Hello everyone, I've been having an issue the past few nights with the latest drivers becoming unresponsive. The PC is brand new nothing is more than 2-3 weeks old.

MSi z97 Gaming 7 motherboard
MSi Twin Frozr OC GTX760
8 gigs corsair 2400MHZ ram
intel i7 4770k
2 crucial MU500 240 gig SSD's in raid-0
H110 Water cooler and Corsair 550D case.

Alright, so I was using windows 7 with nvidia's latest drivers. I believe they are 337.88 and everything was fine up until about 2 days ago, while during the day everything was fine, playing CS:go while on google hangouts. I tabbed out and the drivers became unresponsive. after they fixed themselves i went back into game, only for it to happen again, so i exited the game and rebooted, and when windows was loading, the drivers crashed again. so after a few reboots i was able to get back in for a few minutes only to crash again, decided to shut the computer off for the night and go to bed.

Next morning, everything came on fine, was able to play through out the day the same way, playing CS:go and on google hangouts. Until around 8pm where everything started crashing again. This time, i decided to install windows 8.1 to see if windows 7 was causing it, but the drivers crashed while installing them, only to reboot and have the drivers crash at windows start up again.

Yet again i turned the computer off till this morning and everything was fine again, I've stress tested the GPU with OCCT with no over heating issues, never went past 80c. I've also tried duplicating the problem, just getitng into cs:go and tabbing out and in over and over, but the drivers never crash until the night time. Oh yeah, i've also cleaned the drivers and put the latest beta drivers on to see if this helps.

But i was wondering if it may be a hardware problem seems how it was happening in both OS's with fresh drivers for each one?

Thanks a lot!

Kind of sounds like an unstable overclock. Maybe try underclocking your GPU a couple of notches. Seeing as you installed windows 8.1 and the error still happens, it leads me to think it is some sort of issue with the card. Also you should check your RAM, run a few rounds of Memtest and see if it is throwing any errors.

Just a couple things you can check. Update us if you figure anything out.

aside from the stock overclock i'm not overclocking it at all

Try backing that down. Wouldn't be the first stock oc gpu to not work entirely right.

Also, fire up Prime95 and config it to chew on 90% of your ram, and see if that crashes after a couple hours or overnight
 
yea kinda like was mentioned....sometimes stock overclock cards cant handle the clocks...it sucks to do it...but try down clocking it to stock 760 clocks for a few days...if if runs fine then you have to consider rma'ing the card:( ALL vendors have bad ones once in a while
