Nivida drivers crashing

[Techen]

Heya fokes, I have a issue with my drivers....

Driver Version 344.60
2 X 980 underwater.

At first I thought it was because I had overclocked my cards, But going to play archeage I had flicker issues, So I removed one card and it crashed again. So I turned off afterburner and just went standard clocks etc? Crashed again, Is it the drivers acting up rather than my cards??

Have you tried rolling back to different drivers?

 

[Techen]

Any idea what drivers are pretty solid?

Seems like SLI and the 900 series is experiencing issues. This is just an observation I am making from threads on this forum.

That's a shame, Hopefully a few patches down the line they'll improve D:

I have 2 x 970 and 344.60 have got rid of flicker problems that I was having in farcry 3 and no issues with crashing at defaults or overclock but still have problems with the DP port so switch back to duel link DVI.

So I turned off afterburner

Just about the only time I have problems with driver crashes, or worse, hard locks, is when that damn thing is running in the background.

Just yesterday, with my Asus Strix running at stock speeds, I had a complete hard lock when playing a bit of Homefront, suspecting afterburner, because of previous hard locks and driver crashes with Bad Company 2, Metro Last Light and a few others, I rebooted, turned AB off and then proceeded to run Homefront for 3hrs without any problems.

There is just something about it that is incompatible with some games...and I think it's more to do with Memory conflicts than GPU drivers TBH.

So always check if AB is the culprit rather than jumping to the conclusion it's your GPU and any overclocks you have on it.

Didnt you read what I posted. I turned AB off and still suffered driver crashes which removed AB being the issue
