Nvidia driver update causing crashes?

[countjdown4849]

I recently installed the latest nvidia drivers on my 960. Every time I launch a game, it crashes and the screen freezes, some time later I get and error saying the display driver has stopped working and successfully recovered. Anyone else have this problem or do any of you know how to fix it?

I haven't had any issues, but then again I have a different card.  I feel like if this was an issue with the driver there would be thousands of people reporting it; could just be something wrong with your system, or maybe a specific game you are trying to play.

Have you reloaded an older driver and see if the issue persists?

NVIDIA drivers on W10 are in really bad state. It is recommended to roll back on 362.00 or older version.

might be a corrupted driver

try uninstalling it using DDU and re-installing it

if the problem persist then try an older driver like 361.91

Kepler seems to be unaffected mostly. It is maxwell that has most driver issues.

Known issue, drivers 364.xx and 365.10 + Maxwell = Failure. Not everyone is affected, but there's quite a chunck of people that are unfortunate and can't get those drivers to be stable.

 

DDU it and install 362.00 or lower.

How do I do that?

as far as I know you can just download and install an older one, and pick "do clean install" or whatever it's called during the install process.  Or to be safe try the DDU tool

I've had this a few times on 980Ti Strix.

 

Its either driver corruption or - and this has happened - bad drivers released by Nvidia on certain models.

 

I tend to wait a few days or weeks before updating to check out any feedback.

 

Just roll back the driver to the previous and wait to a further update/issue. Have done this before.

 

Really people don't need to be updating drivers as often as they think. I'm on 361.91.

 

365.10 was released 2nd May.

 

A so called 'games ready driver'. However, until I've checked the feedback on the nvidia site. I'm not installing it.

Its very analogous to this: Windows updates

Security updates are to be always installed as a high priority. But always check on the feedback.

 

A few months ago Microsoft released an update for Windows 7 that broke people's computers and prevented them from being able to log in (including using Windows Recovery Disks). It took me 2 hours to get into mine.

 

Microsoft then 24 hours later modded their initial update to remove the problem.

 

What I'm saying is: slow down people installing updates.

 

Security updates and patches should be installed - immediately but check them for any known issues or feedback first.

 

Same goes for video drivers.

So there we go.

 

Nvidia has released defective drivers for Maxwell. (Again).

 

Will swerve until its resolved and stick with 361.91 for the time being.
