Nvidia driver crashes(Kernel mode)

[Gall Cohen]

Hey guys, I corrently have a 670 gtx from Nvidia(Gigabyte) and for the last few months I am having some problems with it.

Once in a while the computer will just freeze for a while, sometimes the sound will go "buzzzz" and after some time the computer

will crash everything and display a small messege in the task bar: "nvidia kernel mode driver stopped responding and has recovered".

The card is 36 C at rest and won't go beyond 75 C at stress(it crashed without stressing the system, just wanted to give as much info as I can), I updated

the drivers to the lastest, I also used an older version to test it, I updated my windows also(8.1 64bit).

I don't remember everything I did but I tried alot of things and so far nothing fixed it, I would like to get some help, also if you need more info about the system I run or anything

just ask for it

Thanks!

Does the buzzing come from your 670 or from your speakers?

The speakers, it comes from the freezing of the system and not a physical malfunction
