Hello Guys,
I recently found out that my dual monitor setup was causing my nvidia driver to crash when playing graphic intensive games.
When I play a game I only have it on my primary monitor ( usually in fullscreen ) and on my 2nd monitor I either have a browser open or nothing. However over the last few month I had various problem when during certain games I would get the error: the nvidia driver "driver version" has crashed and recovered. This would either crash the game or cause display bugs.
I had already reinstalled the newest nvidia driver.
Reinstalled the games
Changed my 2 SSDs from a raid to normal setup
Reinstalled windows.
Now when I tried to play Evolve today the game crashed after about 7 to 8 minutes I searched the internet for other solutions and found a suggestion on this site that the problem might be with the dual monitor setup.
So I disconnected 1 monitor and tada no more crashes. I played evolve for an hour and no issues.
So my question is: Am I missing any settings either in the nvidia system control or elsewhere so I can still have my 2nd monitor connected and the game just turns it off or anything else so I dont have to disconnect my 2nd monitor when playing graphic intensive games.
TLDR:
How to I get my 2nd monitor not to crash graphic intensive games.
