Hi guys! I have a problem that Edge 88 and Excel flicker when I resize them. Steps to reproduce on my PC (which may not -and probably won't- happen on yours): Just open Edge or Excel, not full screen, grab any edge of the window, attempt to resize. I'll try to upload a video of this, I just hope my phone can capture the flickering. VIDEOS: This is a video of how it should look (taken from my work PC, same screen! over HDMI): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nI2_QAO_NvhzY0JULQgVenA-SP8FGjdQ/view?usp=sharing This is a video of how it is on my personal PC, over DisplayPort: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nBdo0L8XYLYcFDeqVmh0YQnlQr0o2f6J/view?usp=sharing Apps I noticed this so far: Edge, Brave, Excel. Games and video playback work like a charm, so far. What I tried so far: - Enabled FreeSync on the screen (didn't work) - That solution I found somewhere about enabling/disabling "Automatically pick an accent color from my background" (didn't work, neither enabled nor disabled) - Disabling Hardware Acceleration in Edge(works!, but no Hardware Acceleration in Edge... also it doesn't fix the Excel issue) - Enable HDR (works! but I don't like the way it looks, it hurts my eyes somehow) - Try with HDMI (works! but I want to use DisplayPort because of FreeSync, and also, because there will be more screens in the future, and this graphics card has three DP and only one HDMI) It's probably worth mentioning that when I open Youtube and fire up any demanding video (1080p or 4K) the problem seems to be temporarily fixed across the board, which makes me think it could be some sort of problem with the GPU not fully kicking in unless there's reasonable demand? I don't know. It's good to also mention that built this PC last Sunday, so less than a week ago. Also, the Nvidia video driver is the latest, I updated it through GeForce Experience. Also, the DisplayPort cable I'm using is the one that came with the screen. Any help will be much appreciated.

Since upgrading to windows 11 a couple months ago I haven't been able to upgrade my drivers. Every time it would say error. Also as of lately my disk usage has been excessively high constantly despite having nothing running. I have tried updating, restarting, clearing temp files, disk checks, uninstalling unwanted apps, virus checks etc. and yet neither issue has been fixed.

So I just had a pretty big scare with my fairly new 3070; global artficacting (Windows itself) and games crashing on startup. So I quickly manually downloaded the newest driver as well as DDU, and went through the process of fully reinstalling the driver, and it worked - not getting any more artifacts or games crashing. I'm sorta weirded out as before this happened, I installed the newest nVidia driver which came out a few days ago and also did multiple cold boots (I shutdown my PC after the end of each day), and I didn't apply any overclocks. So I ultimately find it strange that the the display driver managed to just conk out, is there any explanation as to why? I'm just not trying to be joyful, as of course it could happen again and it could be a hardware issue after all.

Hello. Does anybody also have this problem with Gigabyte 2070 super Gaming OC 3x 8GB? On the nvidia 471.68 drivers (or other new drivers before that) it doesn't boost above 1605 MHz and refuses to apply OC (even when in fact I don't change the clocks just hit apply in afterburner or revert to defaults), then screen goes black and returns to normal again. I have found a driver that works and it's 466.11 but some drivers before that also have this problem, and that's the only relatively new stable driver that I have found. BTW, I have always cleaned with DDU before every driver reinstall so nothing is corrupted. Anyways here is a topic on nvidia forums adressing this exact issue and it's a year old: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-graphics-cards/5/385194/boost-clock-of-certain-rtx-2070-super-cards-will-b/?topicPage=6 (there is a temporary workaround listed there but it doesn't work)

