Hi, I have a problem where some games (including Witcher 3) crash with a black screen using 352.86 driver and the only thing that shows up and functions is the taskbar. It always shows that the game is still running and if i try to open task manager to close the game and get rid of the black screen, the task manager in the taskbar shows up but the black screen covers it in the actual desktop so I can't use it. In the end i'm always forced to restart my computer to restore everything to normal. I also get "display driver crashed and has recovered" errors while watching Twitch on Google Chrome. I would try to reroll drivers but the thing is, I actually want to play the Witcher 3 and unfortunately this is the only driver that runs the game well. I always monitor temperatures and keep everything up to date so don't bother asking. Nothing is overclocked besides the CPU, but it has been overclocked for a very long time without any issues until recently, no temperature problems either. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver using Display Driver Uninstaller several times and it didn't help. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or is getting a similar issue?

I would but this means that I can not play the Witcher 3 like I mentioned. I always choose clean install. I just want to know if there is a way to figure out whether this is a driver related issue or is it my computer. The crashes don't happen very often so I could put up with it. Just wanta make sure my pc is okay.
 
nVidia driver 352.86 is a big pile of sh*t!
Witcher 3, Firefox, VLC, etc. caused my GTX970 random crashes since the the time I installed it.
Rolled it back to older version before 352.86 and the crashes are gone.
I tried 347.88 (most stable) and 350.12.
nVidia has just starting to deliver pile of sh*t!
Try to have the latest up2date driver they say, it should be fun they say...well..kiss ma *ss!


hmmm...GTX980 2GB? Is that even avilable? I thought you can get only 4GB for GTX980?

Sorry lol that was a typo, it's 4gb not 2 lol. I have been so hyped to play this game and I reallly want to finish it. I might just try and put up with this driver until I finish the game then I'll roll back.
