Many games are crashing for me, and sometimes an error that the graphic card is not responding pops up.

I tried uninstalling the drivers of the graphic card and reinstalling them, I reattached the graphic card and still I have had no luck so far. Would increasing the voltage of the graphic card solve this problem or no. P.S the crashes are quite random, it could be in the menu at 360 fps after a minute from launch or it could be after an hour of gameplay, examples are wolfenstein, watch dogs and metro last light ( this one crashes right away). THE TEMPERATURES ARE ALL FINE.

My specifications:
Case: STRYKER COOLER MASTER
CPU: i7- 4790K stock with NINJA 3B cpu cooler
Graphic card: GTX 660 super clocked EVGA 2GB
Ram: 16 GB ( 2*8GB)
Motherboard: Z97
power supply: Tagan 900 watts
Native resolution is 1920 by 1080



 
Solution


Hi, I also had this problem where games would randomly crash- in fact i even made a thread about it on toms hardware here > http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2266152/nvidia-driver-crashing-recovered.html <

the solution which appears to have worked for me is the underclocking one this might not work for you but appears to have worked for me (i used msi afterburner but others can be used such as the evga one presumably installed with your gpu.) I underclocked to the stock values for the gpu core clock (those stated by nvidia not evga) which was -20 in my case. I also upgraded to the newest driver which I installed from the nvidia website (i.e. not geforce experiance).

after using those for a while (with no crashes) i reverted back to the normal core clock values, so +/- 0 and have not seen any crashes since.

obviously you should try removing any manual overclocks if you have applied any first then try some games then if that fails try the above.

good luck
 
Solution
have you overclocked the GPU ? check the GPU temperatures while load better if u do a furmark test for 20 - 30 min.
make sure that all the drivers are up to date.
In BIOS, check the listed voltages against the manufacturer recommended specs. Reset the voltages to factory defaults and see if the video problems disappear.
