    Start > Type into start search bar: Event Logs

    Check: Windows Logs > System

    Or if on 8.1, just right click the start button and choose Event Viewer

    GPU overclocked at all?

    Disable all GPU monitoring / OCing software

    Use DDU

    Leave it running at stock clocks and see if it still crashes

    Hey Gunnza, I had this same issue with my cards a few weeks back. Checked my system stats and had the same issue. I uninstalled the old driver, cleared out all the old files and keys related to Nvidia. Installed the new driver and haven't had an issue since.

    You mentioned that your using the ASUS software and/or MSI afterburner program. Do you use these at the same time? Usually when I use programs like that I use one or the other. I had an issue once before where they were both kicking in and trying to OC the cards at the same time. Might want to uninstall the one you like least and see if that helps!

    GL!

    Yes, you should not use GPU Tweak and Afterburner at the same time!
