Graphics Drivers Crash During Gaming

Kobathor

While playing games, my graphics card drivers will randomly crash.  The game will still be running, but the window will be invisible, and I have to kill the program with Task Manager.  There used to be an error notification that showed up when it happened, but now there is no such notification. The notification was: "Display driver stopped responding, and has recovered." No error codes or anything, no BSODs.

  • Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit (Newest updates, fresh copy)
  • MSI Z97S SLI Krait (Most recent BIOS from MSI's site)
  • Intel i7-4790k (Stock speeds)
  • Kingston HyperX FURY 2x8GB 1866Mhz
  • Sapphire R9 FURY Nitro
  • Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (Boot)
  • Toshiba 7200RPM 2TB HDD (Storage)
  • EVGA 650W G2

This issue has been happening for years, and since the cause could be so broad I've never been able to find a solution by Googling.  So, I've finally come here to ask.  I have reinstalled Windows multiple times, most recently yesterday, and the problem still persists.  When I reinstall, I fully format the boot disk.  It really messes up my CS:GO games, and it sucks to lose whatever BF1 server I was on. Doesn't happen on every game, I can't recall it happening on Minecraft.

 

Thanks for reading/helping :) please ask if you need more details.

Have You Tried DDU? (It Uninstalls All Display Drivers So You Can Have Completely Fresh Drivers, Quite Often Helps With Display Driver Issues)

 

I'm Assuming You Have But If Not Give It A Try.

Will do.  I have used DDU in the past, and I'll give it another try.

Bump - problem still persists :(

Again: fresh drivers (post-DDU uninstall), fresh Windows on a freshly formatted SSD.  Any idea how I could diagnose the issue?