I have recently built a new pc thanks to someone who claimed he knows stuff about hardware. The problem is - when I play doom eternal on 1440p (1080p is worse in terms of that) my cpu usage gets above 65-70% That causes small stuttering and lag spikes which are pretty pretty annoying, I don't have any kind of software runnign in the background, I have disabled the steam overlay, I have updated my bios, my gpu and cpu drivers to their latest versions, windows is updated too, my nvidia 3d settings are optimized for gaming, my windows settings are optimized for gaming. I have tried playing with g sync on and v sync on, the stuttering kinda disappears but the game becomes slower and quickswapping and basically everything that I could do faster before turning g sync on with it on is not possible so I play without it. So, do u think upgrading my cpu to 5900x could fix my issue or there is something wrong with the game? ps: temps are okay, both on the gpu and the cpu but the cpu usage is insaneee, do I need a nasa cpu to play doom eternal without stuttering I don't get it. my pc : cpu : amd ryzen 5 5600x (stock 3.7ghz, tried the turbo boost but it does not help so i play without it) gpu : gigabyte rtx 3080 vision oc ram : 2x8 kingston hyperx predator 3600mhz

Hello! I recently bought a pre-built PC back in January and never had any problems until recently. As the title reads my PC shuts down when playing specific games. It isn't due to overheating (I've kept HWMonitor up while playing games and haven't noticed any temps over 70 celsius) It also takes me to the "shutting down" windows screen, it doesn't instantly turn off like a crash or anything, nor do I get any blue screens. I noticed the game it does it constantly on is Call of Duty Black Ops 2 (I wanted to replay the campaign). After about 5 minutes of playing, it randomly does this. The problem I believe is the graphics drivers but I'm not sure why. I have tried DDU and reinstalling the drivers. The shut down does not happen after a fresh install of the drivers or sometimes I hit the reinstall driver option on Nvidia GeForce Experience and do not experience any shut downs after reinstalling the drivers. However, if I turn my PC off or restart it, the problem continues when I come back on for another session. I tried looking online but couldn't find a solution. I don't think it's my PSU but I haven't completely ruled that out. Would really appreciate the help. Thank you!

Hello, it's my first time posting anything on forum like this, so if I'm doing something wrong - just remind me of it. I was playing Medieval 2 Total War which is an old game and it crashing isn't something odd, but when it crashed I've got Nvidia Driver error. I thought then that it's a good idea to update the driver. I then encountered an issue with Graphic Driver not installing. I tried troubleshooting it on my own, deleting previous drivers and using programs like DDU or Driver Sweeper, but it all didn't work. I also tried starting the PC with GPU disconnected and putting it again after next reboot. I tried to install 2 versions of drivers the latest one (445.87) and 442.74. I also tried to backup the system from a few days ago but it also appeared to have some issue with an error popping out. I have integrated GPU so I can do basic things but I would like to play some games during quarantine:P. My PC Specs: Gigabyte Windforce Gtx 970, I5 4690k, Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3, 32GB DDR3 Kingstone 1600MHz ram, FSP Hyper M 700w Power Supply, Operating System - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with SP 1. It was all working fine before I tried updating the driver. I also had both CPU and GPU overclocked but they were not a massive ones and the system was pretty stable.

Hi guys, So I had two driver folders on my PC located in something like c:program files/NVIDIA CORPORATION. (Can't access the PC at the moment) The folders were: 378.66 378.78 Today I saw that version 378.92 was released so wanted to grab it. Before doing so I read up about DDU (Direct driver unistaller) and thought I'd give it a shot from here: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html I run a second drive that houses my 'downloads' so it ended up on that drive. I first downloaded the new NVIDIA driver I then extracted the DDU zip, and ran the executable. The menu came up to remove the old drivers etc and I ran the suggested restart method (After creating a restore point). Seemed to go OK, although when restarting it was hanging on a black screen for a good minute or two. I then installed the new NVIDIA driver and thought I'd have a look to see if the old drivers really had gone, but low and behold the two folders (378.66/378.78) were still there alongside the new one I'd just installed! (378.92) What went wrong here? Is it because I ran the executable from my second drive rather than the C: drive? Confused as to why it didn't work.

