Hi guys, i have the following specs:
Core i5 3570K 3.4 Ghz @ OC to 4.6 Ghz + Noctua NH-D14
asROCK Z77 PRO 4
GTX 980 G1 Gaming @ 1550/8000 with Gamestable BIOS
2x4 GB G-Skill DDR3 1600 Mhz
CX Corsair 600W PSU
SSD/HDD
Well... the games are:
Shadow of Mordor: my PC just freeze after a while, like 15 minutes after playing(i have the same problem with my old R9 290)
Far Cry 4: thats pretty random, one day i got the freeze after playing 7 hours and sometimes 5 min in game to get the my pc freeze, when i CTRL ALT DEL on the freeze, on my desktop i have the error: DEVICE REMOVED bla bla bla GTX 980 bla bla bla DXGI
Dragon Age Inquisition: pretty random too, exactly the same thing of Far Cry 4, freeze and device removed, etc...
Facts:
- I have a modified BIOS, the G1 Gigabyte Gamestable. The only game that i tested with the original Gigabyte BIOS was the Shadow of Mordor, and my game freeze exactly the same.
- I did a fresh Windows 8.1 install before install my GTX 980, did a fresh install of nVIDIA drivers twice(344.75 and 347.09) with DDU(Driver Sweeper/Driver Uninstaller, safe mode, clean registry, etc...)
- On every games my temperature are just fine, on GPU AND CPU.
- Other games like ARMA 3, Crysis 3, DayZ, apparently work well. But never played all that games for long time like Far Cry 4.
- Already tryed play with LESS overclock... 1530/7800, 1540/8000, and 1550/stock, nothing works. My Graphics card are with max voltage on MSI AFTERBURNER, prioritizing the temperature, no Link and temp target 91ºC(never get pass 71ºC playing). My CPU are OK too.
- Already start the games with EVERYTHING closed(especially MSI AFTERBURNER/Rivatunner), Windows updated, billions of DirectX versions i try to install, all the Microsoft C++ things, everything installed.
- Already stressed my Graphics Card on 1 hour or more on MSI AFTERBURNER GPU BURN test, max temp 83ºC(got some throttle, not much), saw some artifacts on Core 1550Mhz, on Core 1540Mhz not a single one). No CRASH, no Freeze, no black screen, nothing. The game that i use to stress my card is Crysis 3, didn't see any artifact playing on 1550/8000, only on Afterburner. But as i said, 1540 are ok, even on Afterburner.
- Already played Uningine Heaven Benchmark for like 3 hours or more no stop and nothing happens, everything went just fine.
- And the most curious, when i got that error on my card, ANY OTHER GAME THAT I PLAY i will get the same error BEFORE the game start, before MENU! it just gave me a black screen and the error shows up! i have to restart my PC to my games works again!
I'm running out of options here... is a GPU problem? should i RMA it? change my BIOS again?
