Hello, I am having trouble with my GeForce GT 430 graphics card.

Every time I play a game, or just watch something on Windows Media Player, my drivers crash after a little bit.

I am using the latest drivers available at the moment, and there are no other betas.

Specs:
- Intel Core i5-3570k @3.4GHz (default)
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 1GB
- ASRock Z77 Extreme6
- 500W Thermaltake TR2

Any ideas on how I can stop this from happening?

Please answer as soon as possible.

Hi!

Did you try reinstalling the driver?If yes then take out the card,remove the dust,clean carefully the PCIe lane with an antistatic towel/handkerchief.
Test your VGA with FurMark,Video Memory Stress Test.If you have the problem after cleaing maybe it could be the RAM or the PSU.Borrow a PSU from a friend and test you PC with it.The RAM: you can test it with memtest86 Hope it helped :)

Microsoft delivered a WIN-7 GT-430 video driver update ~February. Immediately afte,r the browser would crash upon opening - no matter IE or FireFox. It's taken me 3 months to track this down to the NVIDIA 1/2013 driver. Using device manager, I rolled back to NVIDIA | 10/2/2012 | 9.18.13.697 to restore functionality
