Crash with PhysX enabled on Nvidia card

Schleicher · Apr 16, 2014

I can't run GPU-Z when PhysX is enabled for my Nvidia card:

Code:

GPU-Z.0.7.8.exe caused an Unknown [0xC0000374] Exception at location 7789e753 in module ntdll.dll.

Registers:
eax=0623fc74 ebx=00000000 ecx=7fffffff edx=00000000 esi=05740000 edi=05741a28

If I change PhysX to CPU it works fine.
This is with Nvidia GTX660 and driver 337.50 on Win 7 64bit.
Older versions of GPU-Z don't work either

Have you reinstalled PhysX (or better yet, the whole nVidia driver)?

Same here with GTX 750 ti / 337.61
Although i get the first crash shortly after program counter zero.
Select "pass to application" in IDA to continue, after some hits GPU-Z will launch.

Code:

Same thing here with Titan Black. Started right after the last driver update (335.23)

MxPhenom 216 · Apr 28, 2014

Something to report to Nvidia then, unless GPUz needs to be updated. Sounds like an Nvidia issue more though if it started happening after one of THEIR driver updates.

Methinks you are correct.

Aha! It's the PhysX installation from CUDA 6.0 Developer's kit! Uninstall PhysX, download the WHL driver for the card, install, and the problem goes away.
