I've got an EVGA 980 Ti Hybrid and I've been noticing that it crashes every once in a while. I've been playing a lot of Diablo III, but I've noticed it happening with other games as well.

I'm on Windows 8.1, my CPU is an AMD 8350 OC'd to 4.6ghz, 32gbs of RAM, PSU is 850w.

I had my 980 Ti OC'd just a little bit for a while, but recently took it off to see if it'd help. It doesn't seem like it helped at all. Is there any sort of fix for this? It's getting quite old.

I'm guessing it's a driver issue, but is there anything I can do to at least lessen these crashes?

What do you mean it's crashing?
The driver crashes?
The game crashes and an error comes up or is there no error?
What PSU do you have exactly? Telling me it has 850W is like telling me your car has 4 wheels.
Are you running an XMP on your RAM?
Have you tried disabling the overclock on your CPU?
If you are running an XMP, have you tried disabling it?
Are you temperatures running okay?
Have you tried using DDU in safe mode and then a reinstall of the GPU driver through GeForce?

Well, so far I've only crashed once, as opposed to crashing every couple of hours (Sometimes even sooner). So while I won't say it's completely fixed, it's a lot better for now.

I've tried disabling my overclock, and it doesn't seem to help any. In Metal Gear Solid V, it straight up freezes on me at one part (Not sure if that's on me, or the game itself), but in the game Tropico 5, it kept crashing on me until I lowered the settings.

What is XMP, if I may ask?

The RAM I'm using is the G.SKILL TridentX Series, I originally bought 1 set (2x8GB sticks) then bought another set about a year later, same kind.

I wasn't having any problems when I had my 2 680 4GBs in SLI or before that when I had just a single 680 4GB. My problems have only begun since upgrading to my 980 Ti Hybrid.

This is all I get when my games crash:

Haha that's actually pretty funny.. I had the same issue with the same RAM. I would always get the display driver crashing on me with the exact message (other than the driver version obviously). What I did was disabled XMP.

XMP is basically overclocking your RAM to the manufacturer advertised setting. Problem is that in this case you have an AMD rig. XMP is an Intel thing. Now, what you need to try to do is first off, see what your current memory speed is right now. Then, if it's not running at 1333 or 1600, you need to go into your BIOS and figure out how to clock it back. Make sure your voltage is 1.5v when you do so.

If that doesn't work, remove the 2x8GB kit you bought and then see if that does the trick.

Hope this fixes it

My RAM's speed is 1866Mhz, should I underclock it to 1600? Also, as I said before, I wasn't have ANY problems when I was running on my 2 680 4GB cards in SLI. If the problem is the RAM, why would it be showing now? (I bought my last pair about a year ago, and upgraded to the 980 Ti Hybrid at the end of July). I'll go double check it and all, and even bring it down to 1600Mhz though.

Only thing that I have changed so far is lowering some of the settings in game (Turning shadows off, and whatnot). Haven't crashed since, so I'm wondering if it's just a driver issue?

Yeah, besides the crashing I was having, which I'm guessing was because I was using Precision X, I love it. The card stays very cool, makes little noise, and runs games great. I'm only playing at 1080p, which is hella overkill for this card, but I've heard it performs very well at higher resolutions.
