Pulled this answer from a post very similar to yours. This was selected as the solution.

"from what i can see soon you exit games the drivers crash and due to monitor going crazy due to driver crash you cannot see the error, use driversweeper and remove all the drivers related to nvidia , if it does it... then possibility a GPU issue...if monitor is ok... but it seems more of a driver problem more then anything specialy if you able game with no problems also you could also re-install windows"

Before you re-install windows try the former of the ideas as well as what other people suggest.

This is with multiple games? Or just one?


UPDATE: Another solution from someone else with a similar issue.
"I was able to fix it by upgrading the bios on the video card. I made a post about it here, which is where you'll find the detailed solution. Hope it works for you! http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1924162/brand-freezes-exiting-game.html"

all games from cs:go to league of legends all the way up to Diablo 3, BF4, COD AW, and blade and soul and it has never crashed or shut down or even stuttered mid game its only after about 15-30 seconds alt tabing out or shutting down the game

im not to confident in messing with the bios on the card as i cant afford to brick the card as if i send it in to rma again as they instructed i do if the issue persists and im sure they can tell if it has been messed with right? so far both RMAs have only had about a week long turnaround and theyve stated that if this card doesnt work that they will look into other avenues(i hope a refund or different card of the same tier)

the first one(the one i purchased) worked beautifully for almost a bit over one year then just stopped being detected at all by my pc fans running and all. I sent it in via rma then after a week they sent me a refurbished card of the same then this issue occured so i sent the refurb card back now i just recieved yet another refurb card and still the same issue. i thought they sent me the same card but the last four of the s/n are different...

Try clearing CMOS. I mean since the first and second don't have the same issue, it makes me think card. But the fact that the second and third are the same make me think system. Wait to see if someone else knows what to do, if not RMA I guess.

Damn, that sucks. What GPU did you have before this one(if you had one). Do you still have it? See if it happens on there. If not you can confirm it's GPU issue. Or if it is a system issue, it's not with all cards.
