Driver Problems.

[Tholmar]

I have an Nvidia GTX 960 with the latest drivers, when I play games or sometimes when watching Youtube videos, the driver crashes and reboots. This has happened on all the drivers I have downloaded for the card itself, how do I fix this? Any other details needed, let me know

Has this always been a issue, if not when did it start happening?(after a clean OS install, or Overclocking?)

Have you overclocked the CPU or GPU?

How long have you had it? Both drivers 352.86 and 353.03 are known to crash in Chrome. 352.86 was really bad for me with my 970, so I uninstalled the driver with DDU from Guru3d.com and installed the 350.12 drivers which I have never had crash.

I've had the card since March and only recently it has been a problem, I have overclocked both but they seem to be fine until around May-June and this month it has gotten worse

What's your OS?

Does it still happen when you roll back to old drivers which used to work well for you?

352.86 came out May 18th, and that's where the problems began. You can either turn hardware acceleration off in your browser or go back to driver 350.12 (the GTA V game-ready driver). If you go to an older driver, make sure you uninstall with this tool:

If you use the Windows driver rollback function it does a piss poor job. When I rolled back to 350.12 through the Windows roll back function my framerates in GTA V on my 970 were like 35 fps. When I uninstalled with DDU and reinstalled 350.12 I got my 60-90 fps back.

It started when I downloaded the GTA V driver, thanks I'll revert back and I'll report back tomorrow morning (it's night here in Britain)
