GTX 760 keeps crashing

Hardware Hub GPU
1

Hi all,

I have a EVGA Geforce GTX 760 with ACX Cooling along with these parts if you are curious: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1AG6q

Now the problem is that every time I play the game Blacklist, it crashes. 

I have downloaded a program that tells me at what temperature the GPU is at when game crashes which was at 40 degrees Celsius.

I am reinstalling this game at the moment i am writing this.

If you have any question or anything i missed out on please comment down below!

Thanks for all your help in advance!

UPDATE: All of my games don't work. There was this one time where Blacklist crashed and it said "Hardware was removed"

what power supply do you have running the 760?

I have the parts listed in the link posted above.

oh im sorry i haven't noticed it 

5

does the GPU only crash when you play the game blacklist? or it also crashes on other games?

6

It also crashes on TF2 but that's after Blacklist crashes and im running TF2 at high settings

(I also forgot to mention that I run Blacklist on High Settings as well)

i checked the steam forums,and it seems you are not the only one experiencing crashes on Splinter Cell Blacklist,looks like its a problem with the game itself and not your GPU,btw have you tried running it on DX9 instead of DX11,if you are running it on DX11?

No, I have not, thanks for all your help! 

But I'm still scratching my head about TF2, the setting are:

Anti-aliasing-16xQ CSAA/Filtering Mode-Anisotropic 16x/HDR-Full/Detail-High/Motion Blur-Enabled/1920x1080/and everything else is on high.

yeah your pc is pretty much overkill for source engine games you shouldn't be having any problems with it.but from what i understand it crashes if you run blacklist first and then TF2,so try to run TF2 without running blacklist and see if it will crash

Nope, it still crashes after 5 minutes and I didn't play Blacklist.

You should check your ram it may be faulty http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57569731-285/test-your-ram-with-windows-memory-diagnostic-tool/

I only have one stick of Ram, if it was faulty i wouldn't be able to run this computer.

13

Fulty ram can boot a computer give it a test and see if it pulls any problems.

Simple check list is all you need.

Reset your overclocks to default.

Run test on Ram, VRAM, and OS.

Reinstall your games.

Double check your inputs on hardware.

Id even call evga. They we're on the phone with me for 6 hours just to find out my wireless LAN card went bad.

15

The RAM isn't faulty. I used UberHacker's method.

16

Windows Memory Diagnostic tool? lol use memtest if you what to test ram windows tool for checking ram is rubbish.

17

I used your method too, and I still don't have faulty RAM.

I would go out and ask a friend to borrow a psu to test out. Thermaltake psus can be iffy and especially this one isnt 80+ certified. Its probably not giving the wattage that it needs to run those high-end games.
