Specs:
CPU: i5-2500k
MB: Asus p8z68-v
GPUs: HD 6850 and GTX 680
OS Drive: Samsung 840 256gb
OS: Windows 10

Ever since I upgraded to windows 10 it seems that more and more frequently my display driver will crash and recover. It mostly happens when I'm playing games because I've ran stress tests to see if heat or load would cause it to fail and I had no errors at all for any tests. I also tested my cpu to see if that would somehow cause the issue but nothing.

This issue seems to be random and it cant be my PSU because it is a 750 watt corsair and when it first started happening, I was using my Radeon HD 6850 which has complete different power connectors than the gtx 680. Even after switching to the 680 I kept getting the same errors.

I suspect its my mother board and its possible incompatibility with Windows 10.

What do guys think?

The issue was happening with the 6850 already so removing the drivers wouldn't fix it. Incidentally the uninstall exe didn't exist so I used the clean up utility after I installed my 680. I also reinstalled the nvidia drivers and the Radeon ones when I had my 6850 in my computer. The driver crashes happened before the 680 and are still happening.

Yes because on the ASUS website when looking for motherboard drivers it says that this motherboard is in a grouping of motherboards that "may or may not be supported by windows 10 updates from Microsoft". Asus themselves won't put out any drivers for the motherboard to support issues like this. I believe I saw elsewhere that this motherboard has issues with windows 10 and graphics cards. I'm not too certain though.

So I'm definitely interested in this as I'm having similar issues with my computer.

One difference is that I was having the issues before I upgraded to Windows 10 but now that I have the problems have only gotten worse. I'm running the following.....

EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1563-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support

and

ASUS P8P67 DELUXE (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
 
you running enough power for this card? what is the PSU?
guessing drivers are up to date for motherboard & GPU from manufacturer's sites?
