I would like to piggy-back on this thread if possible. I am having an issue with my 850 G2, where my graphics card (MSI GTX970) will quit working or the NVIDIA graphics driver will crash, only when ECO mode is switched ON. When I switch ECO to OFF, the issue goes away (tested over spans of 1+ weeks). This occurs during either web-browsing or during a gaming session. I have benchmarked the graphics card and updated to the latest drivers to ensure the issue is not with the card itself.
Preliminary Google searches yielded insight that this issue could come from power-supply issues, mostly from it not supplying enough power to the GPU, which is why I tried switching ECO mode OFF to test this. I'm just curious if anyone else has heard of this before, or if there's something else I might be missing? The fan noise with ECO OFF is now the most audible component in my build. Thanks!
