GTX580 Twin Frozr II OC : Display driver crashing in DX11

I have two GTX 580 Twin Frozr II OC in SLI. nvlddmkm.sys seems to crash and restart after about 10 -15 mins on gameplay on DX11 games (I have seen it happen in F.E.A.R. 3 and Crysis 2 DX11). I have not had any issues with other games (I haven't played any other DX11 games), and surprisingly, it hasn't occured on Heaven benchmark (DX11) either, for some reason.
Config:
Core i7 2600K @ 4.5Ghz (Vcore:1.35V | Mult: 45)
Corsair Dominator GT 8GB @ 1600Mhz, 2 DIMMS (1.6V, 9/9/9/24)
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe
Corsair HX 1000W
2 x GTX580 Twin Frozr II OC (not overclocked above the factory overclock)
300GB Intel 320 SSD
500GB WD Black Caviar
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Single Monitor
The BIOS for the cards is up-to-date, so are all drivers.
The voltage for both the cards was 1025mV. I upped the voltage to 1050mV (using Afterburner) and I haven't had any issues since (played Crysis 2 DX11 for a couple of hours). Could that have been the issue? If so, how do I permanently set the voltage to that value? And why am I having to do this in the first place?
Thanks!

Also, do you know how to flash a new BIOS with different default values? I rather not have to set Afterburner to autostartup...
- download NiBiTor v6.0 or above
- save your bios by GPU-Z
- open saved bios in NiBiTor and go to Tools/Fermi Voltage
- change voltages Setting 2 and 3:0 from 1,0250 to 1,0500
- change voltages Setting 2 and 3:1 from 1,0750 to 1,0880
- klick Apply
- save bios named gtx580.rom
- than you must flash this bios on the card, you need bootable usb disk - try GOOGLE
- if you have bootable usb and have copied right files for nvflash, restart pc, and get to boot from usb
- in DOS mode write these commands: nvflash --protectoff for unlock security before flashing and the second command is nvflash gtx580.rom (name of saved bios)
- watch in progress and at the succeed end, restart PC
- finally in windows, reinstall driver for card
Hope this manual was helpfully for you. Sorry for my english
Regards

  • GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II OC - Display driver has stopped responding & recovered

    I'm having a with a problem with my new MSI GTX 560 Ti twin frozr II/OC.  About once a day (sometimes more) my display either crashes and goes dark or the display fills up with small squares and then goes dark.  After about 10 seconds the display comes back and I get the error message: "Display driver stopped responding & has recovered.  Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version xxx.xx stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
    I am not much of a technical troubleshooter but is this a driver issue or a problem with the card itself?  Some forums out there are saying that I need to increase the GPU voltage, etc.  Being somewhat of a noob, I am looking for the easiest explanation/solution that even someone like me can handle...thanks.

  • GTX580 Twin Frozr II OC: Crashing while gaming

    I have a GTX 580 Twin Frozr II OC. My computer crash randomly while gaming. The screen turns black and the computer restarts.  It happens on different games. I have the latest bios on my motherboard and video card (70.10.17.00.01). I have also tried many different drivers. Currently I have the latest installed (320.49).
    I have tried decreasing the core clock from 800 to 772 and increasing the Core voltage from 1025, 1038 and 1050, as well as different combinations of those.
    Config:

    This is my bios http:// www .mediafire.com/?o6p4wf0prxa6tv5
    Thanks!

    The card came overclocked from factory. I decreased the clocks to the Nvidia default. The core clock to 772, Shader clock to 1544 and Memory clock to 2004. I also increased the core voltage to 1038.
    The idle temperature is 38 C and at full load it goes to 82 C maximum.
    Still, with all this, it still crashes now and then, but much less frequently.

  • Gtx580 twin frozr ii/oc problem

    ok, first of all here are my sys. specs
    asus sabertooth x58,
    core i7 950 box (default clocks),
    gtx580 twin frozr ii/oc, driver version is 295.51
    Corsair Dominator CM3X2G1600C8D 2x3gb
    corsair tx750w
    and ssd mushkin chronos 60gb (system disk)...
    win7 home premium edition x64
    and now my problem...
    my stock clocks for this card are 800/600 / 2048 with 1,38mV and with these clocks graphic card is very unstable... BF3 crashes, crysis 2 crashes... so ive played a little bit with clocks and found it stable when i dowclock memory at 1900, at least i thought its stable (it was "stable" for bf3, it would crash but not as often as before). but, recently ive started to play crysis 2 and after 15 min or so it would crash to desktop with "crysis2 is not responding" message.. so ive reset my clocks to the default ones but added more juice.. didnt help. so ive flashed new vbios. didnt help. note: bf3 is running well (for now)
    i dont know what to do? where is the problem? is it in the game itself or? i need someone to direct me as my pc knowledge is "low level"... thanks in advance

