So I get the error message "Display Driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 359.00 stopped responding and has successfully recovered" when playing some games.

I currently have a GTX 780Ti , Windows 10 64bit . I have tried so many solutions out there, clean install, registry edit solutions, going back to certain driver versions, none of which have worked, Is this really just an Nvidia issue where their drivers are just not working.

I have also read that underclocking it fixes it also, But im running all default speeds on my card so I dont see why I would have to underclock it for it to be "stable"

If anyone has had this issue and actually fixed it please help me out

I used to get this heaps with my gtx 770 OC , always when the card got too hot. i used a temp monitor that read the temps of the gpu, gpu memory, gpu vrm. As temps got high in the mem/vrm software failed. turning up gpu fans above 80% stopped it. or turning down the cards oc down to reference gpu settings stopped it also, either one. conclusion was temps as cause. Now i have another pc but using same 770, the case has hi flow fans up front and no obstructions, allows fans to cool gpu nicely and never has this happened again without the gpu fan/oc tweaks. And yes gpu temps seemed not too bad when it did this, so believe its the affect on gpu mem/vrm

The factories really pushed their overclocks to the edge of stability and cooling must be great

Yeah I kinda gathered it was that in all honesty, I noticed the temps were getting quite hot, and it is the gigabyte Ghz edition I got which people seem to have this issue with alot and heat issues, My case does have decent airflow but not enough apparently, I will try putting the fans up and seeing is that helps and might try putting a fan on the side right next to it.

Thanks for the reply mate.


edit: This is currently what my GPU clocks are on Gigabytes OC guru ( http://prntscr.com/994xzg )

what should I set it to for it to be reference setting ?

875/928 clocks. i would just back it up -100 from factory, that may be enough to be stable. Also just going manual fans on gpu to at least 65/70 % might keep you playing.
 
If cooling is the key to curing the error, then you may want to maximize the cooling. The best cooling for the card would be a water-block for the graphics card. Then either use a custom loop water cooling setup or one of the closed loop systems that can be customized. That offers the best cooling scenarios for the graphics card.
