1080 SC crashing, fans maxing out. Is it the motherboard or CPU?
Hey Guys
I built a new system in April 2016 initially with a 980 TI. Worked fine, no errors until December when I switched to a 1080 SC. One to Four times a day I get the black screen and GPU fans maxing out crash that many of us are familiar with. Happens randomly. Playing games, watching video, or just surfing.
I get this error in this system event log:
Event ID 13 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found or
Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered
I've since tried a second 1080 SC and even a GTX 570 HD in the rig and the same thing happens. Card temps never exceed 50C, so they're not over heating. I just tested the last 1080 SC in another rig with no issues at all.
I'm thinking it's the motherboard or cpu.
I've checked PSU voltages, uninstalled and reinstalled GPU drivers, updated BIOS, switched PSU cables, tried the other pci e slot, checked RAM, and tried HDMI vs DP (still crashes.)
I'm at a loss as to what can be causing the crashes. Anyone with experience or ideas, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
My rig specs:
Windows 10 Build 1511
Intel 6700K
MSI Z170 M7
Corsair RM1000I
Corsair Vengence DDR4 32Gb
