Hey guys, i am having an issue with games closing randomly. I didnt get this problem with 3440x1440 but playing on 4k now i have experienced games like dota 2 and division randomly closing with no error message. is this related to nvidia drivers?
 
try looking in event viewer and see if there is any errors in there which could help narrow down the issue.

does it crash back to desktop?
 
have a look when you get a sec as if its crashed at some point it will keep a log of all crashes.

has it happened since you upgraded from older gpu drivers or something?

I would use DDU to strip out the drivers and then re install the latest Nvidia drivers.

1. install DDU - http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

2. run it and reboot in safe to remove the drivers

3. reboot again and re install Nvidia drivers

4. Monitor the issue
 
I disabled sli and havn't had a crash yet, probably buggy nvidia drivers? currently using 364.91 atm
 
Avoid 364.xx please. Install 362.00 instead . Let us know how it worked out. Btw. , have you experienced most of the crashes in DX 12? If you do , there will be a patch from MS to fix it. (memory addressing issue with 4kB vs 64kB)

Anyway, huge amount of users are reporting the same issue, then just go into black screen. Most of the users unable to use the card after that.
