I built my pc back in early October and have not had any issues at all with my gtx 970. I have been playing every game I want fine including Battlefront which came out yesterday. No problems. Then randomly today I'm playing Team Fortress 2 for a good 45 minutes, no issues, and it randomly black screens but I can still hear myself shooting and other sounds in the game. So I end the task. And I get a message that Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. So I assumed I needed to update the driver.
So I opened device manager in windows 10 and updated my graphics card through the way I'd done it in the past. When I restarted the computer and attempted to open Google chrome, the window opens but is still transparent where I can see my wallpaper. Then I get a black screen and the message comes up again that says Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 358.91 stopped responding and has successfully recovered. It shows up multiple times.
This happens when I open any program such as Google Chrome league of legends, any game on Steam or Origin. However for some reason I can run Steam client, browse friends, Library and store. As well as in Origin. Yet when I try to play the games, I get that driver notification again. I tried running the geforce experience, that pulls up the same problem. The programs will not run and I have to close them, then get like 7 of those messages on my screen over and over.
I can navigate windows just fine and things like control panel files or device manager. But if I try to run a program like Google Chrome, or a game, I get the problem and can't use it.
Update: I decided to run the computer in safe mode and use the DDU program to uninstall the drivers, then I reinstalled them in normal mode, I still get the issue only difference is since I was using chrome without display drivers, when i reinstalled the drivers it kept chrome open, so I can use chrome to do stuff, but I still get the error when trying to launch games. And I know if I were to close Chrome it wouldnt open again. It makes no sense because I have chrome open, I'm using it, and I can watch videos on it in hd full screen, so what is the issue here...
Also i tried installing an older driver, which is what I'm on now, it is still having the same issue, I have no idea what to do at this point, but it's getting very irritating and I really want to fix this tonight.
