Driver Crashes After Restart

Go to solution Solved by TehTotalPwnage,

Alright I figure out the issue after some browsing. Apparently my PC updated to 9879 build and I never too notice or forgot, and that build has a pretty bad GDI leak issue that they didn't address in their Windows updates. Looks like I'm waiting for the next build. Thanks!

I've had this issue for the past two weeks, and quite frankly, it's starting to piss me off. So everytime I purge every display driver from my PC (no files, no registry entries, nothing) and I install an NVIDIA driver (I've tried 331.82, 337.88, 344.75) everything turns out fine. I can run two monitors just fine. I can run FurMark just fine. I can run YouTube and Minecraft just fine. But every single time I run a SINGLE shutdown and boot my PC back up, everytime I do something GPU intensive (literally, all it has to do is run Minecraft), the monitors black out and come back with an error about the OpenGL drivers crashing. How do I fix this?

Well the problem might be the OS since it's not really made for primary use. :P

Might be, it's really strange though. I've turned on and off my PC plenty of times in the past two months yet the issues barely showed up two weeks ago.

Edit: I've just realized. Could fast startup be messing something up?

Well I don't think there's a driver release two weeks ago so we can cross out the driver as the problem. Have you installed something lately that might be the cause?

Not much I can think of. Just some benchmarks and games and Steam.

Try to run a stability test on both CPU and GPU. Your issue might be overheating.(It happened to me once, playing HoN then have my screen blacked out only to learn my CPU runs more than 100c in temps)

Alright testing temps. Quick question though. Is it a good idea to restart when I'm installing NVIDIA drivers? Probably sounds stupid, but NVIDIA doesn't give me any indication on the installer about restarting.

It's a good idea to restart your PC after you've finished installing the driver just in case. :) Give it atleast 30-1hr of testing and if it blacked out then the problem is temps.

60C on CPU in stress test.

80C on GPU stress test and then OpenGL crash.
