Nvidia driver keeps crashing

TheBrenz · July 8, 2014

Specs: MSI gtx 660ti sli, 3570k at stock speeds, 8gb of ram, win7 64bit, msi mpower z77 motherboard.

In BF4, BF3, arma 3, and call of duty black ops 2, my computer basically freezes completely then unfreezes over and over again, and eventually after about 15 seconds - 1 minute then screen flashes with horizontal lines with the colours of the image that was on the screen last, then my screen goes black and I get a message that the nvidia driver has stopped working. I have tried reinstalling the current driver as well as previous ones and disabling sli. What should I do next?

Update motherboard bios.

Have you tested the cards individually?

Are they overclocked?

What temps at load are you getting?

If they are overclocked -> Reason.

Had this issue with SLI, once OCed nothing but crashes [while individually they'd overclock nicely, SLIed they crashed at +25].

You can try DisplayDriverUninstaller and do a completely fresh driver install and see if that helps.

I have not overclocked them, and I will try the fresh driver install

Thanks.
