Hi from Spain! im new in this forum and im not very expert with the hardware. My problem is this: my pc crashes randomly, the screen stays frozen. I have downloaded the last drivers for this graphic card, also the last drivers for the motherboard gigabyte p35t-dq6, but nothing. Can anyone help me please?? i dont know what to do!
Thank you very much!

Serherr,
Could you give more detail beyond your board and card? That is your system’s specs. – similar to my signature below. Chances are someone at this forum has run across a similar problem and this information makes it easier to diagnose the problem.

As with all DDR3 boards make sure you are manually locking in your main timings and the memory voltage to what the manufacturer suggests. If the problem continues than increase the timings to be sure it is stable. I would start by uninstalling the display drivers, using driver cleaner pro, and reinstalling the display drivers in safe mode.

Hello! this pc is new like it comes, not overclocked. The bios is in "safe mode" and i have uninstalled and reinstall the drivers, but always the same. It works ok but suddenly it is frozen. Any idea?
Thank you very much.

sounds like another identical issue, try installing nTune and setting your clock rates 20 lower on the core and up to 50-100 lower on the memory and see if it stops the lock-ups. Also set the fanspeed from automatic to manual 100%.

Hello!thank you very much for your help. Finally i have found the solution. The problem was the windows firewall. Its something strange but with the firewall working the windows freezes. Ill try to look for a reason but now the problem is over. Thank you very much!
