**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Getting flickering with gsync with 355.98 :( and some games randomly stutter for a few moments now and then as if they are about to crash to desktop but then recover. First set I've had issues with so far out of all the "problem" drivers lately.

EDIT: Getting FPS drops in BF4 as well - places where I held 120fps easy before are sometimes dropping down to ~94.

Its not really a bug - 144Hz requires higher clocks to be able to process the bandwidth requirements of that resolution/refresh rate.
 
I can't get Geforce Experience installed on Windows 10 with my 780.

Each time is says "Installation Failed"

Is there a known issue?

I've deleted Nvidia Folders, booted into safe mode and tried that, took me about 10 different methods/attempts to get a driver installed.

You tried the obvious DDU first and cleared all the Nvidia drivers?

That is the latest (if you haven't tied it already)

Ran into a somewhat similar problem ever since I got Windows 10 up and running. Installation fails for GFE, or it simply hangs on the splashscreen when launching (only way to exit is to kill Geforce Backend service in the task manager).

Only way around it is to avoid installing GFE as part of the install of new drivers, and separately install an old version of GFE (think its 1.7 something off the top of my head - haven't got it in front of me).
That launches just fine, and will update to the latest after a few seconds, which in turn runs without any problems.

Fed up banging my head against it until the next time I install Windows10 from scratch (probably something related to other support software rather than a Nvidia problem), so that's the process I follow when installing new drivers.
 
Hi,

I've a question regarding the Nvidia drivers that have been released post August 2015.

I'm running Windows 10 home 64bit (retail edition) and have an Asus Strix gtx970. My mobo is an X99 sli a krait edition and 5820 cpu. 750w super flower psu and 16gb ddr 4 2400 ram. AIO 240mm cooling and phanteks enthoo luxe case.

Since installing everything I have been experiencing hard lock ups intermittently and now they only occur when gaming. I have all the latest manufacturers drivers for all components and the mobo bios etc is up to date. I've seen a few posts elsewhere where others have had similar problems.

I have tried running the card at out of the box spec as well as fully overclocked via afterburner. Same issue. It makes me believe that it is a graphics card driver issue. I was using the same card in my previous windows 7 machine and it ran fine with an aggressive overclock.

I'm running out of ideas to try to troubleshoot the problem and am hoping that someone can offer some suggestions?
 
The Psu is brand new. The lock ups have been occurring since I built the machine and installed windows 10. Thing is that I've spent a lot of time searching the Internet and I'm not alone with this type of problem. Makes me believe that it is driver related and it's strange that only occurs when gaming.

I'm hoping that the big windows 10 update due in October may solve the issue. I guess I have a very expensive internet browsing machine right now :-/