I re-installed windows about 2 months ago with no issues with drivers in the past installations. Re-installing Windows is something I do to keep a fresh OS if you will. Well recently when I downloaded the 376.33 I've had nothing but issues for the past week. With this driver every single game will crash no matter what I do it will crash after a few seconds or as soon as it launches. So I just rolled back my drivers to 376.19 and the same issue was occurring there (which it never did in the first place). I was very confused so I did a complete uninstall and downloaded 375.70 which worked perfect for 90% of games. I mainly had problems with BF1 which would run fine but at random points just crash. It can be 10 min into the game or an hour and it will just crash. The same issue was happening with GTA V and it's starting to annoy me because I can't seem to figure out why this problem is occurring. I also tried every driver from July till December and for some reason that one driver is the only one I have had any luck with so far. i7-3770k @ 4.8 Ghz GTX 1080 Founders Editions x2 in sli 16Gb Ram @1600 Mhz Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

i recently bought a pc with i5 9400f n rtx 2070 i am trying to install nvidia drivers as all my games were lagging on a powerful gpu such as this when i tried to install the drivers it says windows not compatible whereas i have win 10 pro (version 1703) 64 bit installed n downloaded the drivers for the same need help doing the same

Hello everyone, I have had issues with Gears of War 4 and 5 now with my GTX 1080 hybrid Evga FTW card. I have done all the things others have done for Gears 4 with using different drivers every time I want to play the game. Everything seem ok when Gears 5 came out but recently all the old things that happen in Gears 4 is starting up again in Gears 5. I am getting blue screens, the game is freezing and crashes. The game is freezing and closing by itself and kicking me to Windows. I haven't found anything to help improve my game play in Gears 5 like a certain driver to use but it has just started doing this the past couple of months. All I am getting from calling into customer support is that I need to upgrade my card to a 20 series card but I don't have money just lying around to upgrade to a 2080? I mean my 1080 is doing very well in everything else but this game. Nvidia knows there is a problem for 10 series cards but there is no upgrade or rebate for 10 series owners. I just feel I got screwed buying my 1080 for this game, Gears 4 was given away free if you bought a 1070 or 1080 as advertisement ( https://www.theverge.com/2016/9/20/12986240/gears-of-war-4-free-nvidia-gtx-1070-gtx-1080 ). So I ask you guys what can I do? Thanks for looking at my post

Hi I recently built a Windows 10 desktop with Asus tuf x570 plus mobo, Ryzen 5 3600 and bought an Asus Phoenix GeForce GTX 1660 super for it but NVIDIA won't let me install drivers for it saying they either they can't run on my version of windows or it can't detect compatible hardware but GPU must be doing something as I get good picture on the screen! I am new to PC building and have looked at heaps of internet articles and videos and have tried a few but am worried I'll stuff something. I know this is an old problem and am hoping it is a simple fix I'm just not seeing any help would be great.

Hi folks, I recently upgraded my gaming rig with a GTX 1080ti from Aorus (Gigabyte), I previously had a EVGA 1080 SC and it was struggling with Project Cars 2 and Fallout VR, and since there is no estimate as to when the next generation will come out and the prices are still soaring, I bit the hook on a good offer. Since I upgraded I'm having a lot of trouble, including: Once you turn on the computer the monitor will not detect any input (using DP) unless I hit the reset (restart) button, and then it boots normally. It is a minor inconvenience but it is not supposed to be like that, and never was. If the Aorus companion app (Graphics engine) is running on windows startup, when I start steam VR or even open a Chrome browser window, a black screen ensues and the PC is hanged for a while. Sometimes it comes back and sometimes not. I'm using the latest nvidia drivers 390.77 (installed clean after using DDU in safemode) and even reinstalled windows from scratch, and tried various Windows10 insider preview's releases (currently bulid 17074). Always the same behavior. Any ideas? My rig never had an issue when I had the EVGA card, and I have isolated most problems to be related to the Graphics Engine App... Thank you in advance for any ideas or suggestions. Matt.

