"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"...help !

[denzy2612]

Hi guys !
I am keep facing the issue of "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" while using Chrome (Gaming is ok, never see once when gaming). I am using the latest nvidia driver (download via Nvidia Geforce Experience) which is 353.06. I have window 8.1 pro and Gtx 980Ti and this problem keeps showing !
Can anyone help me to get rid of it ?
Thanks in advance !

Is it in any chrome operation?
If it's in anything that calls forth flash/silverlight/etc it might be you have to update the add-ons.
If it's something that occurs on the google.com main page . . . I don't know what it is.

Meh! just roll back your driver to 347.88.
Any drivers above that version will causes random crashes (driver stopped responding) on Chrome, Firefox, VLC, Windows Desktop, during games, etc.
This issue is already known to almost all nVidia GPU owners (including me) on Win7 and Win8/8.1.
Just roll back and everything should be fine again.

Will rolling back cause you decreasing in performance ? (not as good as the latest driver)

Performance? Several few fps in Witcher 3, yes not really noticeable tho'.
What would performance do if your rig crashes here and there very often?

did rolling back to 347 fix it? i rolled back to 350.12 and its still crashing

350.12 crashes are still here and there but not as often as the newer versions.
on 347.88, I do not see any crashes at all.
This could be different from pc to pc tho'.
