"Display driver nvidia kernel mode driver stopped responding has successfully recovered". Never happens in game, but happens most of the time just a few seconds or so after I fully exit bf4.

Nothing is overclocked.

In my year of using Windows 7 with my system, I have never once gotten the above error (everything was 100% rock stable and perfect). Which leads me to believe it's either Windows 8.1 issue and/or the 331.58/331.65 drivers. Both 331.58 and 331.65 are having this problem.

8.1 installed freshly new after formatting hd (3 days ago). Windows 8 detected and installed a semi old Nvidia driver version. The very first driver I installed myself (for the first time after installing 8.1 with all the updates) was 331.58, and then I installed 331.65 on top if it after that. I did nothing else.

Temps are amazing and good. Way below 75c when playing bf4 for hours (both the cards).
 
Solution
You could always try doing a complete clean install of the latest drivers, during the installtion of the driver click custom installation , and check the check box for clean installation. See if that helps at all.

Bf4 has a ton of bugs atm. Like a lot. Especially with 8 sand 8.1. I wouldn't worry about it until at the moment as long as things are running. There are literally thousands of posts on the ea forums similar to yours. Go there to see if there is a solution, or wait out until the patches.
