Driver Has Stopped Responding - Nvidia Driver Crashes

Blame · 7 Jun 2015 at 22:09

I am also having display issues.

Installed a 980 and updated to latest drivers. 1st time boot it went blue screen!

Then second boot and onwards is fine now.

When browseing and closing programs or a window causes the window to tab to freeze and i cant click on it, have to wait a couple of seconds before it responds.

When gaming it sometimes kicks me into windows desktop.

Blame, try the drivers I mentioned and if you are using MSI Afterburner, the polling tweak. What's to lose?

Be good if we could get some more dx diags uploaded easier on the forum. These boards are so out of date and useless it's a wonder what OCUK do with half the money it takes from us.

No probs on my 680s...so it is driver and card compatibility.

Neil79 · 7 Jun 2015 at 23:23

Well no driver has stopped responding or The Witcher 3 crashes today, so I'm staying on these drivers and the msi afterburner tweaks I did

The threads over on the GeForce forums regarding these recent issues are a joke, people making troll accounts just to post utter turd. Makes this place seem fairly relaxed, although I'm sure if that behaviour could go unmoderated some would do the same.

I feel sorry for the moderators there and the codeys alike, but only because of the amount of crap they have to shift through in order to get meaningful consumer feedback. The mods here don't really deserve that admiration lol

So far so good having rolled back to 350.12. The latest ones were giving me crashes every hour or so with some hard crashes thrown in for good measure.

Great so that's two drivers recommended then, think I'll add these to the OP

Thanks Neil for putting all this info up, set my AB polling to 5000, see if that makes a difference.

Quite depressing how many people have solved their issues by finding and removing a bitcoin mining power virus...

Been having this "driver stopped working" for a bit now.

Happened on my GTX 970 and now on a GTX 980, always seems to be while in Chrome and especially for me when watching Twitch. Drivers 350.12 were the last stable ones for me, all since then crash under the same circumstances.

Could there be a link with Chrome? I noticed a lot of people mention "while in Chrome" or is it happening with other browsers?

I uninstalled MSI Afterburner last night though and no crashes since then, so I'm keeping a eye on it.

I spoke to ManuelG from NVDIA about the Chrome issue with regards to the polling in PX and AB, I think there is a definite link. Hopefully they'll find it soon.

Just had ny first D3D crash in GTA for a week on start up (modest OC of 1500) and the reason???

I had turned off shadow play and my GPU voltage fell below 1 volt with the card power saving........

Silent_Scone · 8 Jun 2015 at 10:19

1500 is hardly modest

What driver? I've removed GFE for now to eliminate any potential problems.

Neil79 · 8 Jun 2015 at 11:17

If you get Witcher 3 crashes, it may not just be your drivers

It can be the game

Vimes · 8 Jun 2015 at 11:30

For me the 353's have been little better than the 352's but the 350's seem to be the most stable for my Windows 8.1 x64 and 980GTX install...

.....like with my 352 issues I have posted over at the NVidia forums driver thread.

I have kept with the 353's for now as the above occurred when using Chrome and it only seemed to happen when using that browser to download from the Mega website, using their extension as it was a large file. Not sure if it would happen when using other sites or more normal use as I use FF as my main browser.

I notice that AB has been updated to something like 4.1.1

Neil79 · 8 Jun 2015 at 11:36

Try the polling tweak if you haven't already

Vimes · 8 Jun 2015 at 11:42

Thanks for that Neil. I hadn't read the entire thread and so I have changed mine from 1000 to 5000 to see if it helps.
