Corsair RM 650 (PSU)
8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum (CL9, 2133MHz) (RAM)
EVGA GTX 780 Ti SC

All that running on a Samsung 840 Evo with 120gigs and a WD Green (2TB) for the rest.


What i'm experiencing:

The games work. But after around 5-10 Minutes playing they crash with the windows error "the program xyz is not working anymore and needs to be stopped".
I also started looking into the Windows Event log, where there are very different errors for the games. it's mostly some dll which will be described as "corrupted". Sometimes I even get Bluescreens for different reasons.

I run without any OC, tried to underclock the card as much as possible with EVGA Precision X 16 but I do not have any success here.

Unigene Heaven Bench is running just perfectly fine for around 30 minutes, i guess this should be enough to say, that this is better then the games i tried. EDIT: Or not... I got it frozen for three times now, each time a different error (two errors were just causing "programm needs to be stoped", the third was a bluescreen with the message "multiple_irp_complete_requests").

Driver is up to date of course. Because I could not explain it anymore I upgraded my windows with a fresh win8 installation, not as successfull as expected.


Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance and kind regards

Try this, it might work.
First of all you need to TOTALLY remove all the old drivers. Use this link.

Note:
Select the respective company(i.e Nvidia or ATI) drivers to be uninstalled.
Use clean and restart option.
And then install the new drivers after rebooting.

Hello, I dont think this would work. Since I installed Windows 8 as a completely new installation there should not be any older drivers for other GPUs installed. except the Intel HD from that i7, which has been installed directly thru Windows Update. I deactivated this card in the device manager.

I had somehow similar issues which were resolved completely by flashing the mobo bios to a new version. Mobo is Gigabyte z97x-ud5h-bk

Hello,

thank you for the information.

I have tried several things at once, that's why I cant truely say where the problem was.

I used a second seperate cable for the pci-e power connectors, cleared the cmos and cleaned the pci-e slot on the mobo.
It's finally working well, also with just one cable which splits into 8 + 8 pins. Maybe it was just the mobo reset here (there is no update available since 2013).
