nvlddmkm driver has crashed.

[Reddax]

I have a brand new GTX 970 MSI OC edition.

Specs:

GFX Driver: 353.06

Processor: 4790k Intel.

RAM: 16Gigs RipJaw.

OS: Windows 8.1 64bit.

New 600W power supply.

Since switching to my new graphics card, every so often the nvlddmkm driver crashes. This can be caused by google chrome or games. As it usually says that chrome was blocked or the game name was blocked from accessing graphics hardware in the event viewer. Chrome took about 6 hours until it crashed. Just been playing Archeage for 10 minutes and the nvlddmkm driver crashed, getting lots of errors within event view but with the following errors;

The description for Event ID 13 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.Graphics Exception: ESR 0x404490=0x80000001Graphics Exception:  MISSING_MACRO_DATAAnd I also got;Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.Application archeage.exe has been blocked from accessing Graphics hardware.NVRM: Graphics TEX Exception on (GPC 0, TPC 0):     TEX LAYOUTVariable String to Large

How do I fix this? I've tried uninstalling my NVIDIA drivers with driver cleaner and re-installing and rolling back drivers.

Anything I can send to try and figure this out?

Have you tired a different driver?

[Altecice]

Is anything else OC'd in your system? (have you changed your BLK clock from the default 100.0 setting).

Everything is default in bios. APART from the CPU voltage which has to be forced at 1.2v as auto increases voltage to over 1.35, temperatures getting dangerously high.

It's a known issue in the 352.86 and 353.06 drivers, though much worse in 352.86 (I was getting the driver crashing every 20-30 minutes when using Chrome then). Uninstall them with the DDU from Guru3d and install the 350.12 drivers. This never happens on them and the only downside is they're not optimized for Witcher 3. Don't just use the roll-back feature in the Windows device manager, when I did that to roll back from 352.86 to 350.12 I was getting 35 fps at times in GTA V. Using the DDU uninstall and reinstalling 350.12 gave me back my locked 60 fps in GTA V.

Oh really?

I've been getting seriously worried that it was my graphics card.

Nah, Nvidia just screwed the pooch with these last two drivers. I can't believe it's still there in 353.06.

[SteveGrabowski0]

Nvidia's drivers are usually so awesome too. It was a big reason I went with a 970.

[El123]

Same i was like is my oc fked,

when i'm playing games no crash or nothing. 

But then i go using google chrome facebook, youtube, ltt, etc & crash randomly.

& yes this started when i got the driver for witchers 3.

[Reddax]

I've reverted to 350.12 drivers. I'll see how it goes-

[Reddax]

It's still crashing on 350.12. Played GTA for about 10mins before it happened.

That sucks. I'm using 350.12 and have been playing GTA V the last few days with no crashes.

Been running FurMark for an hour now and no crash. Could be software conflicting with the game or something? When Windows 10 comes out, i'll probably be doing a clean install anyway.

 

Is it a good idea to leave it running overnight to test? It's at about 70 degrees at full load.

 

Edit: It lasted around an hour and 10minutes before crashing. Seems to do with somewithing with the GPU. Do i assume it's software as it's a new GPU and a new 600W PSU?

[Reddax]

Re-installing windows fixed it. Must've been a corrupted driver or something. Thanks anyway!
