Hey guys, I just got my new EVGA GTX 780 Superclocked w/ ACX.
I uninstalled the AMD drivers and Installed the newest NVIDIA Driver.

I have been running alot of benchmarks and everything seems fine, my scores are normal. I have two games installed Metro Last Night and GRID 2.

When I play GRID 2, the game sometimes crashes to desktop and sometimes I have to launch it 2-3 times before the games start.
I haven't been playing Metro Last Night that much, and I haven't had time yet but it hasn't crashed for me yet.

Yesterday I experienced the Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered. And I also got a blue-screen with this message
CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

This also happened while playing GRID 2.

Do u guys if there are problems with GRID 2 or could there be something else?
My temps on CPU and GPU are fine, I have checked this many times.

Do you mind listing your other specs as well as if you're using DVI, HDMI, or DP to connect to your monitor?

Just never hurts to have the best picture of what you've got when trying to diagnose.

Is that HDMI also providing audio? Have you disabled your onboard audio to avoid a conflict?

Hope it helps!

Having a card that nice and having it not work great is a pain!

I used to have a problem with nVidia audio drivers. I would get BSODs. I reverted to the MS driver and have lost that problem.
