This is the second time this has happened lately and i'm at a lost to why, and this is at complete idle it just stays at 405 and won't drop until i restart my PC. Any ideas to a possible fix?

I guess this is quite a rare issue? seeing as no one has any ideas on the matter xD

VaLianTuS I guess this is quite a rare issue? seeing as no one has any ideas on the matter xD Not really just look around at some threads. Some people are having a similar issue like you with their 560s. Another is besides from people having down clocking issues some are having FPS issues as well. Also I would suggest you give us some more info like your specs of your PC and any other type of testing you have done so we can try to help you. Edit: Also check out this thread this guy is having his 560 down clock to 405mhz at times. One person on the thread refereed to it as a stuck clock gpu bug. http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=1650661

I've got a 560 SE and I'm experiencing the same issue, OC at 850 but once the screen saver or power saving feature kicks in, on resume it is down at 405 Mhz. Only fixed by rebooting so far.

Just wondering are you using MSI afterburner or EVGA Precision? Because it did something like that with my 560 when I used EVGA Precision. I switch to MSI afterburner and it never happened again. Idk what it is but I guess I got lucky with my 560.

I'm using evga, just updated to the beta drivers as per one of the post and it didn't solve it. I'll try the msi afterburner... and come back with the answer.

This is often caused by a application that does not "appear" to be a 3D app, but does in fact trigger the higher clock state.... Many programs will do this like messaging clients, widgets and even monitoring software that displays numbers in the task bar. Some of these programs will install themselves in the startup list and can trigger the clock states just by being loaded.... Close all such programs in the taskbar and check your startup list for items that may be causing the effect

I've noticed it either happens when i'm watching videos either via web browser or by player, it actually happened again and i don't know if it's related but Adobe Flash crashed(was watching videos and had multiple video tabs) and when i checked Precision X it was stuck at 405 lol I've also tried doing what you suggested closing all programs in the taskbar with the exception to essential processes with no luck, i even wrote down all the processes for comparison then rebooted but couldn't find a difference. I do notice it clocks up to 405 when i'm watching videos is that related? does it sometimes glitch and don't clock down after watching? Oh and is these something to worry about? not clocking down properly that is, will it damage my GPU? or does it just mean its constantly sucking-up unnecessary power until i rebooot? Thanks!

Ya I tried closing all programs in my taskbar along time ago too with no luck like you. Hey I had Adobe be weird with my 560. When i watched Youtube videos it sometimes freeze the video with some purple and pink stuff in the background of the video making a buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz noise. Some people claimed that the 560s had issues with the firefox browser(which I was using) when watching youtube videos. Also try MSI afterburner and see if you get the same luck as me.

well that purple and pink stuff and buzzzzz didnt happen to me, actually everything is normal! nothing out of the ordinary aside from Precision X showing my GPU clock stuck at 405 :D Come to think of it, all 3 occurrences happened with my viewing a videos in multiple tabs then suddenly closing my browser and/or playing a number of videos in a player in quick succession. is that related somehow?

No it showed not be related. I think you having multiple tabs should do anything with it. By the way this happened to me while I was at stock clocks using the 296.10 driver. Using the 300 series drivers causes my issue to occur a lot more often for some reason. But I have not tried any other driver after the 301.42. Just curious what web browser where you using? Like I said there have been a lot of claims with firefox.

Well like I said my issue happened more often with me when I used the 301.42 drivers. I have never experienced any of these problems in internet explore with video crashes and freezing. But as goes for your down clock issue, try a clean install from your OS if you have not already. This can help besides disabling any programs as mentioned earlier(which failed for me and you). Also like I said try MSI afterburner dude. It worked out for me and it could probably do the same for you. Whats also weird is one a different thread some dudes 590 is down clocking as well. I guess this is getting very common.