Hi I buying a laptop over the christmas and i decided to buy a used one as they are cheaper for the specs they provide. I found an intriguing post on ebay about a msi gs70 stealth pro with a gtx 970m and i core i7. The problem is coming along when it says sometimes when it games it sometimes BSOD and says DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (nvlddmkm.sys) At first I thought this was because the poster said the cpu got hot under load but I looked it up and the laptop is known for running hot. Also the seller said the problems started when he upgraded to windows 10. He had pictures showing the 970m was fine itself and that the drivers were the problem. So should I buy it or look for another choice and if I buy it how would i fix it.

Hello all, I'm wondering if i should stay on the Dell recommended drivers for my Alienware 15 R2 or update to the latest one? Thanks

Whenever I play a game I have these weird crashes every once in a while where my monitors will shut down, and I am either forced to restart my computer using the power or reset switch however sometimes my system restarts itself. Other times I don't crash before I alt-tab or exit out of the game or benchmark, same symptoms, where my monitors shut down and give me a message "No video signal" Sometimes, I've had these weird colors on my screen for not more then half a second before they shut down, other times they go into black without notice. Usually when this happen, if there was an audio playing a game it will keep playing unless my system restarts itself. This is as far as I can remember been an issue since I updated my drivers to the latest version. I have read pages up and down on the internet and I have done everything I can to try and pinpoint a cause for this. Before I got a message in my event log saying nvlddm or whatever is called has stopped responding and has been restored. This is however not stated in my event logs anymore. I have not overclocked anything. Edit: Just tried to downclock my GPU and play a game. I crashed again, this time around as soon as I crashed my PC immidietly shut of like I was holding the reset switch, but didn't turn on my itself before a few secs. Stripes of black and other colors appeared on my monitor for not more then half a sec before I crashed. System I have done the following in no particular order: 1. Reinstalling GPU driver doing a clean install and using DDU. 2. Clean install of Windows. 3. Messed around with monitor hz in Nvidia controlpanel. 4. Tried earlier driver releases. 5. Messed about with fanspeed 6. Messed around with game settings. 7. To make sure I have restored my BIOS to factory setting, to make sure I haven't accidentally changed a value. 8. Ran both Furmark and Prime 95 to have my system draw as much power as its possibly can to see if its my PSU, Temps were withing reasonable range. And I didn't crash before exiting furmark, once that happened my PC restarted itself. 9. Clean intall of all games... Did a clean install of window, sooo duh... 10. I have checked to make sure my GPU is indeed properly in, even taken it out to look for visible damages. I am now out of options. I don't have any spare computer parts laying around so I can't really take out one and one component to check. The only thing I can think of is to try and RMA my GPU as I can't imagine its anything else. But this is my last cry for help before I do that. So please, any input is greatly appreciated. I have seen alot of post from people with this same problem out there, from the past to the present and probably in the future, but there is usually no solution and if there is, not a single one have worked for me so far. HELP! I NEED SOMEBODY! NOT JUST ANYBODY! https://www.dropbox.com/s/nudlo1enfgyzatm/SysnativeFileCollectionApp.zip?dl=0

Source: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/10/latest-nvidia-drivers-to-be-locked-behind-geforce-experience-app/ Apparently Nvidia is locking its "Latest" Drivers behind GeForce Experience? meaning Nvidia Wants consumers having latest drivers. Which probably isnt good because some drivers might be released as good but everyone gets it so its affecting all pc's with the card Like they said it probably wont be absurd for many people because most use Geforce experience in the first place

