GPU drivers causing crashing, please help!

Dabruzz · October 24, 2017

Hey guys, so i recently built a custom PC although it is my first time doing so and im not too sure how to troubleshoot many things on my pc. Basically, after trying to download drivers for my GPU, CPU etc, i kept getting error/crashing reports during different times on my PC. Including during gaming (several different games) or just using word in general. I have a ASUS GTX 1070 and originally tried downloading nvidia graphics drivers. After realising that my GPU was ASUS branded i used DDU uninstaller to reinstall the ASUS display driver for the 1070, although this is still causing problems and i'm not sure why. Am i downloading the wrong display driver and if so which driver should i use for a ASUS GTX 1070? Sometimes my crashing occurs by instantly crashing the app im running, mouse and volume stuttering before crashing and black screens on restart etc. It's happening very constantly and i'm just going to reinstall windows if there is no other possible fixes. Please help, thank you.

Got the same issue with some Nvidia drivers... last time it occured it was after getting the fall creators update... then getting the latest driver from nvidia fixed the issue on my side (GF 760 here)

Same behavior, black screen, sound stuttering until frozen into a loop... only a hard reset boots the system back up.

If you go for new drivers, always start at Nvidias site first. The drivers on Asus website are usually older.

And if the most recent driver isn't fixing the issue, get the one before, you can get them on nvidias site as well... rinse and repeat until you get a stable one.
