Usually after a boot and the pc idle without load, i get through precision xoc 253 mhz gpu clock (screen1) which is normal i think. After some time and some non graphic intensive apps running e.g. steam, chrome, even precision xoc i get an idle 607 (screen2) mhz gpu clock which stays permanently. This reverts back to 253 after restarting the pc. Looks like the video card utilizes more gpu power for nothing? Is that right to happen or do i need to alter any setting? Note that before upgrading the bios today i got 632 mhz - a bit higher -.

Hi, that is understood. My question though is if my values are correct and what makes the card to change the idle gpu load. And yes i experience some BSODs that have to do with the card according to crashdumps. I'd ask about this issue later because i'm not sure if it is relevant.

I experience the same with my 1080 FTW... after browsing the web, watching videos, etc the idle clock settles in at 632 mhz.

Ok then. I thought that it had something to do with my own pc as it is quite old. But looks like the clock is boosting ? somehow after running some apps. In my case it changed from 632 Mhz to 607 Mhz after the firmware update.

Mobo bios is uptodate from back to 2010 that latest version released.
PSU date of purchase is 6/2014

Your Bios date is really OLD, see if you have a Newer one to install
LiveKernelEvent is CPU and or Memory so you may need to review your CPU & MB.
Overclocking to high on the CPU and or Memory can cause LiveKernel Event Eerrors.
With an unstable CPU overclock can cause your GPU to also crash and more so if your are overclocking your GPU to high.
You can use BlueScreenViewer to open the dump file and read the Code.
Look under C:\WINDOWS\LiveKernelReports\WATCHDOG for the Dump Files.

Unfortunatelly Asustek has ended support for that motherboard long ago... So there are no more bios updates even i never had any problems before with a radeon installed. All my problems started after the gtx installation.
 
My i5 cpu isn't overclocked all bios settings are set to auto. There's TurboBoost Tech but i usually disable it. Ram settings also, it's underclocked to 1333 Mhz.
 
I post a screen of bluescreenviewer.

Hard to read but it looks like your base BSOD Code is 116
Sajin has your back now and he know best when it come to code 116.

Ok bcavnaugh. Thanks for every help! BTW code 116 refers to graphics card?

Yes that is correct, this I do know.
Without any codes my review was on Problem Event Name: LiveKernel Event above.

#1 Bad video driver, or corrupt video driver. Possible solution to #1: Do step #2 listed here.

Hi Sajin.
Start from here, wait a couple days and i'll return to post back.

#2 Defective video card, or unstable factory overclock on video card. Possible solution to #2: Do step #4.

#4 CPU unstable due to degradation. Fix: raise vcore to see if it helps bring the chip back to being stable again.

 
Just to buy some time, How to raise vcore?

Got it!
In bios (bios revision 1604 7/2010) under Ai Tweaker section -> Cpu Voltage Mode there are two options.
---
Offset (which is the default setting)
Offset Voltage [Auto] (pressing + or - changes to 0.00625 increment)
Offset Sign [+] (default that changes to - or +)
---
 
The other option is
 
---
Manual
Fixed Voltage [Auto] (pressing + or - changes to 0.00625 increment)
---
 
Voltage values are Min:0.85V and Max:1.70V
 
CPU-Z report Core Voltages from 0.928 to 1.0104.
So, what should i do to raise it properly without causing any damage?

Hi again. Today i got a new crash. I forgot to mention that most of those crashes occur when trying to wake the pc from sleep. Note that waking up after a very short time e.g. 1-2 mins, it's not crashing. This happens if i let it to sleep for more than an hour or so. Here's some details:

I have disable hybernation and hybrid sleep from Windows due to this problem.
Looks like all troubles started since Gtx 1060 SC installation. Never experienced such problems before. Also seems that i'll never manage to wake my pc normally again. Sajin, any ideas? Shall i proceed to BSOD 0x116 troubleshooting step #2?

Sajin
BSOD 0x116 causes:

#1 Bad video driver, or corrupt video driver. Possible solution to #1: Do step #2 listed here. Done didn't help.
#2 Defective video card, or unstable factory overclock on video card. Possible solution to #2: Do step #4. Done but reverted back to [auto] since not needed.
#3 Insufficient power to GPU, or defective PSU. Possible solution to #3: Try a different set of pci-e power cables to power you video card, or try a completely different psu. Not done. Can't replace the psu as it working. Done changed pci-e cable.

 
BSOD 0x1a & 0x1e causes:
 
#1 Faulty ram/cpu. Cpu stress test ran, windows memory diagnostic ran -> No errors reported.
#2 Ram frequency, timings & voltage not setup correctly. Fix: Set ram manually inside the bios. The frequency, timings & voltage set inside the BIOS should match the JEDEC stickers on the sides of your RAM modules...
 #3 Faulty northbridge/incorrectly set northbridge voltage.
#4 CPU unstable due to degradation. Fix: raise vcore to see if it helps bring the chip back to being stable again. Done.

 

I reformated and at the same time i disconnected a corsair analog to digital bridge adaptor from an internal usb that showed psu information as i thought that it was the cause. After the format i got a hardware error and after the first shut down i got a 116 crash again. Looks like an issue that i can't figure out how to face. Very annoying too. Do you think i should return back my gtx?

I'd suggest doing #2 again since it sounds like you didn't do extensive testing with the card underclocked. Did the hardware error log an error? If yes, what was the error? Yes, you should think about returning the card for another one since all your problems didn't start occurring until you started using the 1060.

Let me know if underclocking the card fully with afterburner gets rid of the 116 bsod.
