GTX 660 Problem, Help Please

1nSaNeAs1aN · Oct 6, 2013

Recently, I updated to the 331.40 drivers on my GTX 660 to play the BF4 Beta. After the loading screen my screen went black and the card's fan rev'ed up and was loud. It wouldn't let me do anything so I reset. After I reset a mass of white lines are on my screen all the way from bios to the actual windows desktop. I was able to downgrade back but problems with the white lines persist. See images. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Looks like an almost dead card unfortunately. Have you tried clearing CMOS?

How exactly do I clear the CMOS? Im using a ASRock 970 Extreme 4 motherboard currently.

EDIT: Cleared CMOS and problems still persist. Why Battlefield 4? Why? RIP my EVGA GTX 660

Because it stresses the card more than an average game, my 8800GTX died like that while playing OFP: Dragon Rising a few years back.
Try cleaning the cooler of dust and reseat the card in the slot like said above, if that dose not work try it on another system just to be shure, RMA it if you dont have warranty take it to a electronics specialist.
Or as a last resort you could try to cook it in the oven, it resurected the 8800GTX i was talikng about above it still works till this day :B
