PNY GTX 660 TI causing computer reboots?

[Mercrae]

So to start off with, I've done a lot of searching and have yet to come up with a solution. I've tried disabling the HDMI audio drivers in hopes that was the problem, but that didn't work. I've swapped video cards out and my older GTX 460 worked perfectly but it's missing the HDMI to stream to my TV (I'm using my computer to stream netflix/hulu to the tv).

The most frustrating part is the issue is not consistant. I could play Saints Row 4 or Battlefied 4 (the two most common crashing) for 5 minutes or up to 2 hours without a problem but when it crashes it becomes a pretty consistant issue. I've checked my temps on both the CPU and GPU, CPU peaks at right around 130F degrees and GPU peaks at around 60 degrees Celsius.

Other programs such as playing WoW will cause the problem as well.


I have noticed that when it goes out, I get an audio buzz and the screen usually goes white.

Here are my specs.
Coolermaster 600W Silver rated PSU
Phenom 2 X6 1090T Black Edition (not overclocked)
M4A77T/USB3 Asus motherboard.
6 gb ddr3 ram (Low but can't afford more right now)
PNY GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2gb
1 120gb SSD
1tb HDD



I am out of ideas, and it seems that people get lots of results from this forum so I'm hoping for a miracle of my own at this point.. Thank you for your time!

The buzzing, could be a coil whine, coming from your PSU.

The buzzing actually comes through the speakers or headphones, would that still be possible?

Can you hear a audio buzz when the computer is running fine?
Try this, turn off system and unplug your front USB and audio header and see how that goes.
Come to think of it, I had a similar problem with my system, the system would crash along with a audio buzz, not only with game, but also when browsing the web, or watching a DVD movie.
But I forgot what I did do solve the problem since it took me months to find out what's actually causing it.
However I do remember it was something hardware related.

So you mean to disconnect the audio and front usb from the motherboard and see what happens?

Yes, disconnect the front usb and audio from motherboard and see what happens.

Well I'm working on attempting what you said (I'm at work with remote access), but in the mean time I was able to pull some specs from BlueScreenView and this is what I got.. Does this help at all? BlueScreenView screenshot
