my system: i7 4790k 8gb ram, 850watt PSU, PNY GTX980 Ti
I built a nice little water cooled mini-itx gaming PC, everything fitted in a corsair 250d case. Only thing that bothered me was the gpu had a reference cooler, and it sounded like a jet fighter taking off when I overclock to give myself some FPS headroom on BF4. without OC, 1440p Ultra, bf4 sometimes drops below 60fps when there's a shit ton of stuff happening, with OC, BF4 never dips below 75FPS, and averages around 90-100FPS
anyways, i had my GPU overclocked to 1440mhz, +87mv, and at 100 percent gpu usage, it was at 110 percent TDP, and stayed at 70 degrees. It ran BF4 and Witcher 3 for hours and hours and hours without a single hiccup. But it sounded like a jet roaring in my bedroom.
I ordered a Arctic hybrid II, and I installed it onto my GPU today. After the nightmare that is getting it to fit inside my case because arctic wanted to be special and have rear mounted radiators, I opened up BF4.
I kept a check on temperature, and it plateaued at 70 degrees after 5 minutes. the only difference is that it wouldn't go past 1330mhz. And then everything went black. Monitors had no signal.
This, of course, is nothing new to me. Previously, I was running SLI 660TI by MSI, also overclocked. the worst that happened was artifacts started to appear, and NVIDIA drivers shut itself off, reporting a kernal error, but it always restarted. This time, it was not the case.
I entered the windows 7 boot screen, and it froze, displayed some artifacts, and dropped me down to the lowest resolution. I logged into the desktop, started up GeForce experience, and it told me to download new drivers. I installed "new" drivers, and I rebooted. Same issue. went back into GeForce, and again, it told me to install new drivers. And I rebooted again, and the same thing.
I checked GPU-Z, and while it detects the GPU, it read 0mhz on the core clock and memory clock. Everything behaves exactly as it behaved when I just installed the OS, but before I installed drivers for the first time.
I checked device manager, and it gave me error readings on the 980 TI, saying something like "windows disabled driver because device reported error"
What do internet?
