    I worked out the settings bit myself to make the voltage appear :D
     
    I just wasn't sure what to change the numbers to as I couldn't find specific values for a default GTX 560. That's my card, minus the 2GB, my card is a 1GB version. 
     
    The voltage was on 1V maximum so I changed it to 1.12V (1112mV?). I just played Test Drive Unlimited 2 for just over an hour without having a crash after editing the voltage value. But I don't want to count my chickens just yet...

    Least the assumption that it was set to 1v was on the money, I wouldn't have pushed it as far as 1.12v (1120mV) maybe 1.075v (1075mV) to keep the stock clock speeds pushing it to 1.125v for some overclocking as the manufacturer voltage limit for that card looks to be 1.15v, it's saying something though as my AMD card idles at 0.95v and spikes up to 1.2v under load (max is 1.25v).
     
    Sounding better at least, fingers crossed :)

    I don't know why I said I changed it to 1.12V because I didn't haha. I changed the voltage to 1012mV. Was quite tired when I wrote this which I'm guessing is why I messed up the voltage numbers. I'm going to change my voltage to 1075 as you said Woodyblade and keep an eye on the temperatures. 
     
    By the way when I upped my voltage to 1012 (which I realise now was barely anything), the GPU only went up to 66degrees which is better than the 70-74 mark it usually goes up to.

    Hey there guys :fshsml:

    I wanted to make sure that increasing the voltage of my GPU did fix it completely before posting too early and getting my hopes up. I wanted to make sure I thoroughly tested the issue before updating you guys. But I can now say that increasing the voltage of the GPU has stopped the timeouts from happening. I'm so glad they have gone away :biggrin:
    I would just like to say thank you to everyone that tried to help me with the problem I was having (why is it always the last thing you try that works aha). Particular thanks go to Woodyblade :fshsml:. I know that in future I can definitely come back to these forums for great help!

    This thread can now be changed to solved.

    Thanks again guys!
