GTX 1060 windforce 6gb - Dota 2 crashes at random
« on: November 29, 2016, 02:30:39 am »
Hi, can someone please help me with this issue?
I've built a gaming pc yesterday, it contains an i5 6500 and a gtx 1060 (gigabyte windforce), 8gb ram and windows 10 is running on a ssd.
Every other game that I've played does not have any kind of issues, ONLY DOTA 2.
I play/watch any mode, custom game, whatever, and after 5 min the game crashes to desktop with NO ERROR MESSAGES whatsoever.
List of things that I've tried:
Reinstall windows
Reinstall ALL the drivers
Verify game cache
Run as administrator
Run in 32/64
run -gl -vulkan -dx11
none of the above helps.
my gpu temperature is normal, it doesn't even reach 70C

If the other games runs well, maybe the problem is the game itself. Try to install DOTA's last update.

Ok so after further investigation, I have discovered that other games crash too, only it takes more time.
I thought the problem was my PSU, so i borrowed a Corsair 750M from a friend, but the problems persisted.

If you run Valley Benchmark 1.0 and Heaven Benchmark 4.0 , it will crash too ?
The crash is the nvidia driver that crashs ?

If you move the video card to the PCIEx8 slot , it works ok ?

My problem here (I still need "fix" it) , just not sure which part is faulty:
