Hi..

Iam having serious issues with my card. And i think it might be software related.

I can run Diablo III @ max settings, with no problems.

But COD: Ghosts, BF3/BF4/Crysis3/Assasins Creed 4 are all giving me either DirectX Hung error or the game just crashes.

If i start the games again i can play maybe 10 minutes then it crashes the entire computer. sometimes i get BAD_POOL_HEADER error.

Hi BoneCrusher 🙂

Have you tried uninstalling drivers in safe mode with something like Driverfusion.....and then re-installing?

Also if you have AI suite or GPUTweak I'd get rid of those..

If you know your RAM is rock solid (maybe Memtest86+ just to be sure) maybe a clean install and latest driver would be best if that's easy enough for you.
