Hi so I recently bought a new pc prebuilt from a build master guy so it didnt come with a graphics card installed so I installed my new zotac gtx 960. I installed drivers and everything. So I start playing csgo on ULTRA everything at 110 fps. Then I decide wow what would this graphics card do with gta v so I install gta v and put it at ultra settings getting about 40 fps. So I set the settings and go into the game and 1 min into the game my pc crashes. I try again crash. So then I installed 3dmark. Runs all the tests until the last one CRASH. So then I installed whocrashed and found out it was whea_uncorrectable_error which appartantly is hardware failure or driver incompatablility. So I reinstall drivers I wipe every nvidia thing off I went in myself and made sure everything was gone restarted and then installed drivers again. SAME THING HAPPENS. Could someone please explain to me what I could do to fix this? Thank you very much for taking the time to solve this issue.

Graphics card: Zotac Nvidia Gtx 960

Processor AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor

I tried what you said and it did the same stuff.

Edit.
Tried again I didnt wait long enough first time now everything works great. I stuck my seperate 1000w supply outside of case powering gtx 960 works like a charm ultra settings gta v 60fps

You might have a faulty ram. If you have several dimms try only with one. It might be a graphic card faliure , some functions might not work. Have you tried to reinstall the os?
