**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

So unbelievably frustrated by these TDR errors (event ID 4101). Only had my 980 Ti two weeks and I can hardly get through one round of Battlefield 4 before it crashes.
I've tried 350.12, 353.38 and 353.49 and they all exhibit the same behaviour. Is Windows 10 any better for stability?

Lot better! Go and try it!

I see people are trying drivers past 353.30, where are they? I can only find that for windows 10 on their site

Links on their driver forums.

Thanks
I haven't tried it, but I'll add it to my arsenal.I think I may have partially found the cause. Last night I killed all chrome.exe processes, didn't open AfterBurner, and FireStrike Ultra looped successfully all night. It usually crashes after an hour or so.
I've started the loop again with Chrome open in the background (hardware acceleration disabled), but AfterBurner is still closed. One of those two applications is making it crash, so I hope to find out today which one it is.

You overclocked it?
I'm on the hotfix for chrome tdr
Never had a crash in bf4 or tr3 or fire strike.
Only pcars crashes with a higher oc.
Thanks

Its definitely chrome.
I'm sure they said it fixed some of the tdr issues with chrome.
For the Witcher 3 I found setting the Power management mode (in Nvidia Control Panel) to "Performance" stopped the error. Default is adaptive.

I've been installing the latest driver using GE and it's hanging on the last 1% of the install. It's done it several times on 2 different machines now.

I think 10166 downloaded last night, I'll check when I get home this evening and try it out. For some reason my W10 was stuck on an older build as the update was failing due to a Bluetooth driver not installing correctly.
FireStrike Ultra was still looping after 4.5 hours with Chrome open. I can only assume that it's AfterBurner causing the crashes then.
When I have AfterBurner open, I don't change any settings, and I don't use the overlay. I simply leave it running in the background with default settings so that I can see how the card performed after I've finished playing.
Might try EVGA Precision and see if it exhibits the same behaviour.
EDIT: Gonna try this first:

that says its a fix for sony vegas pro. thats not something i ever use. EDIT - i jumped in before reading the whole thing. the driver has some of the updates that where in 353.38 it says. nothing extra for the chrome-driver crashes.
i have just formatted my computer and am still in the process of windows updates. first thing i done was install the latest gtx 970 driver. had no crashes what so ever all day yesterday. when i turned computer off it had a few more updates to do. now today just sitting here typing on this forum i have just had a crash again.
could it be a problem with an update windows has done?
EDIT - come to think of it, the game i was playing didnt like precision x so i closed it... maybe that is why i didnt get any crashes?

I have only really had a crash to desktop and driver stopped responding message maybe twice since getting my 980Ti a month ago, but I don't use Chrome I use Firefox.
Only issue I have is occasional micro stuttering in games like Assassin's Creed Black Flag.

Likewise, I also don't run Chrome, use Firefox.
Currently on 353.06 with a 780 Ti and they're rock solid for me.
Thats the thing my 780 was rock solid to. I never had issues but since getting my 980 ti the drivers has been crap. I just lost progression yet again in a game i play due to complete driver crash.
One time? no biggy.
Two times? annoying but **** happens.
Sixth time? ME=Ragemonster

Well, it's 100% MSI AfterBurner that's causing my issue. I disabled low-level monitoring and FireStrike Ultra will still crash after a few hours.
I tried EVGA PrecisionX this morning, and FireStrike looped for 3.5 hours before it crashed with " Error:
Workload Single init returned error message: DXGI call IDXGISwapChain::SetFullscreenState failed [-2005270494]://////The requested functionality is not supported by the device or the driver.//////DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLE". I was not running any sort of overlay, FRAPS, LogMeIn etc. in the background.
I guess I just won't be able to overclock my 980 Ti
EDIT: After reading this, I'll try to run FireStrike in windowed mode with PrecisionX open in the background. Don't think my issues are related to the Nvidia drivers so I'll stop posting in here
