Issue is with the LN2 bios, keep crashing have followed all the direction on the forum for the classified but still crashed driver and windows 7 & 8. any help would be great.
 
1293/1750 I think with voltage 1.21 to 1.275, im on water right now have not touch setting just trying to get it to run. It keep saying display driver failed tried newest on and one older driver.
 
Looks like card is crashing because you hit its max at given voltage/power limit. 1543MHz boost means that real boost is 1600+MHz and for that you need much higher voltage than stock BIOS can provide.
 
+1 to Woomack.
Get that thing on the XOC BIOS and get the Classy Tuner going.
 
That was on the OC bios, Have loaded XOC bios keep crashing every time I load drivers. Have tried the newest and one older driver, followed all the direction the forum for flashing. It took the flash no problem.

Are you rebooting after the flash? I know my card is different but I found that needed to be done to work correctly.
 
Yes every time, have to do safe mode after to remove drivers again. I think I got a LN2 dud card...

Have you tried putting the XOC BIOS on a switch position that isn't LN2? It may be that there's a bad BIOS chip in there.
 
Well I flash the OC bios with the LN2 bios still did not work, I did back up my bois first went to flash back from the LN2 2988 to the OC 3988 and it said the flash was not new enough. So I go get the most updated flash ad it will not detect the card I think IM hosed here. Not getting feed back from the kingpin forum. But I will keep working on it.
 
Yes I uninstalled all the drivers also did clean install of OS. I also tried yx and xx rom files with the flash he had on KPC site. I have seen a few people with the same issue. Just nned more help from the KPC site or maybe EVGA.
Did you disable the driver or have it uninstalled before you flashed the bios?

Also it looks like there are two different BIOS, have you tried both?
