Graphics card driver keeps crashing

[ByKayy]

Well for the past week my graphics card driver keeps crashing, the screen just goes black, the system freezes for about a second then everything goes back to normal and I get a little notification saying something along the lines of "driver crashed, version *something*".

 

I've tried downgrading my driver but still the same problem. I've had this build well over a year now, and it's just coming up to the 2year mark and this problem only just started last week. I recently added a sound card, but I've had that for about 3 weeks now.

 

The stuff that event viewer shows is:

 

 

I'm running a GT 620, and I'm not gaming, I'm literally just watching youtube videos and browsing facebook and it'll crash.

 

Thanks for any help in advance, I've been trying to fix all week and I'm having no luck.

Overclocked? (Is that even possible )

Otherwise potentially broken card...

Perheps do a clean nvidia driver install (Google)

Dude, overclocking is by far the easiest on low-end cards

Try updating the driver?

Had problem similar to yours , mine was caused by a badly seated GPU . Remove your gpu and place it again firmly but gently . Check for high strain on PCI bracket ( gpu sagging)  < oh you have a 620 , those are not heavy enough to bend pci

I'd suggest upgrading when you can...preferably to a 750Ti. gt 620 shouldn't even be considered a "gaming" gpu because of how low end it is. You'd have to replace it most likely. way back in the day I had an AGP 8x geforce 6200 doesn't matter what drivers I used it would constantly crash and cause freezes.

I've downgraded the driver and had the same problem, so went back to latest update and still bad.

I'll try removing it and reseating it when I get off and see if that helps tomorrow.

Oh I know it's a horrible GPU, I'm upgrading my build and going for the new GTX 980 for my 18th which is in about a month.

I'll probably go for a EVGA superclocked, I just love the look of the stock shell.

I'm extremely tired... I usually don't do that.
