Hi guys losing my mind here I get a black screen and after 5 seconds it back to normal it's says Nvidia driver have stopped responding and have recoverd I've tried everything on the internet that could solve this this does it at random times when gaming or just browsing the net

Now I've tested ram that's fine ran with 3 sticks then back to 6
Tested ssd that's fine
Ran both my cpu and gpu both at stock normally oc
And it still does it I am thinking maybe it's my psu
I've read loads of forums your my last hope before I buy all new as I am sick of it

PC specs

Xeon 5650 @ 4
Gtx 780
12gb of ram
256 ssd
Ocz 1000 watt psu

I am a full custom watercolor loop so trying other cards isn't easy as it's all plumbed in ha

Thanks for you help
 
Could be the overclock isn't stable...assuming its overclocked that is :D PSU could also be another cause, I had this with a previous unit.
 
Roll back the driver to the last stable one you had 3 months ago

Or

Download Display Driver Uninstaller, so a sweep and re download the latest Official drivers.

*if you have already done this might be worth posting in the GPU section for the knowledgeable chaps to have a crack at solving it.

Sounds like something is corrupted in the drivers/installation of the drivers.
 
It's random might not do it for a couple of hours of heavy gaming then I'll Finnish open web browser and it will do it I can't try another gpu with out dismantling my loop witch I don't fancy doing gpu and cpu are on a loop

Thanks for trying to help
 
Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and completely remove all Nvidia drivers. Grab the latest drivers off of the Nvidia website and run through the installer. When it asks you, be sure to select Custom, clean install and untick all of the boxes apart from PhysX System Software. Then run through the rest of the installer as normal and that should clear up your issue.

Edit: Just so you know, there is a thread dedicated to Nvidia drivers here that would probably get you a better response than Gen. Hardware.

Can you put a 2nd gpu in and take power off the water cooled one. I'm thinking maybe the cooled card has a problem. Does it have a full cover block or are the vram chips air cooled.
Andi.
 
I've been finding the last 2 releases do the display driver stopped responding and recovered thing a lot for me in older games - as its mysteriously just started doing it with those 2 drivers over several different GPUs unless I put them back to reference clocks or go back to a slightly older driver I'm a bit dubious.
 
You've tried adding some offset voltage to the card I guess? I'd try using Gigabytes afterburner style tool to do so. Or look into a bios mod.
