NVIDIA driver crashes and recovers during both general use and video

347.88 driver doesn't get TDRs.

Yes, try latest driver 359.00 It should fix your problems. You may uninstall anything older first, just in case.

I have installed 359.00 two days ago... Only got worse. I haven't had any crashes in about 8 hours now, though.
No overclocking whatsoever, ever.
Power supply is rather overkill for this GPU at 850W.

If it happens again, I'll install 347.88, as suggested by 'banger'.

I wish you luck...

The problem has returned yesterday, and now it crashes Photoshop whenever it happens, so I can't even do work stuff. Gonna try 347.88 and will report back if the problem returns. Regardless, I'm getting a GTX 960 today, for a new 4K TV.

UPDATE: OK, that was quick. Restarted after installing 347.88, and 20 seconds later it crashed. Hopefully it won't happen with the 960.

I was just informed that a new version of Forceware is available (359.06) Could it help?

That's if 347.88 was installed, windows has a tendency to replace 347.88 while its installing, check device manager driver number.

In that case disconnect from the Internet during the installation. Then connect again and run the show/hide tool to hide (block) the driver update.

Could be, didn't get the chance to check that. Got the 960, used DDU to completely remove and trace of NVIDIA software, installed the 960 and then the latest driver. Been 7 hours since, and so far so good, but I'll post again should it return.

Question on your Nvidia driver software. If its version 359.06 which is the latest for lots of the Nvidia cards. Have you run SFC /scannow after installing your new card and drivers?? Reason being, most people are finding out that after you update your Nvidia drivers to latest one, Windows will find corrupt files and Remove one of Nvidia's Opencl.dll files, and replace another one with a old windows opencl.dll driver. Just wondering if you have run into this problem, yet.
