Hey guys, I'm having black screen problem when I'm running certain games and FurMark @ 1080 FHD Preset. I'm using the MSI GTX 970 and I've been using it for about 6 months now. The black screen problem is always followed by an error message sound and I figured out the error messages.

For Furmark I got "Error Code 7, A TDR has been detected. The Application must close".
For my games, the first one is quite weird, it shows "The 'NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970' device is not removeable and cannot be ejected or unplugged".
The other error is "Error Code 3, Unable to recover from a kernel exception. The Application must close."

I've tried clean re-install and update drivers but none of them worked.
Any information would be greatly appreciated guys

Cheers!
 
What graphics driver version are you using? This is most likely a driver issue. If the latest (358.91) isn't working for you , then use one of the older ones that was working.

I haven't updated my driver for a while. For what it is worth, I'm still using 355.82. I have had zero issues on my Asus Strix GTX 970.

By the way 355.82 is from August 31, 2015, so it isn't ancient.