    Quote from: sknk666 on 28-February-12, 13:40:46
    yes, in afterburner ive tweaked clocks and it seems that that was the issue... since i didnt have any crashes. why is that, i dont know... i hope that you could tell me... seems like memory is quite unstable on this card.
    as i said, are there any drawbacks or impact on perfomance with these settings?
    Memory clocks isn't performance related,[the core clock it is] it will makes close to 0 difference in speed.
    Quote
    i dont mind my card is downclocked a bit i just want it stable... today il try to test it with 3dmark11 as i really dont have time to play games for a couple of hours just to see if it works... so, my question is, just to make sure : if it passes with no errors (3dmark11) is this then considered to be a stable clock?
    No, testing with 3dmark11 is not enough.
    You can add Unigine Heaven Benchmark, Furmark, OCCT GPU Stress test
    And real games.
    In short the time will shows

  • MSI 660 TI PE Display Driver crashes

    First, here is my system.
    i5-2500k Processor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072) (Processor is overclocked to 4.3ghz, temp on it never goes over 45-50°C though)
    MSI Geforce GTX 660TI PE Video card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696)
    Asus P8Z68-V Pro\Gen 3 Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131790)
    Corsair HX series HX650 Power Supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012)
    4x4GB of G.Skill Ram (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314)
    When my old MSI P67A-GD55 Motherboard bricked a month ago, instead of waiting on RMA I went ahead and got the Asus board, at the same time I went ahead and upgraded my old Asus GTX 560TI card to the MSI GTX 660TI card. Since the upgrade, I am constantly getting display driver crashes "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." when playing games. Guild Wars 2 and Starcraft 2 are the only ones I've had time to try, but both consistently give driver crashes after awhile (sometimes as soon as 15-20 mins, sometimes takes several hours of gameplay).
    Here is the list of things I've already tried:
    -First, I tried the most recent Nvidia drivers. Still crashes.
    -Second, I tried running driver sweeper, removing all old drivers and reinstalling. Still crashes.
    -Third, I tried disabling TDR in the Win7 registry. Still crashes.
    -Fourth, I really ramped up the auto fan speeds. So far it hasn't crashed while doing this, but I can't do it for too long because the fans get so loud that it annoys me greatly.
    -Fifth, I thought it might be an old Motherboard driver conflict of some sort, so I completely formated my OS hard drive and reinstalled Windows 7. Still getting crashes.
    -Sixth, I used driver sweeper again and rolled back to the last official MSI drivers (the ones from October). Still getting crashes.
    I really don't think the card is overheating. The most recent crash happened tonight after playing Starcraft 2 for about 20 minutes, and the temperature of the card never got over 60°C. That's why even with the extremely ramped up fan speeds I tried, I think if I used them long enough, the driver would still crash.
    The power supply is the same as what I used with the 560TI and it didn't have these issues. And from my understanding, the 560TI consumed more power than the 660TI.
    At this point, I'm at my wits end. The only thing else I know to try is swapping out the old 560TI in with the new motherboard or waiting for my old motherboard to come back from RMA and trying the 660TI in it. Though that means rebuilding the case, uninstalling the new mobo drivers and installing the old mobo drivers and authenticating Windows. Doing all of that is going to kill most of a day and I really only want to do that if I absolutely have to.
    I've had such limited time for troubleshooting the card, that I'm regrettably past the 30day limit on RMA replacements to Newegg. So unfortunately that means I'm looking at an RMA directly to MSI and that takes about a month. Before I do that, does anyone have any advice on something to try that might be the cuplrit or can help determine the culprit? I can't find any details in the Event Viewer as to what caused the driver crash. Just that it has stopped responding and has recovered. I wish it could tell me if there was a loss of power, or anything. Power Management Mode is set to prefer maximum performance btw.
    Btw, as a brief description of what happens. The screen goes black, and then comes back and the game is running very slowly. There will also usually be a popup above the taskbar saying that the driver had crashed. I keep the MSI Afterburner info window open in my second monitor and Power usage never goes over 80%, GPU Usage is usually around 95-99%. Core Clock and Memory clock drop to about 324mhz (which is what it idles at) temporarily during the crash. GPU Usage of course dips to very low levels while the driver is crashing, as well.
    Oh and in an added twist, I've run Kombuster several times. Burn-in test DirectX 11 1920x1600 8xMSAA as long as five hours, and the display driver has never crashed. I'll probably turn it on, and disable the computer's sleep and display off tonight and let it run for about 8-9 hours and see what happens. That's one thing that throws me off, if it's a hardware defect, wouldn't Kombuster cause it to crash?
    edit-Here is a screenshot of the Afterburner monitor during a crash while playing Starcraft 2. The huge dip in the bars that I have the cursor over is when the crash occured.

