Title says the main question..... I’ve had this card for maybe 5 years now and has never given me any problems. Today I was watching twitch on one monitor and playing wow on another. All of a sudden the screen froze and glitches out in weird pixles and then my computer restarted itself and I got a blue screen with the error 0x00000116.
This is basically everything I have done since then:
First thing was I restored windows from a previous date (yesterday), once that went to restart again it gave me the blue screen once again. So I tried restoring from another restore point but now windows is telling me that there are no restore points available? I’ve never had that issue before.
Next I restart once again and go into safe mode and uninstall the gpu driver, restart and windows boots up fine so I go to Nvidia’s site to get the latest driver (mine wasn’t current). I instal that and restart once again and receive another blue screen.
By now I’m losing hope, open my tower up and pull the gpu out and clean it and repeat the last step but get another blue screen.
I took the gpu from my wife’s computer and put that in and windows loaded fine, downloaded the drivers, restarted and windows loaded back to normal.
So what else could I try to get my 770 back to life?
Also my temps were normal
