Constant driver related crashes

[jjar35]

Hey all,

 

I have constant graphics driver crashes. Currently using nVidia driver 364.72 which crashes constantly for me. I dont understand whats going on. I had used driver uninstaller to completely uninstall all my graphics drivers and then installed the newest one. Anything I can do to stop the crashes?

Yikes. Another victim of the 364 driver release.

If you're overclocking, test at stock to see if it's still there.

 

If you're not (i assume you're not) install driver version 362.00 and see if it still happens.

i should make a thread on "[Nvidia] Do this if your gpu is acting strange" and pin it to my sig

uninstall the current gpu driver using DDU and install older versions such as 361.xx or 362.xx, 361.91 for example

 

if you play latest games, download the game ready driver for it

Use constant voltages on the GPU. If this solves the problems then -

Leave as is and be on with your day,

Use MSI AB / Precision X to use one profiles (stock) in 2D mode and your OC with a forced voltage in 3D mode (even if it's still on stock).

See if you can RMA.

 

If this doesn't then we take it from there.

That's what I have. I turned off adaptive mode when I first did my overclock.

I ended up doing this. Downloading 362.00 and its only been a few hours but I havent had a crash so far. We will see what happens over the next week. I do play some of the latest games but 362.00 seems to be working fine for those atm.

I am overclocking to 4.4GHz. But I did follow your idea to download 362.00 and seems to be much more stable but it has only been a few hours.

I meant overclocking the GPU. Hopefully you don't crash in 362.00

Changing Adaptive to Prefer Maximum Performance is useless. It just stops the card from going down to 135Mhz. It doesn't effect GPU Boost 2.0, which is where the problem is coming from.

You could use Nvidia's "Debug" mode which will strip the card of 2.0 but, that will severely downclock your card.
