Display driver has stopped working and has recovered

[Charlie Forbes]

Hey i recently came into a bit of trouble with my graphics card, its an ASUS 770 2g ive had it for 2 years now and its worked perfectly fine, but everytime i go on a website or a game my display driver crashes and my screen flickers black and i have to use control panel to shut down the game or page im on, if i don't close it down quick enough the computer blue screens and restarts, ive tried updating my graphics drivers and uninstalling them i have come to no conclusion on how to fix the problem, the only thing that works is opening my GPU tweak and turning down the GPU clock and memory clock of my graphics card, this allows me to browse and play some games on varying levels but the framerate suffers and the card is practically useless, any idea's ?

Because the gpu is the factory-OC, it may not run stable anymore overtime due to overheat, or something else. Or maybe the PSU may have problem too.
Do you try increase the voltage? Do you check the temp? Or may contact asus because the GPU has three year limited warranty.

I think it has something to do with nvidias new drivers. This started happening to me too after upgrading drivers few driver versions ago.

Lot of people having this problem in nvidias forums

Disabling my overclock on the gpu seemed to help a bit.

I would not worry about it if its not too distracting.
