Re: apex freeze

Okay,

Ive checked some of your event Errors online and it maybe power related.

So let try a few things out:

Press the Win key and type power plan, then click Change advanced power settings.

Now in the PCI Express section expand the little + box icon and do the same with Link State Power Management.

Click and set the setting to off.

Click apply and close the windows.

Are you running OC software like MSI afterburner or EVGA Percision ?

Can you turn off your PC, unplug it, open the case and check you have connected all the power connectors to your GPU?

A power connector needs to be pushed correctly or it may not give the right amount of Power your  GPU needs.

If your unsure send pictures of the inside of your case.

What is the exact model of your PSU and GPU?

(i know you said its EVGA but they have varing models with OC OCX etc.)

If you can post the product page thats great. 🙂

    I've opened my case, check the power connector on both the PSU side and the GPU side, they're both all the way in. And I just turned the Link State Power Management off, and I'm still experiencing crashes. And yes, I am currently running MSI afterburner, 144 mhz on the core and 500 mhz on the mem. with power limit set to 120%, did not touch core voltage. And for the PSU i'm currently using, it's a seasonic focus plus gold 850W 80+ gold power supply (Many people tell me it's way overkill). ANd the gpu is a Evga gtx 1070ti sc black edition acx 3.0, the product page for anything above a gtx 1070 has been taken down from evga, assuming Nvidia has stop producing 10 series card.

    Okay try this OC:

    GPU= 0

    Mem= 500mhz

    Voltage= max (if your comfortable with the thermals)

    Power= Max

    Then try the game.

    10 series GPU's can dynamically OC if enough power is supplied to them.

    I have a GTX 1080Ti that was unstable even at the most minor OC, since reverting back to stock and upping the power i got a higher and stable OC.

    and a reminder that all games stress GPU's in different ways and may crash when others do not. 🙂

    I think it's fixed, I turned down the OC on the core by 25 mhz and it seems to have fixed the problem, but I'll playsome more this weekend to make sure. Thanks alot

    Cool, if it does pop up again then tweak it down further.
