Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

[Taz100420]

Well to cover the bases we will do a bios flash as a safety, I tend to find the ones that do work.

Don't mind the beta driver, was last one I tried before swapping cards.

Ok, I ran OCCT for over 2 hours with the 470 in nephews computer and never once crashed. His computer is i5 3470, 4gb ram, Corsair CX650, ASRockZ75 Pro3 mobo and Windows 10. So I'm no longer thinking it is the card. In my computer, crashed within 4 mins.

Now question I have is that could my processor be a bottleneck causing the driver to stop responding or is that far fetched? I also repasted the gpu and it keeps it about 5C cooler.

Kind of sounds far fetched, i would definitely give the cpu hsf a cleaning in that Ph2 rig, replace the thermal compound, inspect for burnt up parts on the mobo (yes pull the mobo out), remove cmos battery, spray the pci/pcie slots, ram even zif socket out with contact cleaner, shake it out let it dry.

Reinstall it, install fresh chipset drivers, maybe a mobo bios update.

Can you still take pictures of the white stickers on the back of the card?

I thought so myself but hey, doesn't hurt to ask lol But yes, all the stickers are still on the back. I have to pull it out of this computer and do it as they are on the corner of card closest to mobo. I'll get a pic and upload it. Ill also do as suggested doing a thorough cleaning.

Repasted the CPU and sprayed her down with air compressor. Only thing I do not have is electrical cleaner. I def. need to get some. Nothing looked burnt, scorched or damaged anywhere on mobo.

Ran OCCT and 3 mins in, crashed driver. In my nephews computer, 2 hours and no crash. Odd thing is that with the 550TI in my computer, it doesn't crash. This is a conundrum and I'm perplexed all to hell lol

I also looked around for a BIOS update for my mobo and am very confused here... First pic is CPUZ and HP BIOS page and second is of my actual mobo. PC is an HP P6000 per the sticker on bottom.

They know it's not on their end. All they do is tell you to check disk, reinstall drivers and all the other obvious fixes that do not work.

What do you mean by this, any chance you can post a picture of it .


Could all so try leaving the side panel off as it may be a temp issue and while your at it make sure the fans are spinning as they should be.

DId you quote me here? Found a picture, looks similar to this. Temps are fine I believe, also bought a power supply today. If I'll be able to swap it myself I will post again this evening.

EDIT: Forgot to ask(just want to learn). Can temps affect just one game? I mean it's freaking WoW. I can run newer games without problems.

 

[Mussels]

Would the timings being a lil different make it crash like this? 1 slot is Crucial and last 3 are Samsung

show the memory tab in CPU-Z as well to compare what they want, vs what they are running at


that said, it looks more like a heat or power issue since the GPU swap had the results it did

Ya know, I noticed something while running OCCT this last time. At 6 seconds, it crashed and was about 73C and this time it didn't say it stopped and recovered, it said settings were reset to default. Restarted OCCT and now temps are down to 68-69C consistently and has not crashed and is still running after 2000 seconds. We may be onto something here...

Your card is this model thank God the Sticker is there and the cooler matches.

Yes sir, only thing different is sticker on fan lol. I thought it was a refence card but them usually have a completely different cooler. I had OCCT running for almost 2 hours and no crashes. Fingers crossed that something finally is working

Hey I want you to do this on your card please

What do you need me to do?

Watch this video, I need you to try and upload your bios to the database by the way the video shows how to do it, you should see a prompt that says the bios is already in the database and to open a link, i need the link it provides.

Not a problem it may or may not fix the card but at least we will know that you have a stock bios on the card designed for it because there are times miners will adjust the memory timings on those cards and they are only good for mining but bad for gaming whereas stock timings are good for gaming but bad for mining.

Can you take a picture of the motherboard, there should be a model number on it.

Bios says 2010 for p6000 series

Different cooler but I found the Red Dragon V2 that is same cooler. Don't think it'd make a difference, right? BIOS version is the same though. Also played my game last night with NO crashes for over 8 hours!

Mobo has this on it

No v2 is different, your board would be labled v2 on the sticker.

Now the motherboard, that sticker indicates what ram was originally used, you should see white lettering called a silkscreen below the cpu heatsink in between the northbridge and first pci/pcie slot on the motherboard.

Take a wide view shot of the motherboard.

When you attempted to upload the vbios from the gpu using gpu-z did you receive a link like you did in the video?

 

[Taz100420]

Yes sir. Only link it gave me was the one I linked above.

Only thing I can see on the mobo is H-ALVORIX-RS880 UATX between cpu and ram slots. Nothing else below cpu or PCI-E slot. There's stickers but but nothing definitive. Seems to me that the mobo has been replaced.

Yeah it looks like that has happened, get HWINFO and lets look at that info.

This board and yours have same layout but it says N-Alvorix

Ok, will do. I have to update my OS so it can use it. Just pops up errors about the updates. It's a fresh install of 7 so I forgot to update the rest of the way XD

What it looks like, to me, is that the N is an earlier version while the H is a newer one. I def. can be wrong though lol.

 

[eidairaman1]

That motherboard specifically belongs to this, but there is no bios update for it.

It utilizes the 785G chipset

Ah ok, see, told ya I could be wrong

I think I may just do that. Better to be safer than sorry.

Yeah its just like board revisions with gigabyte, you cant expect a bios for a Rev5 board to work with a rev 1.1 and vice versa
