Brand new GTX 750 Ti, experiencing same "NVIDIA Driver stopped responding"..etc

[SOV]

I had a GTX 750 and I was being plagued with screen blackouts while playing League of Legends. My GTX 750 Ti came in today and I installed it, and in my second game my screen blacked out 2-3 times in 3 mins. Before, when I had the 750, I've done tons of trouble shooting, memory tests came up fine, no errors on my SSD, reinstalled my OS (win 10), solved sfc scan problems, and so I thought that it has come down to a faulty graphics card. I had this GTX 750 for a year now and i started to experience this issue about 7-8 months after assembling this PC. The temperatures are fine.

did you check the event log for the errors? I had some problems that were resolved by reinstalling direct x

 

[SOV]

My event logs show the errrors, what should I do there. I'll try reinstalling direct x.

Hmm, how would I reinstall DirectX. I tried a runtime web installer and it said that a newer or equivalent has been detected and no installation is necessary. I have DirectX 12

 

[Bigj73nsb]

Have you tried to put your GPU in a different PCIe slot?

 

[SOV]

I only have 1 slot that this graphics card can fit in.

It's really bad now. It's ruining my games and it's worse than when I had the GTX 750 in. I'm constantly experiencing screen blackouts in game and whenever the game client is open.

 

[Bigj73nsb]

Is your screen just blacking out, or are you getting crashes also?? Is your monitor hooked up to your GPUs HDMI or DVI ports? Which ever ports you are hooked up through, try switching to the other and see what happens?

Well, it's been about 3 days and I put in a lot of games so far. I've experienced no blackouts at all since I implemented some fixes from this website.

Though, I've done the registry fix, the program 'Driver Talent" came up with a driver labeled 'Stable' dating from July 2015. I had the most recent driver from March 1st, 2016. So I did a clean install of this 'Stable' driver and I also updated my bios. The installation of the stable driver and bios update probably fixed my problem (leaning towards the stable driver), and I've not experienced any blackout or video issue since then. I find it odd because I've never seen any driver software labeled as 'Stable' on the NVIDIA site, but only on this program (Driver Talent). Oh, and driver talent is a free program that checks to see if you have out of date drivers .

 

[Bigj73nsb]

Good find on your part! Yes it is always best to wipe old GPU drivers when installing new. I haven't checked out this driver talent link yet, but I will definitely check it out

 

[SOV]

Guess it's solved for me now. Well I also used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller is a driver removal utility that can help you completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system, without leaving leftovers behind (including registry keys, folders and files, driver store) and used clean install using the most up to date drivers from NVIDIA and that didn't help. So Yeah I'm definitely leaning towards the stable driver.