Your Graphics card overclocked too high, I have overclocked my PC's with EVGA precision, MSI afterburner and Rivatuner only to have the same thing happen, Downclock a little more and do what you do daily and see if that fixes it, Your Graphics driver is crashing and recovering, does it say "Nvidia Display driver has stopped responding and recovered successfully?" Then you overclocked too far

When playing flash videos from in a browser, then closing the browser... Adobe flash will stay loaded into memory. Open a a Youtube vid and then close the browser... open task manager and see if Adobe flash closes out. If its staying loaded, then the clocks will remain high. Force close Adobe flash and you should see the clocks return to normal (if that was the issue) This problem is -worst- in Firefox due to poor coding, but it can also occur in IE and Chrome. *Note: users who view -ALOT- of flash videos from many sources, would be well advised to check and make sure they have not become a p2p Flash peer (this can happen without any input from a user) 20-30% of users fall into this because of what and how they view flash. You can check and see what your Adobe flash component status is by going here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager09.html The important settings to clear are the p2P section and the Storage section *Important: even if you disable these, they can be turned back on by websites, so you should save the Adobe Manager link so you can check your flash status often (I check 2-3 times per week)

I cannot confirm that. I use currently Firefox 14.0.1 and the latest Flash Player plugin (11.3.300.265) and after I watched the video and it gets stopped (browser still open, youtube tab still open, video stopped), the clocks properly go down to 50MHz on both cards in SLI. I checked the peer assisted option in Flash player settings and it's et to "Ask Me" on all websites listed. actually I never had a problem with it and I watch video on youtube quite often... I think OP's problem is the driver. are you by any chance running the latest WHQL 301.42 or latest beta? those caused me trouble with wrong clocks on 570 SLI, cards were often forgetting the applied overclock and reverting to stock (with upped voltage) and often the clocks were staying in 3D while normally they should have downclocked to 50MHz. I use 296.10 driver, runs best on my 570 SLI.

This happened to me on my 550ti it hasn't happened in a long time but i had my overclocked to high so i down clocked just a bit and hasn't happened but u said u didn't overclock so that's odd. i did however find a way instead of restarting my computer to get it to fix i would overclock it way to high so it would do a reset on its own and it would go back to how i bought it. considering you didn't overclock idk.

the drivers 301.42 had the issue it was corrected in the newer drivers (beta) install this 304.79: - Key Fixes
- Fixes an intermittent vsync stuttering issue with GeForce GTX 600-series GPUs.
- Fixes an issue where some manufacturer’s factory overclocked cards default to and run at lower clocks.
- Fixes a performance issue in Total War: Shogun 2 with the latest game patch.

If the clocks are remaining high, then you have something running, loaded or open that is triggering them to do so.

try using firefox instead of chrome. there is a few apps which force 3d clocks on my cards, e.g. up to date Google Chrome playing Pandora.com, in past older Skype versions caused it too.

Rather a new dilemma has re-risen, the "Nvidia Driver has crashes and successfully recovered" happened again(nooooooo) i'm at a complete lost, i thought i resolved the issue by reverting to a previous driver *sigh* time to contact support again or reformat Drive:C and re-install my OS and see if that helps lol Btw thanks for everything guys

recent flash player aws causing plugin crashes often, you need to upgrade to the latest one which is free of this problem. you may also want to clean the flash player stuff entirely first before installing the updated version though. try removing flash player first (uninstall both Flash Player Activex and mozilla plugins from Control Panel - Programs), then run this piece of software ( flash uninstaller) and finally go to: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player and delete all contents in those sub-folders. reboot. after reboot install the very latest plugins from adobe.com and you have just fixed it hope it helps!

Thank you i will try that but i got confused here %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player And i think i've isolated my problem, all occurrences have the same pattern, running a flash based application w/c in this case a facebook game SimCity while dota 2 is running in the background(tabbed out)

VaLianTuS Thank you i will try that but i got confused here %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player open "Computer" window (or open any folder) then copy & paste each line into the address/location bar at the top and press enter, it will take you where you need to be, those %xxx% are windows system environment variables, OS will understand where to go.

Ok i did everything you wrote, step-by-step to no avail! After 3 attempts i can't properly uninstall Flash player, its getting frustrating!! i deleted all the contents in those locations restarted only to find them back where they were. I'm no computer wiz so this is also getting me confused lol, i think i'l just do a complete reformat of the System drive and get a clean installation of everything and since also files are in a different partition. EDIT: i forgot to mention the only actual programs that remained "removed" are the Flash Player ActiveX and Flash player plugin. will there be issues as these 2 are uninstalled? Thanks! :)
