Gtx 780 sli crisis!

[DeadlyDisease]

So, I got my PC recently and whenever i start battlefield 3, i either crash or get a blue screen about 5-10 minutes into the game. D:
Any help would be appreciated!

Don't say "OH MEH GAWD DATS OVERKILL!"

?

Does it happen only with BF 3?

 

[DeadlyDisease]

Well, i haven't tried any other games, but it happens with battlefield. I'll try Need For Speed Most Wanted. Might take time to download.

If it happens with other games I would suggest removing one GPU at a time and testing them if you feel comfortable doing so.

Well when playing Battlefield, i had 2 blue screen since yesterday. It came up with these.

The temperature seems normal. If it only happens with BF3 try rolling back on drivers and/or reinstalling BF 3

 

[DeadlyDisease]

How do i obtain older drivers. I tried doing that before starting this thread but can't find them.

What drivers are you using? They should be available on the NVidia website.

 

[DeadlyDisease]

I'm using the 320.49 drivers (latest) from GeForce Experience.
When i search for the drivers it only gives me the latest one on the site unless i'm missing something.

Try beta drivers
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/download/find.aspx
but I'd suggest reinstalling/checking the integrity of game cache first.

 

[DeadlyDisease]

Ok, i'll see how it goes.

failing everything that has been said maybe uninstall and reinstall bf3-- anything is worth a shot - I have sli 780s and bf3 runs perfect on my system.

 

[DeadlyDisease]

Started doing that an hour ago just incase it was.

EDIT: Just installed the game!

 

[DeadlyDisease]

still crashing, after doing a complete re-install, updated beta drivers.
Is it to do with an overclocked processor?

If it is just with BF3 probably not, you could try to disable the overclocked on your cpu and see how it goes

 

[DeadlyDisease]

how do i do that exactly?
Do i go into the BIOS?

i'd suggest giving pcs a call.

But it would be wise to test another game first, to see if it is a just a random issue with bf3 (i presume its not) if it happens in other games then something somewhere must be going wrong.

It's just Battlefield 3, tested Garry's mod and Need For Speed Most Wanted.

I don't think is the overclocked cpu, if you don't know how to disable it I suggest not messing with the settings.
