my current rig

e8400
8gb ram
ati 7770 1gb
400w sparkle power rails are .3 to .6 above ratings at load

old rig had a 9600gt in it and was rock solid


Had a 9600gt before got a 7770 recently but I keep getting stop errors when playing games. stock clock speed is 1000mhz. I lowered it to 950mhz and its stableish as it still crashes in some games but not bf3 or crysis just some random games like walking dead and arkham origins.

total power consumption with 9600gt is 195w (killawatt meter used)

with 7770 rails still holding above their respective numbers and killawatt shows 190 (added a few hds since 9600gt)

My question is what could be causing this? I used the latest official and beta drivers

heats a non issue. psu seems strong. everything is stable with the 9600gt. Is it the card?

I have requested an advanced rma so I will find out soon but I want to see if anyone has other ideas.

I also ran furmark along with a video encoding to stress both. tested all ram. removed extra unneeded for tests hds/

have you tried older drivers?
running with a different ram configuration? (like only using half of what you have)

furmark is not really a good test, is to unrealistic and the newer GPUs/drivers have built in protections, use something like unigine heaven I guess.

just the latest and greatest drivers o yea also the one that came with the card.

Got any drivers you recommend?


but the very same configuration (removed the 2 new hds so it can be what it was with the previous card) is rock solid with my 9600gt.
