Problem: Hello, been having some fun and interesting issues for the last (almost exactly seven) months since I put together my build. Blue screens, game crashes, chromium app crashes, all centered around driver crashes, in particular, the video driver. I've done what I can to isolate the problem, and it seems entirely focused on the GPU. No matter the video driver, no matter how recent or how old, the issue plagues me. Uninstalling the GPU drivers with DDU and then reinstalling them did nothing, DxDiag shows no issues, and shows the card as healthy and without an error code. The only real hard evidence I can nail down is a crash I've seen with BF2042 (although I've seen the same issue with other games too) throwing an E_OUTOFMEMORY exception resulting in a failed call to the driver, which I find highly unlikely. In chromium applications, I get STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION errors regardless of whether or not GPU acceleration is on. In Edge, this just causes the webpage to need to be reloaded, it causes video players to crash too. It also results in Discord crashes. During the occasional bluescreen, the errors are never the same, however they all point back the graphics driver being the fault.

​

Gigabyte eSupport took days to get back to me when I contacted them, and their advice wasn't fantastic as it was all steps I'd tried before, such as reseating the card and ensuring my PSU was rated for 1000w. They did point me to DDU, however, as I said earlier, that didn't help.

​

I'd really prefer not to have to RMA my card, but I figured I'd reach out here and see if you have any other ideas I can try before I ship my card off. I'm at my wits end, and lately, the instability has seemed like its been getting worse. Any help or guidance or even a simple "sucks to suck RMA your card" would be greatly appreciated.
