The games I play, are World of Warships and World of Tanks, both from the same company. Since a few patches ago the games would crash, as in solid color screen. The error I get is Display driver Nvidia stopped responding and has successfully recovered. I use two monitors and it usually locks both up and then I have to reboot, restart the game.
My computer build is old, 2013, so I figure my graphics card is struggling to handle the game now too. My build is, MB Asrock Z&& Extreme 4, CPU IntelcoreI5-3570K, 3.4ghz, GPU EVGA NVIDIA Geforce GTX 670, SSD 500, windows 7.
I sent in a ticket to the WOW game and they gave me 4 possible reasons for the crash. 1) Corrupted, outdated or unsuitable graphics drivers. They suggested I reinstall the latest drivers and perform a clean install, which iI did, still crashes. 2) GPU overclocking or overheating. I don't overclock anything, I have not too long ago, blew out my computer case and all components, including taking the cover off the GPU and cleaned the fans, and cooling internals.
3) Graphics card or power supply hardware malfunction. I blew my power sully out also. 4) Damaged disk drive sector which contains graphics driver files.
So there's what I have for info. I have taken care of item 1, my GPU is not overheating according to my MB startup screen temps, With an SSD I don't believe I have a problem with my graphics card files. So my thought is GPU problem.
So I have a new graphics card coming from NewEgg, Gigabite Geforce GTX 950 2GIG DDR5 PCIe 3.0.
