Endless Nvidia kernal crashes

[Hybris5112]

Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 Ti xtreme edition

 

As the title says I've been dealing with countless Nvidia display driver kernel crashes and subsequent recoveries.  Sometimes I can go days without a crash but other times I am getting 4 or more crashes a day.

All of these happen usually when browsing Imgur especially anything with gifs or more rarely when watching youtube. Because of these crashes the software for my Corsair keyboard and mouse fail as in my mouse macros stop working and I can't open up the utility program until I restart the rig. Gaming is 100% reliable.

 

In the past I have tried using Display Driver Uninstaller DDU to clean up the previous drivers or use Nvidia's built in clean install option but these are unreliable and the issue keeps coming back. Googling has shown that this is a on going issue since 2012.

 

Is there a actual solution to these crashes that lasts longer then until I get the next driver update? And how is this not talked about more?

sum ting fucky

 

ive experienced windows repair fixing it

 

plugging my stuff in another outlet of the house

 

getting a battery backup ups thing

 

reseating all my stuff, ram, gpu, cmos battery

 

it's plaguing a shitload of people, including me. it was worse when i had my lenovo laptop and could'nt fix it. Now i have an amd radeon RX480 gtr from xfx and it happens too from time to time, i fix by reseating my hardware and resetting my cmos...

 

i am not even sure it's gpu related at all, 

 

it just freezes or go black with a buzzing noice from your speakers, and the only fix it a hard reset right? that's how it was for me, and upon startup it would say kernel crashed. now with amd it says radeon software failed.

All I get is a black screen for 3 seconds at most no sound issues at all. Been having these issues since I got the card in September switched from AMD to Nvidia I've gone through with DDU and removed all traces of AMD drivers because that was the first "fix" that I was told before I got banned from r/Nvidia board.

 

Aside from this no other odd behavior and I have gone back and reseated everything I could. Don't know what else to blame besides the drivers.

 

Its funny that I managed to dodge all the bad ATI/Radeon driver issues for 15 years then get hit by this when I switch.

GPU driver crash is usually due to power problems (utility/building side or PSU side), GPU malfunction (aggressive OC or dud board), or bad driver installation.

 

Alternatively, program/game bugs, but that is usually only associated with running a specific program/game.
