MSI GTX 670 completely freezes please help

Hi. I posted my problem on the nvidia forums and they suggested I RMA my graphics card and get it replaced... I thought I would post it here to see if anyone could help me...
This issue has started about a few days ago and it has been bugging me because I can't play any pc games for longer than about a minute. Anyway, so the problem is, after about 10 seconds of playing any pc game(I'm using the game minecraft as an example) my computer COMPLETELY freezes and blue squares appear. There is nothing I can do other than switch off the power. Even my mouse pointer freezes. I don't think it's an 'overheating' problem because I let it cool down for 24 hours and the problem persists.
I took a picture with my iphone to show
As you can see, the blue squares appear and EVERYTHING is frozen... Even if i'm not playing a game, sometimes on occasions my screen goes black and comes back and says "display driver has stopped responding and has successfully recovered". But the main issue is that I can't play games or even watch youtube videos for longer than 10 seconds...
I have a MSI GTX 670 and I have the 306.97 driver.
I have tried countless 'fixes' (for example, setting power management to prefer maximum performance in nvidia control panel) and others too..
Any replies will be GREATLY appreciated, thankyou

brand, model PSU?

I don't have another computer to test it in..
then you can RMA it and if the problem is not in the card the problem will persist.

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!

MSI GTX 670 Power Edition/OC max temperature?

I've had a MSI GTX 670 Power Edition/OC working great since October 2012, no problems even with the most demanding games.
But now the summer heat has come (it's 40°C in the shade) and I've been getting crashes (classic TDR, no video signal, windows reboots) when the temperature of the GPU gets to about 80°C. If I leave the case open, it never reaches that temperature and works great.
I can't find the temperature specs for this card, but the reference GTX 670 should run up to 97°C.
Is this normal? What is your maximum stable temperature?
P.S. I don't overclock, anything.
Thank you

Hi there,
the only think I could suggest is that ...
1st. do you have adequate cooling in your system..i.e. case fans etc,etc, and to ensure theres no obstruction to cooling fan on vga card, always an alternative is to install what they call an exhaust blower fan place that directly underneath your card and that will extract heat away, I had the same issue with my MSI 6570 card and as soon as I added an exhaust blower mine runs at 33oC and i'm pushing my card to the extreme and temp still stays the same... if that fail then your gpu cooling issnt running fast enough to supply adequate cool air...
I hope that will help you

Honestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Ok.. I see the app now in iTunes.
Best thing to do is email the developer of that app.
You can do that here > http://www.lymobilesoft.com/contact.html
Make sure and tell them exactly what the error says:
it gives me the error 'Your request could not be completed'.
Instead of using a third party app, you can download movies directly from the iTunes store.

MOVED: Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. MSI GTX 670 Power Edition

This topic has been moved to Graphics Cards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251843.0

Hey there,
Noticed that my BIOS drivers were outdated so i updated them (Z68A-GD65 G3, version: 25.8), after all the reboots i logged on my computer, started teamspeak, and while searching for the teamspeak room the driver problem happened again.
Anyway, my power supply is NOX Hummer 80 600W, model: HUM80600.
The problems started on September of this year i think? I've had this computer for almost 3 years now. I have the latest Nvidia drivers, and this still happens, i've tried downgrading, fresh installing, and nothing worked.
Graphics card: MSI GTX 670 Power Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 DirectX11, S/N: 602-V284-02SB1207063830.
I'll try it tommorow if possible.
Thank you for the attention.

MSI GTX 670 Twin Frozr

MSI GTX 670 Twin Frozr fan seems to make a fast clicking noise when not under load or cold. Have to start up something that's graphics intensive to get it to stop. This clicking noise starts a few seconds after dust off. Anything that I can do from here? Still under warranty.
Great card otherwise.

check if the VGA FANs are touching something

GOP / UEFI Vbios requests for MSI GTX 670 PE OC

I would like to requests a GOP / UEFI Vbios for my MSI GTX 670 PE OC graphics card.
My serial number is 602-V284-02SB1207061629
Current Vbios: http://sdrv.ms/1bL1Uwk
Thank you.

Ah, there is more than meets the eye to it.
I recently newly installed Windows 8.1, why didn't it auto install it to GPT? I'm not gonna do a reinstall right away to test if it's working.
btw: what about GPT and SSD trim? It thought that didn't get along well?
btw 2: Is this particular thing also related to the fact that I can't enable the "Windows 8 feature" in the bios and so also not "Secure Boot"? With it enabled the PC won't go to Windows and keeps hanging on some black/yellow letter UEFI screen...

Msi gtx 670 pe can not more overvoltage?

i want buy msi gtx 670pe, but in other forum users tell me gtx 670 pe can not more overvoltage is true?

Quote from: flobelix on 05-February-13, 03:44:56
Any reference card will get hot and be loud. A GTX670 PE has a way advanced cooling keeping it cool, quite silent and most importantly with low temps ensures it won't run in the power limit. Reference cards will run into the power limit quite quickly. PE cards will mostly never reach 100%. That ensures high and constant boost clocks. With some oc a GTX670 can perform as fast as a reference GTX680.
I ordered today msi gtx 670 pe oc, I saw that the card have two led blu. but some pepole do not turn on blu leds, this is defect?

Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Then flash the included file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash

MSI GTX 670 Nvidia driver stopping

I have started getting errors "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." This happens when playing World of Warcraft, and I have also been able to recreate it using the Heaven Benchmark.
I have taken these steps
1. Re-installed windows 8.1
2. Run windows memory tests
3. Installed current nvidia drivers
4. Reverted to previous nvidia driver
5. Run benchmarks, including Heaven which recreated the error
Did a lot of reasearch on the web, there are solutions from changing the registry time out to upping the voltage to the GPU, have been hesitant to do these, because first doesn't seem like i should have to up the time out, and second, not sure how to safely up the voltage.
There is some information about another BIOS for the GPU, saying something about fixing a MOBO compatibility issue. Should I be downloading this and if so how? Couldn't get live update 5 to show VGA BIOS, and live update 6 doesn't seem to run on my computer
I'm looking for any suggestions on how to fix this
Thanks

Thought I would do a summary so you dont have to read the whole post.
My MSI GTX 670 started getting the following error:
Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
This occurred when playing WOW and in the Heaven Benchmark.
Per your recommendations, I have done the following with no success
I uninstalled the display driver using DDU in safemode, and reinstalled the recommend driver.
I moved the board to another machine, the heaven benchmark had the same problem.
Put my GTX 560Ti in my main computer, no issues
RMAed the board
Received a returned board from MSI with a different serial number
Put it in my computer and had the same error using the Heaven Benchmark
provided the s/n and vbios of the new board
s/n 602-V284-030B1302117626
BIOS version
80.4.92.0.9
Ran Prime95 on my computer for 7 hours in blended mode and 12 hours in low FFT mode, no issues
Moved the new board to the other computer, problem occurred
Just trying to figure out what to do next
