Pretty sure new nvidia drivers (372.70) have huge memory leak issues

Tom Keenan · Sep 5, 2016

This isn't so much a question, because I think I answered it already but I figured I should get the word out. I recently installed the new gforce drivers (372.70) and all of a sudden my computer started freezing. At the time I had just installed a new SSD and was reinstalling all my steam games so I figured downloading 400+ gigs had just overloaded my system so I rebooted then went to bed but in the morning it was frozen again. I went into task manager and saw that I had 98% ram usage constantly with nothing open. When I reverted back to an older driver the problem went away. Anyway, it looks like they have an issue so if people are having a problem like me, hopefully this helps. If anyone has other ideas about what happened let me know.

Thank you for your post i too had problems with the same drivers. when I installed nvidia 372.70 drivers every time I played a game my computer will reboot in the middle of a game with no overclock of any kind and I could watch movies and surf the web with no problem at all but when I run Heaven Benchmark 4.0 my computer screen will go black and I still here my computer runnimg so I took the whole computer apart and tested every part in my other two computers and had no problem at all so I put the computer back together and removed the 372.70 drivers and went back to the 362.00 drivers and all was well again I so just to make sure I installed the drivers on another computer and the problems came back but only when I play gpu heavy games.
