Anyone else have a problem with this card? When I play Rainbow Six Vegas the game randomly crashes with no errors and brings me back to desktop. It's not overclocked and I don't think it's the PSU. I'm using a Corsair HX 620.
 
Latest drivers?
Reinstall the game.
Get the latest patch.
Make sure GPU and CPU are not Overheating.
Are you OC your CPU?
Latest DirectX9.0c?

Yep

Yeah but I hear the game is not being updated anymore.

63C underload.

Yeah it's OC to 3.0ghz but it's stable.

Latest DirectX9.0c?

Yup, June 2007 is the latest right?

Might just be the game. Oblivion runs fine.
 
I fresh installed windows twice and both times the game still crashed. At what gpu temp would a program crash?

If it is only that game having a problem, it may have an issue with the drivers/etc...I doubt it is the GPU overheating.

I think it's software related too. Hopefully it's a driver issue and not R6V because Ubisoft stopped supporting it.
 
It's the drivers more than likely. I've had to work out some problems with them since I got my 8600GTS. Which Forceware are you using and what OS?
