Hello,

I've made a thread earlier to find out what the problem was why my pc was getting random laggspikes without noticing or doing anything differently then i normally do.

After a lot of troubleshooting and research for days I've found out its the Nvidia drivers (388.00 not certain) and up defenitely do cause my entire system to freeze up and i have to unplug the power.

Nvidia confirmed this to me, although im a rare case and they haven't had anyone else tell them about this yet.

I run a MSI GTX970 gaming 4gb on driver 388.10 now and it took like 5 days but the crashes started again, the only reason why i dont stick to 387.92 now is because you need atleast 388.10 to play wolfenstein 2.

Is there anyone else out here who might have experienced this same issue before with older new drivers?

And possibly give me some help?

Thanks.

The issue you're facing has been the same with pretty much any owner in the past. If you're not familiar there was a case where 7000-8000 series and prior cards were burned due to a glitch in the GPU drivers released. Nvidia posted an apology but some had to revert to their backup cards.

In your case, if older driers are more stable then you're going to need to wait for Nvidia to release a revised driver in the following weeks. The other ting you could do is to see if you can play the game with older drivers. I don't believe you can't play it all. On another note, might I ask where you got your copy of the game?

We're also going to need your full system's specs and your OS to double check it's not hardware related. Also make sure you're on the latest BIOS revision for your motherboard.

Thank you for this clarification, i couldn't find a single topic on it on Google, although as mentioned i put RARE ISSUE in the title because of the fact that no other user has reported with this exact issue from what they've told me.

387.92 is still the best option for me in my own opinion and experience,

its a steam game copy,

and yes my BIOS is outdated, its been a long time since i've flashed it and I'm kinda scared to flash it again since it went wrong before.

my current total rig:
CM G750M
I5 4690k @3.5ghz
CM h110i v2 extreme performance
Msi gtx970 gaming 4gb
crucial ballistix sport vlp 1600mhz 4x4gb
Asus z97-P

1| I think you mean Corsair H110i v2 in that list
2| Are all the sticks of ram from a Crucial kit or is it mixed and matched?
3| How do you mean that it went wrong? What BIOS revision number are you on right now?
4| OS?
5| steam game copy = you got it off of steam?
