The attached picture shows that my display driver crashes. It only ever does it when I am trying to play a game. So far the only game I could get to work 100% of the time is Mirror's Edge. I can barely play I Am Bread, though. All other games will crash either after clicking play at the main menu, or, in the Metro games, while showing the opening sequence.

 

I have the GTX 960. Obviously it isn't a hardware issue. I have uninstalled all the driver, and re-installed them. I have turned it off and on again. 

 

If this type of question has been asked, and solved, then please leave a link to the thread. If not, then any amount of help would be nice. Thank you.

Have you overclocked at all? Even in the slightest?

Display driver crashing is often a result of an unstable GPU overclock. Are you running at stock speeds? Does your PSU have enough power?

I took off the over clock, and then tried a game. It crashed instantly. So, then I reset my computer, it made it a few seconds into the opening before crashing again. I just did this within the last minute. My psu has enough power. I know my hardware is more than capable. A note to be made is that I just installed this card af ew days ago. Before that I was running an AMD card. The 960 worked fine the first couple of days, but then there was a tiny update to GeForce Experience. That is when this started. Also, when I re-installed the drivers I left out GeForce Experience this time, just incase that was the problem.

Did you completely remove the AMD drivers? Geforce Experience shouldn't be the problem. What were you using to overclock?
