nvidia crash

[Acetoolguy]

I get a random video card stopped/ recovered error message only on FO 4. I have a gtx 970 with the latest drivers.

Any idea what I should look at?

Do you get it everytime you start/play it? Or only sometimes? At what exact moment does it happen? Did it work fine with older drivers ( if you played fo4 with older drivers) ?

[Acetoolguy]

It happens at random times, I might play for hours or only a few minuets. This is a 6 month old card and computer. If I only play an hour it might not stop, But I have a feeling if I play long enough iit will happen.

Thanks for taking an intrest.

rollback to version 361.43 this version never had any problem with the game, nvidia is know for shitty drivers, never get the latest 1's most are bugged like hell

also use DDU if you remove/install new/old drivers, manual is still the best way for replacing nvidia drivers

[Stuffyy]

I would recommend a clean driver installation in general before you try anything else. Uninstall the driver completely, download the version speedynl mentioned and test again. Most of the time this fixes it.

Check your temperatures, clean out the dust, make sure the fans are working and reseat the board - unplug the board completely from the socket, use a small brush to clean the socket. wipe the contacts on the board with a lint free cloth and a small amount (very small amount) alcohol. Then carefully plug the board back in and make sure it is seated all the way into the socket.

 

This would be a good time to clean any dust bunnies from the rest of the computer as well. :thumbsup:

thanks folks. I'm away for a few days, I'll try those ideas out and let you know how it goes.

 

I really thought I had an elite card, I parted out the system from New Egg and had a 12 year old nephew build it. His dads a pro and kept an eye on things but you have never seen a prouder kid when we fired it up for the first time.
