[QUOTE="forgottenuser79643, post: 937417, member: 88069"] Like Opc9 mentioned, make sure you have the latest driver installed. When in doubt of corruption after a clean driver installation, use DDU in safe mode. If it still is not stable I suggest turning off the PC and make sure the cables are properly seated in the connectors on both the PSU as well as the GPU. Re-plug them if necessary. The next time you do a game session try to do run it together with a gpu monitoring software. Could be anything of choice like MSI Afterburner, HWiNFO64, etc... This is to see if the temperature doesn't play a factor. No card, regardless of series and intended models, is created equal. If it does play a factor like a sudden spike in temperature at start without having run a single player game yet for example, you would need to make the fan curve more aggressive or slightly underclock it or both. But first try a clean reinstallation of the driver package with clean install feature ticked during installation. You can optionally use DDU, when in doubt of a corrupt driver that hasn't been cleaned properly. [/QUOTE]
