This is not related to CPU its GPU, I have Nvidia Geforce GTX285.

Let me know if this works by commenting on here, so that the post is bumped and helps others aswell.

There seems to be a correllation between nvidia cards and i7 processors, so it still doesn’t hurt to post system specs

Seems to be working for me after underclocking as well. GTX295, i7 920, Win7 x64.

I’ve read other people saying underclocking their GPU by 10-20% solved the driver crashing issue.

I’m playing on a laptop and cannot underclock at all (limited by default frequency) so I could not test this myself.

Anyway, I think underclocking should be at most a temporary solution, until Anet or Nvidia get things fixed.

Edit: I was able to try the underclocking method using “Nvidia inspector”, and underclocking by 10% fixed it for me as well. Now, let’s hope this helps Anet people understand where the issue come from, so we can play without downgrading our own machines

Well, after having been able to play for a solid 6 hours without a crash with underclocking, I decided to try with both GPU’s activated (I’ve been playing on only one so far). Guess what, 2 minutes in the game, and boom, crash! So it is definately a problem with multiGPU as well. But at least I can play now, even if it feels like I’m on a computer from the 80’s.

Same issue here, only I can’t even get more than about 15-30 seconds in game. i7 920, GTX295, p6tdeluxe, 6GB ram, Win7 x64.

I’ve had this problem in other games as well, the most recent in my memory being LoL. In that case it worked by disabling multiGPU. In others it has worked to underclock the card below factory defaults. The weird thing is, I’ve only ever had it with games that are not especially demanding. For example, BF3, Skyrim and much more gfx heavy games run perfectly fine.

Probably should be noted that both the processor and gfx card have been overclocked and running 24/7 for almost 3 years now.

What processor do you have?
