320.18 Nvidia Drivers - Report your issues here

No problems with the 780 and 320.18, however as reported elsewhere when installing Precision 4.2 over the top of 4.1 Overvoltage +38mv was automatically enabled where it wasnt set on 4.1......

Possibly connected?
 
I'm surprised there isnt more of a thread on this considering the issues I have been seeing with some of my friends, and sad there doesnt seem to be any kind of correlation as to what could be the root cause
 
Well I have solved my issue with Grid 2 exiting full screen.

I started playing BF3 again and within 5 mins, that also exited full screen. Tried Tomb Raider and the same. I rolled back drivers to 314.22 and blow me, it still did it.... Frustration got the better of me and Googled for help. Plenty of crap about reinstalling the OS or turn off AA blah blah blah but one guy said he had the same issue and said he checked his running processes after the exit and he caught Bojour or something like that (I-Tunes) running and then disappeared.

I didn't see that but I have some serious crap on my computer and went through all the running processes and decided to look at anything on startup that wasn't needed and stop them from loading (msconfig). And I have problem solved. Played BF3 for a few hours last night with no issue and played Tomb Raider today with no issue.

Stupid PEBKAC for me.

I even tried going to one screen and that didn't work :D

I could find out what actual process it was by turning them all back on and stopping each one after each screen minimize but I don't have the patience for that. I thought I would write this up just in case anyone else has a similar issue.
 
Good to know. I noticed that when using 320.18 it would load BF3 in a window and I had to click the maximise button to full-screen it (ALT-Enter didn't help).

320.18. :) or 320.11 (effectively the same I believe) that is on the Asus site and some install CD's.

I wouldn't worry about it Jono. You have plenty of warranty :)

Indeed, as far as I'm concerned you are much much more likely to receive a faulty card to start with than have the official drivers kill the card.
 
Ive seen it across a few friends rigs, massively overheating, a mix of 5 and 6 series GPUs, downgraded to 314 and problem went away, fortunately with no damage.

It sounds like the drivers are good and optimizing the cards to their fullest but if a GPU is close to its limit already, the extra push could be what is pushing these cards over. I notice no difference in temps with my Lightnings on 314.22 <> 320.18 but they are not mentioned (or that I have seen mentioned) in the failings.

I would like to see someone with a 480/560ti/670 etc, run a fan of 50% fixed and test these drivers and see if temps increase on the 320.18. I have done this on my 8800GT as well as my Titans and no difference there at all (93C on 314.22 and 93C on 320.18 on 3DMark Vantage) but again, that is another card that isn't mentioned.
 
Yep, all back to normal on every one, luckily with no artifacting, but since I'd built all the systems the case cooling was very good on all of them so I suspect that may have saved them. I saw it first hand with the 570 sli, it would burn your hand on the exhaust area and the fans were going full tilt

I have built a few computers for friends/friends of friends and used varying GPU's from 560Ti's to 670's and not one of them has phoned me, maybe I should ring them....
 
Got a 580 GTX, ever since installing the latest drivers a week ago been having crashing issues with WoW and CoD, especially whilst streaming.

Something is definitely fishy, I've donegraded my drivers in case but still having issues.
 
EVE Online now has a blue haze to it if I have the shader quality at maximum, At medium the problem goes away, Annoying :(
