    Graphics driver randomly stops working.


    Sometimes my graphics driver will stop working. A restart will usually fix it, but it is inconvenient. This never happened until I installed a fresh Windows install onto my new SSD (Upgraded from HDD). Before that, I had no trouble. Currently using NVIDIA driver version 397.31. About to upgrade to 397.64 to see what happens.

    Symptoms:
    • Windows Ink Workspace Screen Sketch will be unavailable.
    • Some games will either not launch or have graphical errors
    • Online videos (YouTube, imgur, Reddit, etc.) will not work or display incorrectly.

    Specs:
    • i3-3220
    • GTX 1060 6GB
    • 8GB RAM
