353.06 and 352.86 are casuing A LOT of TDR issues for many people. You probably see a message that says either of the following in the lower right hand corner:

"nvlddmkm has stopped responding and successfully recovered"
"Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered"

I would suggest reverting back 350.12 or 347.52 (If 350.12 is unstable) for the meantime.

Im assuming the TDRs are happening during web browsing and sitting at the desktop.

Use DDU in safe mode to uninstall the current driver then install the driver version you're trying to roll back to, don't know if there are other ways out there but its the best one I can think of and it will do a clean install on the new driver(or the one you will install).

Same thing.. But i have a weird case. I'm not sure weather to make a new thread or what. But 3 things have happened.

1: Random CTD's ingame with the display driver crashing
2: this one, but the pc slowed down like literally slow motion before stopping.. even sounds!!!
3: The pc randomly turned the screen to Static like on the tv. ( could have been netflix related as that was what caused it )

These have all been due to The Drivers.. But i've had thsi for months...
