Nvidia Driver Crash on Wake

Go to solution Solved by sterlingr,

New driver update seemed to solve problem!

Hello all,


 


Recently I have been experiencing a very frustrating problem with my computer. Upon trying to wake it from sleep, no image shows on any of my displays even through fans spin, lights are on, etc.


Usually this will never be resolved and I end up having to restart, sometimes it wakes up after a few minutes just to show an Nvidia driver error stating that the driver has failed and recovered (If it works itself out) or that the driver failed in the system logs (If I have to restart it).


 


I have determined that it is the Nvidia driver failing on wake for some reason, I've tried reinstalling the driver to no avail. It seems to be just the new version of the driver, as if I manually uninstall and let windows find the driver for me (an older driver) this doesn't seem like an issue however this is not feasible as this is a very limited driver that doesn't let me utilize my other monitors among other things.


 


Does anyone have a fix for this?? I am very frustrated as this is a brand new build...  Thanks!

Try uninstalling everything Nvidia in safe mode with networking. Then reboot and it won't recognize the card but you can redownload the drivers and software.

Try using DDU to uninstall and reinstall the drivers. If that doesn't work maybe you could look into re-flashing the stock GPU BIOS. If neither of those work RMA the card

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling in safe mode, no difference at all  :(

 

I think I'm going to wait for a driver update until I re-flash the GPU BIOS.

The weird thing is that this didn't happen with Win 10 Tech Preview, so I don't think its the card...

 

Any more suggestions.... I'm desperate.

Did you use DDU?
