Is anyone else having trouble with their drivers?
Ever since I upgraded them to play BF3 the driver crashes even ive just logged in.
I've tried rolling back to an earlier driver but the same still happens.

I'm completely stumped.
It has just started going into sleep mode as soon as I log in.
Itll work perfect in safe mode.
Think I'll go ATI next time:rolleyes:
 
Well the problems only started since I upgraded the driver.
I reinstalled windows on Sunday and the problems started again after I installed the drivers.
I have now uninstalled the drivers and my computer's working fine now.
 
Does that not like hint you have other problems ? and it's not related to your GPU .. :rolleyes:

Maybe time to reinstall windows if you can't figure out why you are getting strange errors or even check the event viewer and see what errors are showing up there. As you stated in safe mode it works fine, so check what is starting up in normal mode that could cause these problems.

Event viewer has numerous: Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
 
I think regardless of what card you have (ATI/NVIDIA) you will have problems as this is something that the card is not at fault for.
It could be a fault of windows? or a bad driver of some kind?
What PSU do you have?
My advice would be to do a complete uninstall of nvidia driver (ccleaner) Then get the latest drivers and install using those.

I have a Corsair HX850.
I've unistalled the driver and i'm about to do a fresh install.
 
Always chose advanced options - clean install for new NV drivers.

Works perfectly. No need to remove old drivers first.

TBH i've rarely had issues with NV drivers even before this option.

Well ive just done a clean install and only installed the driver, it prompt me to restart so I did and the exact same problems started happening. So ive now uninstalled them and I'm running the VGA graphic drivers and it working fine.
Could it be conflicting with something else?
I searched on google and their seems to be a few people posting about this.
