The generic drivers are super basic from windows, I couldn't even do multi monitor when I tried using them. Any particular reason you don't want to go to Nvidia's website and just get the latest driver? The file isn't exactly very large.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Most of the time - They are pain in my ass,
I get blue screens of death, most times are bcuz of these drivers , no matter how many times i install those drivers (latest) or other versions they always have some kinda issue no matter how small it is, even after doing DDU.

If you're running a graphics card, it's always best to install the drivers for that particular card manufacturer.

Are there any most stable drivers, (if nvidia have created them by mistake)

what ever is the latest, if you have issues, get the previous one to that.

That's not a problem with the drivers, that's a hardware issue.

because the graphics card isn't being fully utilized, whatever fault that exists is not being brought out.

 

like @Arika S said, different driver versions can help too.

there is a good chance you have a bad video card if you get blue screens from the driver.

If you are receiving BSODs when using your graphics card with drivers installed, and you have tried using DDU to remove the drivers and reinstall new/different version drivers and still have the same issue, it's probably a hardware fault. 750Ti is what, 5 years old? Could just be dying. If there are any overclocks on the card then try removing them, might help with stability.

If you're not going to install the Nvidia drivers for your graphics card, you may as well just remove the graphics card and use the i5 6600 integrated graphics instead.
Hmm. What's better, a graphics card without drivers or integrated graphics? ?

@Kpp550 if its doing what you want without the drivers, then don't get them

 

If its not doing what you want, then you need to start trying different drivers that are stable with your likely unstable GPU.

I had my machine require a reinstall when I installed the nVidia drivers, it was a faulty card.

 

To put it in a simple way, the default Windows drivers will be drawing one pixel at a time using the CPU and not using the GPU as old 2D only graphics cards did. When you install the drivers, the GPU is used to draw everything rather than the CPU and that's where hardware faults show themselves.

Actually it's that "nvidia container" thing (i think) which just comes randomly starts to download stuff, before that "nvidia container" everything was working like a charm!!!!
