nvidia graphics card drivers has stopped responding

[Shaye87]

I need your help badly guys, thanks so much in advance.
I am desperate already, spent the whole day trying to fix this and no luck.
I will start off by posting my rig: (2 years old)

OS Windows 7 64Bit
CPU I5 2500K
Motherboard GB GA-Z68X-UD3-B3
Memory Kingston 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1333Mhz
Graphics Card Gigabyte GTX570 1280MB GDDR5 320-bit interface OC Ver 780Mhz
Monitor(s) Displays Samsung C530 32"
Screen Resolution 1080P 1920x1080
PSU Seasonic 620W Modular
Case Lancool K62 Black Window

Ever since i updated to the latest nvidia drivers ( 320.18 ) few days ago , my screen goes black randomly, no matter what I do (playing games, watching vids on youtube, just normal browsing), I get random black screens every few minutes, then a message coming up saying "nvidia graphics card drivers has stopped responding", and a few seconds later it recovers the game or what i previously was doing, sometimes it fails to recover and just freezes, then I have to reboot, nothing responds...

I tried going back to older drivers (whql ones) but it didn't help, same problem!

I made sure everything inside the case is clean, temp is just fine.... I don't know what else to do, I tried googling this and a lot of people are having the same problem but no one actually have a solution...

Sure you've downgraded drivers? I know a couple of people (one being my brother) who had issues with the latest drivers on his 560Ti (I believe it impacts all 500 series cards).

Head to nvidia's control panel, bottom left click system information and the driver version will appear. You want to roll back to 314.22 WHQL, here's the link for that driver and your OS: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-314.22-whql-driver-uk.html

I'd recommend doing an advanced install & clean installation too. Hopefully that'll sort it for you

yeah, i did a clean install of 314.22 whql - didn't help

It's a TDR crash mate, I've also noticed a large increase in these and they started a few drivers ago. Best way to fix it is to just go back quite a few drivers till you find the ones that are most stable on you rig.
