Diablo 3 and 660 TI random game lockups

Zeta · 08-26-12, 10:02 AM

I just got a evga 660 TI. Two things seem to keep happening.

1. The monitor will randomly temporarily lose the signal then come back. Windows 7 puts a notification in the system try that says the nvidia driver 305.68 has stopped responding or something to that effect.

2. Diablo 3 randomly locks and my computer is frozen. I will have a signal but I cannot ctrl-alt-delete or anything. Completely locked up and I have to re-boot. I am leaning toward blaming the video card because I was playing Diablo for months with the 460 and never had this problem even once.

Anyone else seeing similar behavior? Anything I can do from my end to fix? Or is this a case of a new card with new drivers and it needs to mature?

Card is on its way back for a replacement.

Has the new one arrived yet.

Yes. I got it yesterday and put it in. With work though I will not have time to get some real gaming time in until this weekend. So far everything is looking good though.
