670 drivers crashing repeatedly

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
Hi I have a 670 which has been working perfectly up until now. Lately I have been getting driver crashes, when I am gaming sometimes the screen will go black because the driver has crashed but then when the picture comes back it will be gone again in a split second, and another driver crash happens, then another, anything between 2 and 5 so far. I have a windforce GTX 670. At first I thought fair enough, and lowered my overclock, but then it kept happening, so I removed the overclock, still happening. It is not the chip that is bad, I can run heaven at 1289 mhz stable for 2 hours, but then whilst playing mw3 it will happen. It is seemingly random. I am running two 1080p screens. Also my power supply's (OCZ ZT 750w) fan goes crazy sometimes, as the fan is load dependent and not temperature dependent I was wondering if the graphics card might be messing with that as the two problems appeared at the same time. I have tried 301.42 same problem, 301.34 same problem, and 304.48 same problem. I have not tried 304.79 because I read somewhere that is was unstable. Any help is appreciated.

edit: I am not saying that it will definitely not crash during heaven, I am saying that it could run heaven for 2 hours and not crash, and mw3 for 30 minutes and crash or vice versa.

Install latest WHQL. Remove current drivers using my Uninstall guide.
If this fails, install latest Beta. Again, remove current drivers using my guide.

No luck, did remove all Nvidia traces before installing both drivers. Only difference is that VLC doesn't shut down when the driver crashes. 301.34, 301.42, 304.48, 304.79 are all not working.

I think have the exact same card, the Gigabyte GTX 670 OC edition right? I was having a lot of driver issues, so for mine i used 302.71 (laptop driver) with a modified .inf file. Since then i have no issues with the card. everything you need is right here:

http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/29520-v30271-windows-8-64bit-toshiba-mobile/

Just download the driver, extract it, pull up the display.driver folder then select nvtd.inf file from the folder and then copy the modified inf over it.
This worked for me.

I think I did it right, will see if it works, if it does you are an absolute lifesaver.
