GTX 1060 Crash Problem??

[jdr37 4]

I have a frequent problem that I am beginning to think is caused by my MSI GTX 1060  6GB GPU.

My system (i5-6600K 3.5Ghz, 500GB Samsung SSD, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060, GB GPU) runs X Plane 11 very good EXCEPT that I often get a crash when going to Chase view mode. There is no .rpt file in in the Crash Report folder and no sure way to repeat  --  it is totally random. I know there are some issues with the 1060  such as the card will not reawaken my monitor from sleep and when I get the XP crash the card loses signal to the monitor and I have to restart the computer which leads me to believe the crash is GPU related.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Power cable, monitor cable, PCIe slot, borked card altogether...

 

My GTX1060 6GB works just fine.

Perhaps. But this begs the question : why is the selection of "chase view mode" the ONLY cause of crash I ever have????

Maybe a plugin? Maybe a bad driver installation?

Very unlikely a GPU issue.

Thanks Bjoern and Colonel X, it appears you were right on. Over the past few days the problem became worse so I took your suggestions, reset the power and data cables and removed/reset the GPU (which I suspect had a bad seating in the slot). Now all is back to smooth flying.

Thanks much.
