Cool GTXWelcome to the EVGA ForumsRE: Cant update drivers Windows Driver Type "Standard" packages are those that do not require the DCH driver components. "DCH" (Declarative, Componentized, Hardware Support Apps) refers to new packages preinstalled by OEMS implementing the Microsoft Universal Driver paradigm. This ---> DCH drivers cannot be installed over a standard system, and Standard drivers cannot be installed over a DCH system. To confirm the type of system you have, locate Driver Type under the System Information menu in the NVIDIA Control Panel. For more information, visit List your Hardware Does your CPU/ MB have an iGPU (part of CPU) - if So turn it On in the MB BIOS & connect your monitor to that Port on your MB 1) OS ? 2) Fans turning ? 3) Open your Case4) Run GPU-Z You May have to have the card "serviced" -- the TIM may need to be replaced
SkyIineI wish I could tell you but it doesn’t last long enough for me to check the temperatures anymore before it shuts off. If I try to start the pc up right after it crashes the graphics card fans will make a rattling noise.

With a slow hard drive, that process should take a minute maximum. It sounds like you have bigger problems. I wouldn't assume that the GPU is overheating without any evidence of such. It's more likely that whatever is causing your computer to take 4.5 minutes to boot is also the cause of it crashing.

Have you done any malware/antivirus scans? ccleaner? Registry cleaning? if you have a HDD,not a SSD, have you cleaned and defragged it? Theres no way in the world a idle gpu, or cpu even, could overheat doing nothing unless the sinks were totally clogged and the fans werent spinning and even then it would take more than 5 mins.

SajinIf you decide to bake the card make sure you bake it in an oven you don't use for food.
joeymirOr better yet! Bake it in someone else's oven I baked a few cards back in the day when I lived with Mom. It really does leave a metallic like smell/odor for about a week or so. So this close to Thanks Giving, you might not use a primary oven. I'd borrow someones Toaster Oven like Sajin said, the heat distribution is a little more direct in toaster ovens as well. edit: I meant to ask, have you tried putting your card into another system and installing drivers? Just to isolate the issue directly to the GPU?
