My Graphic card seems to keep crashing and no idea why. I updated everything. I am monitoring it with GPU-Z, but no overheat, also 2 of the last 3 crashes happened while just reading the web*google searching and steam website

Now sure how to downgrade the driver, since I use GeForce update for updating, do you have a link? And crashes have been random for the past 2 drivers if I recall. But most problematic since the current driver
