[solved]Please help, Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

[AlfredLei]

First of all sorry for my bad english, but I am in a very despair situation.

The problem is so many of my game just go black screen and this "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" show up

 

Please help me

 

 

Here is my PC:

My GPU driver: 344.75 (latest one)

win7 professional 64Bit

MB: MAXIMUS VI HERO

SLI GPU: Gigabyte GTX 780 TI

RAM: kingston 16GB Kit DDR3 2400MHz

PSU: ST2000 G

Screen: Acer G226HQL

 

Here is what I try but not work

1. Two different power supply

2. Try my GPU one at a time

3. Try use only one RAM

4. Reinstall my whole win7 system

5. Try miscosoft fix tool

6. Edit file in regedit- HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

7. Try using MSI afterburner to OC ( I only try turn up Core Clock to 200-300, I don't know too much about OC so I didn't dear to try others)

8. Try to use mix power sitting in both system setting and Nvidia graphics setting

9. I check it is not overheat using GPU-Z

 

I try almost everything I found on the internet but none of it work for me, is it problem of my hardware?? what else I can try?

it's so frustrating to play game and crash so frequently

 

sorry for my long post, but I thing I list out all the things I try

the biggest fear is that I get problem is my hardware

please help

Why did you OC, if you have an error?

[AlfredLei]

Because I found someone on the internet said it work

I am despair and I don't know anything that I can try

Turn down your overclock or even underclock. Also what temps are you getting

[AlfredLei]

one card around 62 in WOW mix setting

other one around 55

One card around 62 in WOW mix setting

Other one around 55

 

I will try underclock it, thanks for the tip

 

may I ask at which point I can say is the problem of my card itself??

Those temps seem fine. Underclocking should help (i had this problem way back on my 660ti that was the evga superclocked one, plus i overclocked it and then after like 3 months of totally being fine every like 30 minutes gaming it would crash so i OCed it less and it fixed it). Also if you want you can try it in a different system (your friend's, spare one, etc) then you can denounce it as broked and try to use the warrantee.

Did i set it up correctly?

Yesterday I underclock and played far cry 4 but it's still crashing

Later on I just kind of gave up and use middle setting to play...but I really expect better from my PC...

 

I don't have another PC that I can use to test :wacko:

But I did test one gpu at a time, both card have same problem,

No way that both my card have hardware problem right? what are the chances...

Hph yeah everyhting looks nice.... you can try lowering the mem clock also if you wanna.

Also yeah both cards shouldnt have the same problem.

Also have you tried downgrading to an older driver? New drivers can often make a stable system unstable.

Sorry I don't know too much about OC and DC

is it memory clock? what number should I low it?

 

 

yes, I try 337.88 which is the oldest one I found in Nvidia website and 344.75

344.75 still crash

but 337.88 make far cry 4 unplayable, all the tree become 2D, which is the funnest thing..

should I try some other version?

Hmph.... see if you can find even older drivers on the web. Also what happens when playing a different game?

No, I only try farcry, because I am playing this game at the time

when I see 2D trees... I uninstall it..

 

I am turning down 100Mhz on Memery clock, I will give you a report later.

Interesting.

I also wonder whether the mem clock will help.

Also it could be that far cry is being weird. What I suggest you do is run a stress tests and see how the graphics cards fate and see if the driver crashes because I have a suspicion that if it's just fc3. Anyways I wish you luck

Maybe underclock the Mem clock did the job, I turn it down 200Mhz and play farcry 4 in ultra for an hours no crash, first sign seems good

I will try some other game later

Thanks a lot

 

and I did try BurnInTest but I don't know my setting is right, I just set every thing to around 70% load and for 15m

Ok.

 sounds good. If the mem clock is too high the card might just poop out for a second leading to these driver crashes so thats good.

Hope it helped!

Okay and here I come with the following simple thing.

 

Try "Display Driver Uninstaller" delete everything. Then install the correct drivers again. Used to have a similar issue, this helped it for me. DDU won't leave any traces behind of your previous GPU drivers. My advice therefore is also to download the driver before you do this. So you won't have to mess a lot around with a low res.

WHAT~so delete it from windows won't do the job? I never imagine that, thanks

It's worth a shot, this was my last resort once. And it fixed it. Hope it works!

After a few days of testing, I thing turn down the Mem Clock solve the problem, thank so much for all of your help, this six months just the worst nightmare in my gaming

Although my afterburner just crash all the time, something about C++runtime, but I can just reopen it.

Alrighty mark as solved!

Hope you njoy the rig!

SAME PROBLEM except I haven't overclocked my GPU. are you using Windows 8.1? If you are, I will let you know when/if I have found a solution. 

[AlfredLei]

Nope, I am using win7, I solved my problem by underclock the mem clock using afterburner

Yeah I saw that. Not very pleased with the solution though. I could use every drop of performance out of mine though. After all, I am using a single GTX 660 not 2 780ti or whatever you are using. Srry if that sounds insulting/defensive, it isn't meant to be. Hopefully getting new computer parts in the next few days so we will see if that works.
