Hi,


I have an Nvidia GTX780 which started acting weird after last major update, started with getting some system crashes while in game then getting artefacts and crashes on the desktop too.


I was getting error code 43 which is when windows shuts down hardware even though I was still getting a picture... after trying a few things that's gone and the device is seen correctly.


Some games won't boot at all, some will boot and crash later and some just before gameplay, setting the power limit to 90% makes it stable in some games, also benchmarks work at expected performance/temps.


Also noticed under system information that I have installed 16gb of ram but only 8GB under "Total Physical Memory" same amount reported on Task Manager. The system didn't get any recent upgrades and ram was seen as it should before.


To note that everything works as expected under Linux though I can't test demanding games for lack of disk space.


So far I've tried:


Updating Drivers

Disabling/Enabling/Uninstalling card from Dev Manager

Flashing GPU rom

Repairing Windows from CMD (errors found and repaired)

Clean Registry

Checking HDDs


System doesn't seem to crash anymore but every other problem is still present, any input much appreciated!
