Nvidia Driver 364,72 Causing Issues

SO In A recent post of mine I was trying to find out why my Precision X16 was acting up as shown in the pictures and why geforce experience was doing the same. So I was gaming with an overclock profile and my screen went full green and the game crashed, went to Precision X and I saw the dials and numbers were messed up, reinstalled Precision X16 and it still came out blank like in the pics. also noticed Geforce Experience was acting up saying my gpu could not optimize games, even a restart of my PC didn't fix these issues, so I reinstalled my graphics drivers and it went back to normal, but I tried overclocking again, and repeat story above. WORST OF ALL was that the fan profile was gone, the fans wouldn't turn on at all... even at high temps! AND for some reason the gpu wasn't even sending a temp reading to Speccy and my AIO Cooled cpu was reaching 55c from the ambient heat from the gpu (its placed as an exhaust)!!

 

Has anyone else had these issues with the latest Nvidia Driver 364.72 because this scared the crap out of me!

I'd say re-install the Nvidia drivers to the latest stable release.

 

Then uninstall the EVGA software and get MSI Afterburner. I've been using it for a while, and it seems to be the best for overclocking to the majority. And on top of that, it works.

 

Spoiler

You are using a crappy driver - almost all of Nvidia's 2016 drivers are trash

Go back to the drivers from May 2015 - everything after that is from bad to worse

Simply put, 364.xx are bad drivers. Like, REALLY bad drivers.

  1. 364.51, for example, was released as a Beta driver, but was renamed WHQL just a single day later!
  2. 364.72 also had loads of people reporting issues.
  3. 364.96 was a "hotfix" that only adds Doom Beta support, nothing else. And while irrelevant for gaming, those drivers also completely broke OpenCL for Maxwell.

 

As said, downgrading is advised. Try 362.00, that's what I'm using, and it's been working just fine.
