Hi there.

A while ago (like 3 weeks) I bought an Asus GTX 770 DCU2 OC and it just runs like a dream. Lately I have been running without geforce experience, because of a minor issue I'm having.
When I had the Geforce experience installed, my screen would turn black for 1-3 seconds every time I would start Geforce experience or run a program that needed approval for running (like if it was set to admin).
But without Geforce experience it runs perfectly fine.
So my question to you is, is it Geforce Experince that is faulty or is it my GPU? Or could it be one of my other components that has a fault?

Hope you can help, and if I need to be a bit clearer just ask :)

And I forgot one thing. This only happens when I'm connected through the DVI-port and not the HDMI.
I also have an AOC G2460 144 Hz monitor. Hopes this helps a bit?

I have the exact same problem. Running on a GTX 670 and two AOC G2460P monitors, connected with DVI. Running at 144Hz.

Both my monitors turns black for 3 seconds when:
-Opening Geforce experience.
-Once or twice every 2-3 hours.

This doesn't happen when I'm running the monitors through HDMI, but then I can't operate them at 144Hz:\
I'm currently running Windows 8.1 after converting from Windows 7. Same problem on both OS.
I tried lowering the update frequency to 60Hz. Problem still remains.

Did you find any solution for your problem?

No i didn't find any solution to the problem and I don't think it's reason enough to RMA the card.
The thing I am doing now, is that I have uninstalled Geforce Experience and then manually install the drivers.
However, if you come across another solution, then plz type an answer to this thread :)

Simple to say I have never installed geforce experience on my pc ever when it was first launched and never had bsods or similar problems like you.

So to answer simply nvidia experience is malware even though nvidia says its not. Do not ever install it.

It's not the card. It's the software. I think they need to update the software.
I uninstalled GeForce experience and never used it. Don't see any significant reason why you should install it anyway.
