Hello,
Since putting together my new rig I have been having multiple display driver crashes daily. You know the one "Nvidia display driver has stopped responding and recovered."
I uninstalled driver 335.23 and also used Driver Sweeper to make sure it was a full uninstall. I then re-installed 331.82 hoping an older driver would be more stable. No luck, still getting 3-5 second black screens and the display driver notice. Note: I have not overclocked the 650Ti at all, it is at stock settings.
Now I am wondering if overclocking my CPU has anything to do with the display driver problem? I have overclocked my i7 3770k to 4.2ghz and when I run a stress test all is well.
The display seems to mostly when I am just running simple tasks in Windows, or just in my browser. I don't think the display driver has ever crashed while playing a game. I also have not had any blue screens to speak of.
I have just recently reset the CPU to stock settings and will wait to see if I get anymore display driver crashes. However, I would really love to keep my i7 overclocked if possible. Any experience or advise in this matter is greatly appreciated!
My build
PSU: Rosewill 900w
CPU: i7 3770k
GPU: GTX 650Ti
Mobo: ASRock z77 extreme4
Memory: Corsair 16GB 1600
