I will spare everyone the time helping diagnosing this as googling shows in almost all cases the card is faulty and driver replacement doesn't resolve it (it didn't for me). Some evidence bios flashing and one case of baking the card in the oven (yes, that's right, to melt the card solder that's broken) worked but not sure if this was permanently.
I have the exact same symptoms discussed here and elsewhere and the story is consistent: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/...ver-issue.html
Not up to speed on hardware these days but suspect the GTX 1080 is the one to have? Also may do a memory upgrade too.
Any suggestions on hardware choices? Do I need to be sure a new card will fit my MB - i.e., are these all still "PCI" (SLI??) spec? (I don't want to buy VHS if I have Betamax). Also would like to use the existing power supply (600w).
My system is 4.5 years old and as follows - both the CPU and card were overclocked at the factory.
Asus Z87-K, Intel Z87 Chipset Intel Core i7 4770K, Haswell, 3.5GHz, Quad Core with HT, 8MB Cache Corsair H80i Hydro Series - High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler Extreme - Upto 4.4GHz - Tuned to absolute safe maximum, Performance prioritised over acoustics. 8GB Total (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance LP, 1600MHz 3GB EVGA GTX 780, 863MHz GPU, 2304 Cores, 6008MHz GDDR5 *No ATI VGA Card Required* (NVIDIA Required) Your choice of graphics card professionally overclocked, Requires Windows to be purchased with the system. 600W Corsair Gaming Series, 80PLUS Bronze (Single Graphics Card)
Thanks!
