Hello,
I just received my repaired GeForce GTX 560Ti OC, which I send in via Mindfactory.de to Gigabyte more then 4 weeks ago. I cleaned up all driver-remainings on my system (used an older nVidia graphic card for this). Then i exchanged my cards. So far so good...
After installing the new BIOS (which wasn't installed by Gigabyte), i installed the latest certified nVidia-drivers. When I restarted my system, it took a few moments, then major problems began (All on Desktop, not while running graphic-intense programs).
The "classic" error appears to happen more often then before (sometimes only milliseconds between the Blackscreens)
#1: Event-ID 4101 - nvlddmkm crash and reset
The other one didn't happend before and scared me alot!
#2: Event-ID 1001 - 0x00000116 (0xfffffa8005ff6010, 0xfffff8800f3e39c8, 0xffffffffc00000b5, 0x000000000000000a)
This causes my system to reboot.
So imagine my experience: Driver installed -> Blackscreens -> system crashes -> restart -> Blackscreens -> CRASH -> -> .....
So I restarted in Safe Mode. Drivers uninstalled (clean). Then restarted again and everything was fine again, except, that i cant use my drivers. My RAM is not corrupt, i checked that. I also installed 5 different nVidia-drivers: 266.44, 275.33, 285.38, 285.62, 285.79 (actual beta).
No driver helped, 275.33 was an instant BoD.
Before I send the card in, I experienced some issues with the card. Now it is so bad, that i can't work with my system.
