I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce, 8GB RAM, 600W CoolerMaster, i5 2500K, two SSDs and one HDD.
I installed my drivers and then played one round of Diablo 3 after which I opened the NVIDIA Control Panel and then it immediately went into a blank red screen. I forcefully rebooted the computer and chose to boot normally after which it BSODed mentioning a graphics problem and then rebooted a second time.
What's going on? Do I have a faulty card? I just bought it today and installed the latest drivers.
Not sure if this helps:
EDIT: Now I'm getting constant error messages along the lines of NVIDIA drivers have crashed and recovered. I've run Heaven DX11 and Furmark to stress test it and it went to 70C without problems(I got green artifacts in Heaven DX11) however the moment I closed furmark and opened Firefox my system hung.
EDIT 2: Now I can't even boot without getting nvlddmkm.sys BSOD. I've tried driver versions 301.25(drivers on the CD that came with the GPU), 301.34(official oldest), 301.42 (official latest), 301.59, 301.71. None of them fixed the problem. Refitted my GTX 260 for now. I'm leaving RMA as the last resort because there are many people complaining of crashes as well so I am unable to isolate whether it is my drivers or my card.
Please advise me. Thanks in advance.