SPECS Intel Core i7 2600 (stock speeds/voltage, no OC) EVGA GTX 550ti SuperClocked (moderate OC over original one, stock voltage, stable for years) Don't know what current OC is 8GB Hynix Dual Channel Kit 1333Mhz, don't know timings Gigabyte Z68AP-D3, first revision and latest BIOS 1TB Hitachi Deskstar 7200rpm SATA 3 Seasonic 650w X series, 80 Plus Gold Windows 7 Professional 64bit My case is the CM Scout, I've read that some people have issues with the front panel shorting out USBs, I've also read that a guy with similar issues to me fixed it by replacing his case (not the same case as me) TEMPS CPU = mid 30 degrees Celsius on idle, load = high 60s, stock cooler VGA = about the same as CPU, don't know what it is right now as it has no drivers on Motherboard = 30 degrees Celsius Built on December, 2011, stable for the vast majoirty of the time, started acting up this year pretty badly A little bit of information that I don't think has anything to do with it: Last week after a LAN party, I took it back home and the computer would start but there would be no source on the monitor and the computer was stuck on a constant restart loop, repeating every minute or so. Taking my RAM out and then putting it back in (same spot) fixed the issue. Problem After the Windows 7 splash screen (animated Windows logo) my screen will turn black then my monitor will turn off as it has no source, this is only happening if I have the Nvidia drivers installed, if I don't have the drivers the computer will boot up perfectly. My graphics card or drivers was acting up many times before this, I'd say about 2 months ago the graphics drivers would constantly crash and then recover, especially when playing games (primarily EU4, Witcher 1, GTA 4, Planetside 2, WoW) or going into Firefox with hardware acceleration on or watching videos through Windows Media Player, watching videos though VLC was perfectly fine though. Somehow, defragging my system fixed this. Last week when playing the Witcher 2 the game crashed about 2 hours in and went back to the desktop, on the same day I loaded up EU4 and it crashed instantly when starting a game, It would crash as well albeit take longer when just looking at the country map. After this major problems started happening, just by browsing the web or watching videos, the graphics card/driver would crash then recover a bit than randomly my whole system would lock up and a loud static like sound would come out of my headphones. I restarted it back up, defragged the system and installed the latest Nvidia drivers than went to sleep. Next day I turned on my computer and it was artifacting pretty badly when just starting up (big black bar on login screen, eventually going away), then once again crash to desktop on EU4 and later hard computer lockup like before. Restarted and same thing kept on happening, then the current situation. Now when I don't have graphics card drivers on, the system is perfectly stable. I've tried multiple different drivers, same result. Reinstalling Windows didn't help with the graphics card as well. System restore also does not help, even restoring back to a relatively recent time when the computer was stable (only ones available) and had a different driver did not help. All the issues that are happening to the computer happened as far back as 2012, like the hard crash with buzzing and the constant driver crashes and recovery but it never stuck around. At this point I'm thinking the card is dead, but I don't have a another card to test it with. Any suggestions or should I just buy a new card? I know this issue has been happening to newer cards like the GTX 970 as well. Sorry if this is too much information, I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hi, I replaced a AMD 6850 for a Geforce GTX 750 ti in a friends computer that has a Sabertooth 990fx and I'm having this weird bug. After installing the drivers and rebooting, as soon as the windows logo goes away to log in into Windows the monitor stops getting a signal. (black screen) I know the computer is in Windows since I can hear the log in sound and see hard drive activity. In order for it to boot, I have to go in safe mode and remove the drivers and delete them so on the next boot it can run the "standard video drivers". I've tried many different driver versions and so many things that it would take quite a while to post all of it. One thing that worked was to install windows 7 on another hard drive in the same computer. The thing is, my friend would prefer not to format. Would anyone have any idea how to solve this problem? Thank you

sorry guys didn't see the other post about this please forgive me.

So I just built my PC and now I put in the driver disk that came with my ASUS DC2 GTX 780 and installed all the drivers and did the same with the newest drivers from the site. It asked me to reboot so I did and now I'm stuck at a black screen with my cursor. To get out, I have to enter safe mode and uninstall the drivers and restart in normal mode. In case it's important, I have a Maximus VI Hero and a 4670k.
