GTX 570 crashes to blank screen on any Direct X environment

Problem narrowed down. Issue was the motherboard. I was trying another graphics card and was getting similar issues in a less severe way. I think it must have been the PCI-E lanes on the EVGA motherboard... manifested more severe problems with the 570 card. Got a new motherboard and CPU...

GTX 570 crashes to blank screen on any Direct X environment

Just tried another PSU that I had.... it was a Seasonic 600watt modular PSU. Crashed to blank screen within 5 seconds of running the Demo in 3dMark 11. So potentially ruled out the power supply also.. So really what is left besides a fault video card and a motherboard? I tried two...

GTX 570 crashes to blank screen on any Direct X environment

Ok I tried that and it didn't solve the problem. (GPU Voltage +0.5v) I called EVGA - they transfered me to upper level support, he asked his manager, and they won't RMA a different card (ie. a stock 570). So I will try for the 3rd 570 HD.... In the mean time I am going to see about...

GTX 570 crashes to blank screen on any Direct X environment

I tried the older reference drivers (270.61) and it still didn't fix. In the EVGA ElEET Tuning Utility, which voltage setting do I need to change? There are options to the GPU Voltage, as well as VCore, VCore BOOST #1 and #2, and a few others but nothing specific for the +12 v rails.. Any...

GTX 570 crashes to blank screen on any Direct X environment

- I did a clean installation of older NVIDIA drivers (275.33) and ran 3DMark 11. It did run for slightly longer before crashing. -I used the EVGA Precision Utility to underclock the card by 20%. When I did this - I was actually able to make it all the way through 3DMark! Does this mean...

GTX 570 crashes to blank screen on any Direct X environment

After the 2nd RMA, I wish EVGA would refund me.. but that is unlikely. Otherwise I would be picking up a 6970.....

GTX 570 crashes to blank screen on any Direct X environment

I downloaded the latest NVIDIA drivers on a fresh Windows 7 install last night. The drivers are 285.62 WHQL (released on October 24th). I can't even watch 1080p video as I just discovered!

GTX 570 crashes to blank screen on any Direct X environment

I just tried running a 1080p video on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ou6_MkIvKOo?wmode=direct&hd=1) and as soon as it played, the video card crashed and my monitor went into standby mode. What does that mean with respect to the problem? Have we narrowed it down to the video card?

GTX 570 crashes to blank screen on any Direct X environment

Hi Everyone, A couple months ago I bought an EVGA Nvidia GTX 570 HD card. Whenever I run a game, the video card crashes and my monitor goes into standby mode (blank screen). I hear sound still, but I can't get back into Windows and need to reset the computer. I RMA'd the card, and the same...

Memory Errors and BSOD's on Cold Startup

Hi Everyone, Thanks for your posts and assistance throughout this very long and annoying process. The culprit was the RAM, in not one of the 2x2 packages of the GSkill DDR3-1333 CL8, but both packages. The problem was just occuring on cold boot. It cost me a bit of money in the end, but I...

Memory Errors and BSOD's on Cold Startup

Hello All, I recently bought a new Mobo/Cpu/Ram. When I installed Windows 7 everything was fine for a couple days of up time. When I had the computer off for a day, then turning it back on I was receiving BSOD 0x00000024 stop errors in addition to some other stops. I ran Memtest x84 v4.0...
