Nvidia Driver Unstable

Not sure if this goes to graphicscards or drivers,

Over the past years i had many troubbles with nvidia drivers, crashes, freezes, stuttering, graphics & visual glitches, what are some good sources to inform yourself about a specific nvidia driver version to make sure prior to updating that it is considered stable?
Before updating i want to be sure there will be no issues as it happened so many times in the past.

That should not be happening which means you maybe overclocked and/or have an overheating Card.
There are basically two lines of drivers, Studio Ready and Game Ready.
The more stable drivers are the Studio Ready line.

When you download the driver you can also download the Driver Release Notes (PDF). That details all the fixes/problems.

Okay. This didnt help.
I always get the "recommended/certified" drivers, which doesnt change anything about what i said in the og post.

You have to check your hardware, basics first.
Check temperatures under load of both the CPU and Graphics Card and then you move on to other checks.

To separate Graphics Card use Integrated Graphics temporarily.
e.g. If that is stable then you know it is a Graphics Card problem.

If it is still the same then you need to do various checks on MOBO hardware.
Maybe start with CPU temperature checks.

You have not said what checks you have already done, the results in concrete numbers, not just yes.

Ha??? cpu and gpu are doing fine as the rest of the system there are no imaginary temps issues or anything of any kind...
The current driver is working alright but at some point i will want to update and prior to that i wantto check if its reported to be stable or not its thats simple....... can you help with that comes down to yes or no

as big as this forum is surely there has to be someone aware of where to go when you want details about driver releases in terms of stability, somewhere out there has to be someone doing tests and reports, something like gamersnexus but purely for nvidia driver releases

That latest one (551.52) is stable.
