Whenever I go to play a game or am already playing it I get a severe stutter in audio followed by the game crashing, then i get the following error message. "Display driver INVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 361.43 stopped responding and has successfully recovered" and no matter how many times I re-open the game (it does it to all of them) it still does the same thing and shows the same error message.

I've uninstalled the graphics drivers fully and reinstalled them, I've also gone back to earlier graphic drivers as well. I'm stuck at what to do.

For information purposes I'm using SLI 770's with an i7 3770k not overclocked

I can try a single card, but i've literally never had this issue before, and I've always used SLI. Its going to piss me off, if a GPU is going out.

try it mate and see what happens, if one of them crashes try the other, if that one crashes its deffo the drivers, if not then you know one of the gpus is on its way out.

im pretty far back on the drivers, i was getting the same issue as you but on chrome.

im on driver version 359.06

Just tried them both out, still crashing almost instantly, and I didn't have the issue on the drivers before, so I went back to the previous ones and I get the issue on them as well, NVIDIA has always been crappy when releasing new drivers but I don't know what else to think unless literally both of the cards are shitting the bed

I went as far back as 359.00 and still had the issue

thats deffo not good, they cant both be going out, if you have windows on one drive and all your other things on another, id suggest a windows reinstall.

Thats a real pain in the ass in its self, considering I don't have anything to do it with, no flash drive to put it on or anything, but it still doesnt make sense, everything was peachy up until today, worked fine last night, had no issues playing Fallout 4 or The Witcher 3, so why do it now? Literally nothing has changed, and it only does it when it comes to games, I can do anything else, watch streams, browse the web, but just when it comes to games it decides to shit on me

The ones I've tried yes, which varys from The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, CSGO -Actually caused my rig to restart- and thats really all I play, funny considering I have a steam value over 2K. But I was literally playing Fallout 4 12 hours ago without issues.

this makes no sense o_O, it must be your psu failing to provide power to your gpu, especially if your pc is suddenly restarting, unless your cpu is overheating.
