Hello,
I've had my custom pc for 2 years now, within the first year my graphics card crashed and broke, so I got it replaced by RMA from EVGA. When I placed my brand new card in problems started occuring. As soon as I started to play any even slightly demanding game e.g Borderlands 2, the screen go's black "DVI not detected" and the error message "Drivers have crashed and then recovered" pops up. On some other games the screen freezes but is covered in green/pink pixelated squares and I have to reboot my PC. Most recently the game screen freezes but sound continues to loop and a restart is required. It lasts about roughly 2/5 minutes of game time in games like guildwars2/CSGO to crash.
I am using the most recent NVIDIA drivers and all game settings suggested by the NVIDA Geforce experience.
I have dusted my whole PC and monitored temperatures. GPU not above 55 and CPU is around 30-40. So have assumed the problem is not overheating.
I have read about changing the registry values for TdrDelay etc and have tried that with no success, then also tried the Microsoft Fixit download.
I have performed 10 passes with Memtest and have discovered 0 errors with my memory.
I have changed my memory timings to that are written on the sticks.
I don't believe there can be an issue with my GPU as it is literally brand new sent from Nvidia maybe 4/5 days ago.
Any ideas to fix this problem?
Thanks!