    Well with the Power% limited to 75%, I just had another crash in Starcraft 2. Temp was only at 56°C just before the crash.
    Here is a shot of the Afterburner Hardware Monitor when it crashed:
    Unfortunately I do not have another PC to test the card in. And I don't know anyone around here with a system that the card could work in.
    If I swapped out the 660TI with my old 560TI and I do not get any crashes, wouldn't that indicate it's the 660TI's fault and I'd need to RMA since the 560TI is a more power hungry card?

  • Intel display driver crashes on S1 Yoga running 64-bit Windows 8.1

    Whenever my machine comes out of suspend mode, the display driver crashes.  It goes to a black screen for about 8 seconds then I get the error "display driver intel hd graphics drivers for windows 8 (r) stopped responding and has successfully recovered".   The black screen is consistent but the error is occasional.  I also got the error when performing a right click on the desktop to enter the display properties. I am running the most current driver for my graphics card and the most current BIOS version.  After researching this problem online it appears that it is a known issue but the fixes I saw posted all included using an older driver from another manufacturer.  Is there a better fix from Lenovo out there?

    Hi @curtisa, @guigs2 and @rmcguigan,
    Thanks for your responses.
    I managed to get eWallet working correctly for 24 hours approx. by uninstalling Firefox, running CCleaner, deleting all Mozilla references on my system drive, scanned for virus using Win Defender, SuperAntiSpyware, and SpyHunter, (nothing reported) then again downloading and installing the current version of FF to "Program Files (x86)".
    However next morning, it had failed again.
    I checked the Windows event log and it shows an error with a Source of .NET Runtime. The application is eWallet.exe, Framework Version V4.0.30319, Exception Info SystemAccessViolationException.
    I'm not sure what that all means, and would welcome any further suggestions.
    Cheers

  • MSI GTX580 Twin Frozr 2, how to identify it?

    Hi,
    I need to verify if the graphic card that is in my computer is really MSI GTX580 Twin Frozr 2, and not GTX560 or GTX570 (to check if i wasn't cheated...). I cannot identify it from the others twin frozr 2 cards since it has same cooling system and no distinct markings anywhere on the card, or at least i dont know about them. Computer still isn't functional, but will be later on today. I didnt receive card in package, but already installed in miditower case.
    So plz i need fast answer, if there is any visual identification i can do, or software that i can use later today to see what graphic card it is.

    tell S/N of your card
    or just run VGA software like Afterburber:

  • GTX580 Twin Frozr II bsod..

    Hey guys. I have recently purchased an MSI GTX580 Twin Frozr II OC edition and I am encountering blue screens of death after playing battlefield and call of duty black ops.. The time period I get those bsod is not specific, in other words I may get one after 10 minutes or after 1 hour. To be honest, that's what worries me the most.
    I have updated the vbios to the latest one with 1.025v and 800/1600/2048 Mhz. Furthermore, the blue screens I am getting don't splash and go right away. Actually the bsod stays there untill I reset my pc and they say about newly added hardware and stuff. I uploaded the dump file for you so you can help me.. https://rapidshare.com/files/459837240/043011-7831-01.dmp

  • MSI GTX580 Twin Frozr II too hot?

    Hi
    Just purchased an MSI GTX580 Twin Frozr II (800 mhz clock). Noticed the temps seem rather higher than what I expected. With case open, Idle temps are around 42C but running (45C case closed) (ambient temp is about 18-19C) Witcher II the load temps were getting up to 88C (95C with case closed and fans at 85%). This was after about 15mins. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the load temps with case closed (95C) are getting rather close to the chips max 97C where it starts to down-clock. So, is my Card faulty?
    Steve

    Hi,
    Just a quick update. Did some experiments last night. Laid the computer on its side and held a 120mm fan directly over the video card. Idle temps went down to 36C from 42C. I then ran furmark at 1920 by 1200 res extreme burn-in. Temps never got higher than 81C. Do these temps seem normal or are they still higher than what they should be? The heat sink on the video card gets extremely hot to touch at load, so plenty of heat is being transfered. The case, by-the-way, is a Lian-Li V1000 plus which has the motherboard placed in an upside-down config, so that the video card is at the top and processor below. This it got me thinking that air is getting trapped at the top and the venting fan isn't strong enough to pull the hot air out quick enough.

  • GTX580 Twin Frozr ii oc

    Have been reading the comments from SVEt re GTX580 issues. I have been having the same crashes. BFE/Origin and Steam  ARMA. MSI Live update advises no updates are available for Video BIOS and reports my driver is  70.10.20.00.01.  I purchased and installed a new MSI twin frozr [[/oc for my sons computer.. Live update advises his Video BIOS as 70.10.49.00.03..  The only differences in systems are that I run two cards in SLI.. Disabling SLI made no difference to crashes on my computer yet my sons plays the game fine with no issues.. I read somwhere in a forum that the OC cards did have issues and that the latest BIOS adjusted the core voltage settings..  If I change my settings as per 1050 do you think this will fix my issue with crashes as advised to another member with similar problems or should I donate and buy the software for Video Bios update??

