Its only stopping responding and recovering and causing the running game/program to crash.

if you have any OC applied, reset it to defaults and see. If that doesnt help, then you my friend unfortunately have lost... the Silicon lottery in the worst kind of way

be sure to uninstall any previous drivers before installing new ones as well.

you mean as in a defective card?

I'd pull the card out, reseat it in the pci slot, reseat power connector. Completely uninstall driver and reinstall with the latest version. 

 

If it still doesn't work please provide full details on your build

yu mean like a clean install?

[loony979]

download direct driver uninstaller and follow the prompts .

this will delete everything related to nVidia then you install a new driver you want.

Use DDU to uninstall your previous drivers as loony979 suggested.

A clean install of your drivers USE THIS PROGRAM TO UNINSTALL all your old drivers (uninstall AMD and nvidia drivers to make sure)  

if that doesnt work then i guess RMA your card.

Yes, it will use the default windows drivers until you install new ones.

i just ran a game on it and there was big flashing pixels and bright lights and screen flickering then it crashed

Sounds like a defective card then. You will need to submit an RMA unfortunately and either use an older card or be without a card for 2-4 weeks depending on the vendor etc..

Unistalled it again and no red and green pixel flashing, but the games run slow

You need to RMA. When the drivers get installed, it's actually using the GPU. When you run it and games are slow, it's because it's not truly running properly. I did the same with my GTX 770. As long as drivers were not installed it didn't freak out but of course, it's just a generic 2D VGA vid card at that point. RMA needed.

I did RMA and the GPU was in fact defective, got a new one and it's working perfectly
