Put together a new rig last month comprising of:
Skylake I7-6700
980ti (originally an MSI, replaced with EVGA FTW)
EVGA 750W gold PS
Gigabyte GA-7170XP-SLI MB
32GB Crucial D4 2666 Elite
Samsung SSD
Dell 3415W
Windows 10
Running 362 drivers
Immediately had issues with TDR errors (blackscreen lock-ups) and separate freezes where games would lockup and require a manual reset (audio looping sometimes, screen remains visible). I replaced the original 980TI (MSI) with an EVGA card (FTW edition) and since then have had zero TDR errors or blackscreens. However games are still, occasionally, freezing.
Unfortunately I dont have a tremendous amount of time to test but each of the last three weekends with the new card Ive seen the crashes (approximately happens once every 5ish hours of gaming). Same crash occurs across several games including newer titles like Division and older like Dragon Age Inquisition. They also occur in pretty lightweight titles where the GPU isnt being pushed. After reboot, everything is fine and there are no events in the system log with the EVGA card. Crashes seem to occur after playing a bit, but hard to say if thats related, GPU temps are fine and none of the hardware has been overclocked.
I moved the NVIDIA drivers forward to the latest version last night to test and should probably do memtest as well as maybe a reset on Windows 10. Im just not 100% sure I feel I can largely rule out the GPU since this type of crash now occurred across two GPUs. Ive also updated BIOS/drivers for the MB.
Any suggestions would be appreciated 🙂
Regards
