display driver keeps crashing

[maddoggaming15]

Okay i keep getting this error display driver has stopped working and recovered.

windows 10 64bit

nvidia gtx 970

8gb ram 1866

things i have tried

stable drivers , 2 different video cards (GTX 970 R9 280x)

 

both cards have this same error im thinking its a memory stick bad any thoughts ?

[FloRolf]

well two different Cards that may be the Problem. The Drivers may interfer. Clean them all off with DDU and then install some ealier Driver for the 970 like a 35X.XX Version (i think)

i cleaned all drivers with DDU safemode the r9 280x was doing the same thing before i upgrade to the 970 2 different brands many drivers on both sides later im thinking memory stick is probably bad.

reason i asked because there might be something else i can try before going out and buying new ram

I had that too a while ago with my GTX780 and nothing helped to fix that Problem so i RMA'ed it.

In your case it's a lot weirder though because both Cards do it.

 

afaik the ram has nothing to do with all this. (vram yes, but not dram) But you can try running only 1 Stick just to be sure (and then the other one ofc)

 

EDIT: You could also try a clean Win10 install....

clean windows 10 install happend a week ago, havent tried 1 stick of ram just yet . everything ive researched is bad ram

[maddoggaming15]

ive tested pretty much everything

intel cpu test checked out fine

mem test, fine.

Are you sure that you read bad ram and not bad vram?

 

Also, try single sticks first before you buy new ones.

Two different video cards should not be a problem, as Windows has long not cared about people mixing and matching hardware. Let's not jump to RAM, because if it was RAM, there would be problems elsewhere every time you rebooted. So I suggest one of two things

• Run things with only one card for a while and see if things are stable
• Roll back drivers to a previous version of a WHQL certified one.

Also if you manually overclocked your cards, put them back to stock. And just out of curiosity, what's the power supply on the computer?

eh, i think he meant that both Cards have the Problem individually, they never ran at the same time?!

I'm led to believe if RAM was the problem, you'd have other issues because of ASLR (although I'm not sure if that part of memory space gets randomized).

 

If you're going to test RAM though, at least do it using Memtest86+

-i'm not using both cards in the pc only the gtx 970, The reason i mentioned the r9 280x was becuase that card was giving me the same display crash aswell

-no cards are overclocked same clocks out of box

-i have rollbacked to WHQL certified drivers and other drivers aswell with the same issue

-when trying the r9 280x same thing as above with drivers with DIsplay drivers have crashed and responded

-all mobo drivers/ bois are up too date aswell with windows 10 64bit

- full hardware

z97 anniversary mobo asrock

8gb sniper elite ram 1866

EVGA GTX 970

850 watt black window power supply

120 kingston SSD boot driver

500GB WD black drive

i5 4690k (not overclocked) h100i all in one water cooling

windows 10 64bit

 

So after many hours i have no idea.

[maddoggaming15]

so have playing a bunch of games listed below here is  my results.

Diablo 3 30mins no crash

Overwatch 30mins no crash

Tera 30mins crashed display adapter has crashed

Valley benchmark no crash

youtube/ internet viewing no crashes

 

so can this be related to just tera since ive been playing that alot recently ? im going to play more of my games see if anything else crashes aswell.
