I have bought Zotac GT 710. Purpose is to use two monitors I have. Ever since I switched to GT 710 from iGPU, I'm facing issues. I installed latest driver 378.49 the very first day itself. Tried google, and tried some fix but none works for me.
- BSOD
- Crashing (Display driver stopped responding and has recovered)
- Flickering (sometimes)
Tried playing a 4k video (I don't have 4k display), there is so much tearing. My iGPU played better. GPU memory clock, core clock hits 100% even when I launch windows media player. After crash & recover, I had to reload pages (esp. the ones running flash player), Firefox title bar won't be visible (menu bar too I think).
What I am running?
OS - Win 8.1
At least 5 tabs in Firefox, android emulator, windows media player, ms office and 2-3 work related software. Yes, all of these running at the same time. Yes, sometimes its slow/hangs for few seconds when I was using iGPU, but never crashed or BSOD.
With this load, my CPU hits 90% easily and memory usage stays above 80%. It's not unusual, it's the case before and it's the case now.
My system was booting quick, shutdown was even more quicker. But now, after installing GT 710 they are slow.
What did I notice when BSOD?
When system collecting info before restarting, it showed something lik this "video_tdr_failure nvlddmkm.sys for more info"
What have I tried till now?
- regedit fix (tdrdelay)
- set to max performance in nvidia control panel (3d settings)
- Power options (PCI express > link state power mgmt > off)
- Uninstalled using DDU (guru3D) and installed the one came with the GPU 359.21 (now I am not getting BSOD, it's been ~24hrs. But crashing didn't stop)
Today, started monitoring temperatures. CPU hits 88 degree Celsius (max) and GPU hits 55 degree Celsius (max). No, crashing didn't occur at peak temperature. Crashed twice after installing 359.21, I didn't notice what was the temp once, the other time it was in 60's (CPU) and 40's (GPU). Yes, CPU is too hot I have to clean and apply thermal paste. But with iGPU I am good even at this temperature. So I guess temp is not the cause for this issue.
What kinda solution I am looking?
This system is not intend for playing games. The ultimate purpose of buying GT710 is to get multi-monitor support, nothing else. I had been running Windows basic driver with iGPU, if there is an option to use two monitors with windows basic display driver, that would be good. But I don't know if that's possible.
What's the problem here? What should I do to fix this? (no I can't buy a new system) Is there any stable driver I can use with GT 710 without causing any trouble?
I really could use some help guys.
