Unlikely a driver issue, most of these crashes seem to get fixed with application patches. Can you try a Windows update.

Same here Windows 8.1, checked out the new driver in GE and now I just get the 'Geforce Experience encountered an error and must close' There is a 12 page thread on the nvidia forums with users with the same issue.

https://esports.geforce.com/forums/topic/810230/geforce-experience/-quot-geforce-experience-encountered-an-error-and-must-close-quot-fix-solution-as-of-10th-feb-2015/1

Top suggested fix didn't work. Which didn't surprise me as I have rebooted anyway which would obviously restart the nvidia services.

Same issue here with Geforce Experience, I will stick with 347.25 drivers for now I guess!

You can still download and install them manually from nvidia as usual.

EDIT>> Installed drivers manually from nvidia and customised settings, selected GE and installed. Drivers installed ok etc.. GE crashed with the same error 1st time but seems ok now(Allowed me to re-config Shadowplay and scanned for games). YMMV

EDIT 2 >> Still crashes if you click the drivers tab :(
