Driver Has Stopped Responding - Nvidia Driver Crashes

You've just said the card is going in another PC?

So you use freesync for one game?

Those with the Witcher 3 watch your oc's. After the latest patch my mates graphics card oc's made the game unstable while being fine on the patch before. This is on the Amd side. The game would freeze and kick him to Desktop. Backed of the clocks on his 290x crossfire and the game ran great again.

I know this is on the Amd side but for some it could add extra crashes not due to the Driver.

Yes it will be going into another pc once 390x is released. And I use Freesync on games I have always ran single GPU on like source engine etc. Freesync csgo 144fps no extra input lag. Enjoyable.

Stay on topic guys.... For a change

Still no issues with 350

If, as you say Mike, AB or precission x could be causing issues then it defo a Nvidia driver issue causing them to now be unstable.

ok then just getting mixed signals from you because I read a post the other day saying you much prefer single card freesync gaming now you're saying you still use crossfire for most games.

Point being if AMD were on the ball you could enjoy both so it's a little funny when you try to bash the other side for an issue that can be resolved easily whereas yours can't until AMD actually release the drivers.

Played Witcher 3 for a few hours on 350.12 last night, totally fine. Browsing fine to. I think 350.12 is the one. (I bet I get probs again now I have written this

)

350.12 is fine, it's any drivers after that where nVidia went full potato.

Yeh, lots of people are saying the 350s are very good. I will try them when I get back

Apparently not, that's why Nvidia are requesting user rigs to repro, if it was easy it would be fixed already.

WHQL 353 is crashing occasionally as I play the Witcher 3. 352 was crashing as I used Chrome. I may go back to 350 as it's the last stable driver.

350.12 is 100% stable for me newer ones both crash ingame or on desktop. Will retry them without chrome if i get time as normally chrome lives open on my desktop

I held back installing based on feedback here but then couldn't stop wondering if I could improve performance in GTA so I went for the latest drivers.

They have been absolutely fine for me so far no crashes whatsoever in Chrome. I did have a display driver crash in GTA but found out is actually caused by MSI AB performance stat overlay or Fraps. Since that has been disabled no probs.

Another MSI AB + Nvidia issue?

Fail.

I meant easy for users to fix by rolling back to 350.12.

If you'd read my posts you would see I'd already commented on them using locals to replicate the problem at HQ.

Weird how some are having no TDR events...

Guess I'm pro

. I actually believe that if some ran MemtestPro they might have a shock.

I had none with a 560, none with a 660, none with a 970, none with a 980GTX until I used the 353.06 and 353.12 :mad:

I tested my memory just the other week and it was fine.

I don't think memory is to blame when multiple sets of drivers have worked flawlessly then all of a sudden a couple of new batches throw up errors for thousands of users.

nVidia are to blame here, end of.

So do you thing the new drivers are causing some sort of memory leak that is making the drivers unstable??

Yeah 353.06 is the first time I had a freeze in Firefox. The Game Ready driver 352.86 is perfect on my machine. I didn't even bother with the hotfix driver.

I have a feeling it might be changes they've made to power delivery for Windows 10. Be interested to know if anyone on W10 is getting any similar problems.

Just checked with my brother who's got an i5 system with 980GTX, no issues at all on 352.86, his system is completely stock (W8.1)

RichardH754 · 7 Jun 2015 at 13:21

Add me to the list, had a few of them

Bazzards · 7 Jun 2015 at 13:25

Add me too, I have loads of ctd's with the last two drivers. Irritating. Running Firefox.
