Hi everyone. I'll try to keep it short and sweet.
I bought components for a new rig, built it, worked great for first two days.
Nvidia GTX 760 (GFX)
Asus B85M-G (MOBO)
Cooler Master B700 (PSU)
Intel i5 4460 (CPU)
Windows 8.1, 64 bit
However, late on second day, my games (shogun II and rome II, later League of Legends as well) just started crashing. First I thought it was related to the game but later I saw the message ''Nvidia display/kernel mode driver has stopped working and recovered succesfully'' when I alt tabbed quickly. It only happens when starting or playing games.
I have been having problems since. Sometimes the game just minimizes and won't open, sometimes it crashes in the loading screen, sometimes it crashes while playing a few minutes, sometimes my PC just shuts down, or it makes a loud EHHHHHHHH noise.
I've tried a LOT, including:
Regedit (D/Q-word fixes)
Uninstalling driver completely, sweeping remainders, reinstalling from disc (worked for like 2 hours the first time, now it doesn't even work anymore)
MSI Afterburner (tuning down core clock and memory clock)
Changing preference in power supply to performance rather than adaptive (in both windows and nvidia control panel)
Some beta/previous drivers
Could an old monitor be an issue? Because I am using a fairly old monitor.
Still any kind of feedback (even further explaination or correction of above fixes) are extremely welcome. I am about to send my card back and get an AMD Radeon 280, but I am putting my faith in the internet community for a last desperate attempt,
