    you all know the infamous PSOD which is somewhat occasionally happenes when the core clock is elevated as the GPU usage increase! which explains why we were facing trouble when watching youtube!

    now the new drivers are out, any indication of PSOD?

    PSOD is a GPU issue where the screen turn to all-purple with artifacts and freezing, it was
    confirmed that the 296.41 drivers was the cause and only happens with GF104/GF114
    cores. as I said, usually happenes when the core clock is elevated!

    Maybe just bump up the voltage a little? I have only had that problem once. Once I played around with the voltage a little it was fine.

    Ah Baka had that problem with the 296 driver ._. Really rare though. Haven't had any of those in 301.42 though :)

    now I know what my old motherboard suffered from. How do I know that my new one won't have the same issue IDK, but as far as I remember it always had it.
