    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    Thanks. Maybe I'll try my luck with a Gigibyte and see what happens.

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    I won't have any issues returning the card. I bought it at MicroCenter in Mpls. MN and that place is awesome :) I'm just trying to figure out if it's a bug with my card and if I get another of the same type will I have the same issue.

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    Thanks all. No, still running Windows 7; I've been too afraid to upgrade to Windows 10. Is that recommended? Just to clarify, is this power instability bug inherent to all GTX 970s? Or if I swap this card for another one do I stand a decent chance of getting a card with no issues...

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    OK thanks. So it seems like this may be a fairly common issue for this card, but not necessarily an issue with every single card. Perhaps I should just swap it for another 970 and hope the next one does not have this issue?

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    OK, thank you. I'm not sophisticated enough with this hardware to jump right in and change a setting like that. Could you dumb it down just a little on how to do this? Would I do this through MSI AB? I do see a Force Constant Voltage setting there.Otherwise, I don't see a way to access the...

    ASUS P8P67 Deluxe (rev. 3.0) Looking for a Mod

    Hello, I bought a new Geforce GTX 970 and it crashes in all games. I've posted this in video cards and there looks to be some consensus that it's a power management issue between my board and motherboard. I've installed the newest firmware for my ASUS P8P67 Deluxe (rev. 3.0) motherboard...

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    How do I find a modded bios? I have an ASUS P8P67 Deluxe (rev. 3.0) motherboard. I just flashed it all the way up to the most recent firmware and it's still crashing.

    ASUS is telling me I need I PCI 3.0 and I only have PCI 2.0. Does that make any sense?

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    I've got MSI AB installed. I've looked around, but I can't find how to downclock. Please let me know, thanks.

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    It's not just Company Heroes, it's any game. CoH lasts about 5-10 minutes until crash, other, more intensive games crash faster. Taking Power Management off of Maximum didn't help either. :(

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    I tried DDU and then reinstall minimal components; driver and Physix only. It's an ASUS card and it is factory overclocked. It's strange that a Furmark stress test won't reveal the power issue, but this CoH game can't run for more than 5 minutes. I'm trying the power management suggestion...

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    Ugh. Well, I can run Furmark and stress the card out for 10 minutes and no crash. But if I play Company of Heroes for 5 minutes it crashes. If it is the power issue, are there any other solutions or do I need to return the card for something different? Perhaps different BIOS settings? Thanks.

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    Thank you. It's just a black-screen, no errors, then the computer reboots. My event log shows Event 41, Kernel-Power. I've tried playing 5 times and it looks like the same event for every crash. I am using the most current driver.

    New Geforce GTX 970 repeatedly crashing

    I just got rid of my Crossfire cards and installed a new GTX 970 and it cannot get through 5-10 minutes of Company of Heroes without crashing. - I have the most recent GPU drivers - Game is updated - Previous cards did not crash - Uninstalled and cleaned out old video drivers - Ran all...

    Need some help configuring my Bose Companion 5 computer speakers

    Thanks. None of the other trouble shooting steps Bose gave me worked. So now I'm convinced that yes, I need to use the audio output of the actual sound card and line that into the aux input on the pod. Since the sound card does all the processing, I'm not sure why I thought I'd get the 5.1...