    Because based on your results, seems kombuster only used one of the cards while testing.
    Not all 3D applications supports SLI.
    I remember for kombuster there was a separated shortcut [multi gpu support] in some versions.
    Other possibility is that the wrong SLI mode is used for kombuster.
    you can try change SLI mode from Nv control panel to AFR2 and retest

  • GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II - Nvidia drivers keep crashing?

    Until recently I owned a GF8800 GT 512MB which worked like a charm. Never had a single problem with it. I bought the MSI GTX 560 Ti about a month ago. Ever since then I've had the nvidia drivers crash randomly every few hours. I though it might be a driver bug so I waited for an update, but since then I've updated the drivers twice (2 new stable releases and 1 beta), tried a "clean install" also and every version had the same problem. So it's obviously not a driver issue.
    When I say crash, I mean the screen goes blank, the monitor turns itself off for a few secs, and when it comes back on, I get a tray notification that the "Nvidia driver stopped working/crashed and has recovered" (something like that).
    I'd also like to point out that my PC really is 100% rock solid/stable and I have zero other problems besides this GPU issue.
    Is this a faulty GPU or is there a solution for this annoying problem?
    PC specs:
    CPU: i7 930
    MB: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
    RAM: 3x2GB DDR3 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 Corsair
    GPU: GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II 1GB DDR5
    HDD: Intel SSD 320 120GB, 2x320GB Seagate (Raid0), 1x500GB Seagate
    PSU: Corsair VX650W
    OS: Win7 x64 Ultimate
    EDIT: In case it helps, this has so far only happened during normal work in windows, never during gaming. So my guess would be a problem with the 2d software/hardware perhaps?
    EDIT2: Kombustor temps are: 35-40 idle, 75-77 on load (no user overclock ofc, only the factory one).

    Quote from: kokotron on 24-November-11, 14:34:48
    I recently bought the Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti SOC and I'm having similar problems too. So I guess Rasha here is correct when saying:
    But it's not as annoying as it sounds, because, at least for me, the driver might restart only one time during a desktop session and then it's stable for the whole time along. I have been playing Skyrim these days with no problems. I do suspect too that firefox - flash might be one of the causes of the problem. I might try the older drivers Rasha speaks off later today.
    There is definitely a problem with the 28x.xx and 290.36 beta drivers.  Please see link below:
    http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=215256
    I am having this 'TDR' problem as well and have been helping nVidia by testing some drivers.  Not really sure how long it will take to fix this but ManuelG (nVidia customer relations) did say the new WHQL driver has been delayed as they are trying to find a fix.

    cause my computer cost alot of money, anyways there must be some solution to the problem..? Everyone is saying MSI Afterburner will fix the problem
    for you i've tried that ALOT, i'm even running it right now, i've increased the volt, decreased clocks, i mean.. can someone tell me a good setting for the
    video card? Like seriously it's not stable..
    I've tried this....
    1. Use Afterburner [Just need a good stable setting maybe?]
    2.Reinstalled my computer.
    3.Updated drivers also i've tried to change to beta drivers.
    4.Picked older versions of nvidia drivers..
    Please help me? :(

    Also maybe change PCI-E cabel? that's connected to the graphic card?..
    I think the warrenty is off, i contacted MSI for a while ago they said i had it left and they were able to change it to a new one that's working but
    .. yeah, don't know what i should do! Some people that got their card replaced didn't help, they still have the problem..

    None the less let's concentrate on the vga. When does it show artifacts. Right when starting 3D, after some time or randomly? If possible add screenshots.
    It's very random when It's going to crash, i have 2 pictures showing how it could look, also just want to say that sometimes when My computer tries to reset The card, i can get a bluescreen.

  • Gtx570 twin frozr II/oc - blackscreen - driver not responding

    heya ^^
    since about a week i have a serious problem.
    when i am playing games (bf3, warcraft3 etc.) after some time, my screen gets black and sometimes gets normal again, sometimes the game crash, and even sometimes the whole pc crashes.
    i get the error message "Der Anzeigetreiber "nvlddmkm" reagiert nicht mehr und wurde wiederhergestellt."    means. it stopped responding and has been recovered
    i noticed this problem since i installed the drivers which were made for bf3 28x.xx, before that the system was running smooth for about half a year (april) last driver i used was 275.33 (was very stable)
    i've tried some stuff to get it fixed:
    -cleared the driver with driver sweeper
    -installed the older 275.33 driver
    -clocked the hardware down to a normal 570
