Over the past three weeks I have owned a GTX 670, GTX 670 FTW and a GTX 680. Let me start by saying the processing power of these cards is simply epic. Even the standard GTX 670 took on BF3 with Ultra settings like a champ. However, all three of these cards have been plagued with Red Screens of Death. 
 

 
After scowering every thread and suggestion I could, I was unable to find a fix for this particular problem.
From full formats to an enormous amount of tweaking, the result was constantly the same. Note that after a full format I was using all up-to-date drivers direct from each manufacturer's website. I installed only bare necessities and was still running into this issue. I don't run ANY bench marking or monitoring software (aida64, speed fan, etc.) And only installed my most played games, SC2, BF3, APB Reloaded (Steam), PS2 Beta and MWO. I also updated the Firmware update on the GTX 670 FTW that I was using.  Standard drivers, beta drivers, nothing makes much of a difference. 
 
I'm frustrated to say the least, I am aware that the problem is software related and is no fault of EVGA and as such I will continue to purchase EVGA products in the future, but for now I'm going back to my 6970.
 
EVGA, please help your loyal followers find a solution to this issue.

You might just have to suck it up like the rest of us. I've had many red screens blue screens and even green screens. No fixes that i have found. I have 2 gtx sc 4gb

I guess so. I was sure there'd be a fix somewhere, or that the cards I had were bad. Neither were the case. = (

 
What motherboard are you using, does it come with "monitoring utilities" and did you install them?
It appears that some monitoring programs may cause this issue (like the ones you listed) but MB software is often completely overlooked.

Asus P8P67.

I don't run ANY bench marking or monitoring software of any kind (aida64, speed fan, etc.)

 
So you did not install the Asus AI SUITE II software? That was what I was asking...   

Any solution?

Maybe it's caused by programs trying to access the video BIOS flash image but the register isn't there anymore on Kepler cards.:

Yes, i've read about that in some place... someone alreary tested this tutorial? 
 
Yesterday i have formatted the computer a few times, the problem is the video driver.. because the RSoD only starts after the install..

Yeah you should be using 304.79 Beta driver 

I'm using the 306.02... same problem.. i'll send to RMA this GPU..

How frequently do you experience it? I've received it once, but that was it.

We both have the 690, but I haven't experienced any red screen yet.  But I did experience a few brief black screen flashes while in Windows desktop, usually while browsing the internet, and when the screen comes back usually Aero would be off, and the GPUs would boost to full max with 120+% power usage and stay that way for a few minutes and then Aero would back on and the GPUs would go back to idle clocks.  No error message or anything as I checked event logs.

I got the rsod after loading powerstrip for the first time so that could have been why for me. After that all was well. Had to fix a 24hz issue[crysis/2] with my tv now its running @ 60hz and no rsod either so far =] 

Never had the red screen of death had my 680 since launch.

My PC recently would restart every time it hit welcome.screen in windows and flash red just before it restarted.....later found my gpu had poor contact to the heat sink and was overheating

Haha at what time does that happen? That sounds exactly like the random WEI update Windows does when it feels like making sure your score is up to date. The same thing happens to me every once in a while and I know for a fact it's due to WEI.

LOL, speaking of WEI.  I didn't bother running the WEI thing after I put in my card, so it's  grayed out for weeks.  But about two days ago, I noticed it updated itself to 7.8, but I did not run the tests.  So maybe it was doing that when I was browsing the other night.

It likes to do it in the wee hours of the night when it's least convenient for me. It's even caused my computer to hang because it thought it was a good idea to benchmark while I was playing a game. I wish there was a way to disable it; all it does is use up pointless resources.
