My system consists of:
i7-4790k Haswell Quad-Core @ 4.0 GHz
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z97
EVGA G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770
CORSAIR RM Series RM850 850W

I downloaded the current drivers (340.52) for my GeForce GTX 770 graphics card and the screen resolution is way too wide. I tried to open the NVIDIA control panel but it crashes and says the "NVIDIA Control Panel Application, 7.8.760.0 has stopped working." I'm not too sure on what to do and I could really use some assistance. Thank you if you respond. Oh, and I'm using Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate.

Might try uninstalling all the nvidia programs and then reinstall, had a similar problem recently with a 780TI

Go to nvidia site and download the nvidia 335.23 driver. I had same problem plus some progs' wont run. There are a number of mentions on the net about this driver and I am not the only one to go back to earlier version to sort it out. Maybe the next update will be OK. This has happened with previous updates in the past.

I ran CCleaner to remove all of the old drivers. I then restarted and downloaded the 335.23 driver and my NVIDIA Control Panel still won't open due to the Appcrash. I'll try downloading the driver right after the 335.23 and see if that hopefully works.

Download 'Process Monitor' from here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb89664...

Filter nvcplui.exe so you don't see all the other processes. Then, run nivida control panel and monitor nvcplui.exe interactions in the process monitor. It doesn't like to read long or abstracted file names and crashes out while doing so. And you should be able to spot the file or folder that is giving you the issue.

I downloaded the Process Monitor and in the filter tab, I didn't see the nvcplui.exe which of course is the App name for the NVIDIA control panel. So now I'm at a standstill with what could possibly fix this because I'm not sure what to do in the Process Monitor.

I also tried running the "SFC /SCANNOW" command in the cmd but everything was reported fine. I then went back in the Device Manager, clicked on display adapters, then my GTX 770 and went into the properties. What I found in the general tab is that it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)." I hope this is the main issue causing my GPU not to work.

Op, did you update your motherboard bios? If not, please flash it right away and that could be the resolution.

Yep, my mobo bios is updated. The NVIDIA control panel still won't open due to crashing and the GPU gets a code 43 error in the device manager.

I bet you anything it is the Heaven benchmark. Delete it and problem solved if that is the case. I had the same issue. Thanks everyone for the tip on using process monitor. Also if you aren't finding any data while using control panel it is because you have to filter by process name.
