Today this issue started occurring. My screen suddenly turns black and then reappears 1-2 seconds later and i get the message "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" in the bottom left (taskbar). My computer was very dusty so i cleaned it and the issue still persists. I'm not sure what to do, i've tried following google help guidelines but nothing is working. If someone can help me i'd greatly appreciate it.
Specs:
Gpu: EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX780 Superclocked ACX Cooler 3GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (PCI Express 3.0, HDMI, DVI-I, DVI-D, Display Port, 384-Bit, 2560x1600, Nvidia 3D Vision Ready)
cpu: i5 4670k
motherboard: asus z97a
hdd: 1tb
ram: 8gb
OS: Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.
direct x 11.
Monitor: UH85_U32H85xUM (DP) - using 3820x2160 32bit at 60hz
PSU: EVGA 600w Bronze PC power supply
Fan: Cooler master hyper 212 EVO

I've had this pc for 5 years, and it's worked perfectly fine until today. I'm not sure why my GPU is acting up, if my gpu is the issue as i'm not sure but from what i've read, it seems to be the problem. Also can not having the synaptics smbus driver installed cause this issue? ran a driverchecker and it told me i was missing that and also intel 8series/c220 chipset family sata ahci controller, though i don't know if these even have anything to do with my issue as these won't installed before and i had no issues until today. I've also turned powersaving off as i read somewhere that could cause this to happen, but that hasn't made any difference. Also i've installed the latest gpu driver which i did after the issue started occurring. Nothing was changed and suddenly this problem started so i'm sure it's not because of any changes. Every PC part is as bought, nothing is overclocked or anything like that.
