Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
i think it has to do with the TDR problem some people are currently having....myself included.
Basically your driver is timing out then recovering. This is happening most noticeably on nvidia chipsets with nvidia cards in win 7.
to be fair i didn't get it on my 680i and i only get it on my 780i when using sli. i would good that problem though and see if you get any answers to your issue.
