Bought the EVGA 980 Ti SC edition and have been getting Blue Screens while gaming from day one. I've been using it for 4 days. I have been trying to trouble shoot the system since.
I read the mini dump files and it's caused by driver ntoskrnl.exe. So then I enabled verifier and it still points to ntkrnlmp.exe. Bug Check 109.
I ran the Windows memory tool and it said no problems with the RAM. I then booted to Memtest86+ and no problems with RAM (3 passes ~3 hours).
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
I7 2600k 3.4Ghz (Auto-Clocked Performance by Motherboard to 4.4Ghz)
Asus P8P67 WS Revolution
8GB Corsair RAM
1200W Corsair PSU
Dell U3014
OCZ Vertex 2 SSD
Been running a Hardware monitor and all temps far below max (41C Processor Max, 77c 908Ti Max, 45C Mboard Max). CPU is under a waterblock.
Upgraded from ATI 6950 Crossfire where I did have 3 crashes the days before upgrading that were related to DirectX and over-heating (excess of 90c on GPU). AMD was removed with just the CCC uninstall, but verifier still lists their drivers as present. I have since down-clocked the system and considered running a driver sweeper, but the dump files have never pointed to that being the problem. System never Blue Screens unless playing a game.
Would I get a ntoskrnl.exe blue screen from an issue with the 980 Ti ram? Also, why does CPUID only say the card has 4GB instead of 6 and a 405Mhz Core and Shader clock? The System information in the Nvidia control panel is accurate at 6GB.
Thanks for any insight.
