Nvidia Users Beware, Latest Drivers May Damage Your PC

I removed that snippet roff after realising it was just as perceivable to be excusing one over the other the same as chops.

Point I made still stands, it shouldn't happen regardless how many times any of them have done it in the past, obviously nothing learned from what's happened before.:)
 
I'm not disagreeing about the point - I'm just a stickler for the fact that atleast 2 of nVidias GPU "destroying" drivers were very limited in impact compared to the headlines.

That's what I actually meant. A tounge in cheek joke about both using the same QA, but I didnt mean one was excusable over the other. Both have has serious driver issues and both had better get their finger out.
 
362.00 on my EVGA 980Ti now has an issue where it won't launch some games with Precision open/running... Works fine if you close Precision and then launch once the game is running. Anybody else having issues with it? Black Ops 3 will error and close before it even launches the title unless I close precision first.

Might try the new 364 which popped up in a week or so... Bit of a pain in the ass that I have to close it and open again but not the end of the world.
 
Well so far the driver im on which is 361. something or other has been solid as a rock. Latest driver i ended up updating to thanks to windows update nearly killed my pc. I'm now scared to update my driver lol. I think i'll just stick to my current driver for the foreseeable future lol.
 
Still on the 355.82 myself.

I do have to agree with Roff and of course it is still no excuse, but these things happen with a very specific and strange set of circumstances. It must be or we would have hundred if not thousands of cases of cards burning out, considering the amount they sell.

It shouldn't happen at all no company wants it to happen and most companies test rigorously to try to cover any eventuality, but the PC market being what it is, there is an infinite number of different combinations of software that could be running and there is no way to test for every possibility.
 
Thought I would post a quick update, turns out the VRMS on the gfx card in my laptop burned out - It's still in RMA but has had a new motherboard, processor and power adapter.

I still can't be 100% sure that this driver update was solely to blame but the card in my machine was definitely fried.
 
Kernel drivers have been constantly crashing and recovering with these drivers. Also sometimes not even able to get to the login screen. Is it possible that this is the cause?

I'm playing The Division on an older set of drivers, 361.91 i think.

Have we got people here playing with 364.51 all okay?

Kernel drivers keep crashing for me, sometimes black screens before I get to login screen. Not sure whether it's related to the drivers themselves but that seems to be the most logical explanation.
