Hello,
When playing games, my display driver sometimes suddenly stops working. My setup is:

CPU: AMD Athlon x4 860k
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-D3H
RAM: 8gb DDR3
GPU: asus gtx650ti-oc-2gd
triple 1280*1024 monitors with Nvidia surround

Any tips?

I used to get this heaps with my gtx 770 OC , always when the card got too hot. i used a temp monitor that read the temps of the gpu, gpu memory, gpu vrm. As temps got high in the mem/vrm software failed. turning up gpu fans above 80% stopped it. or turning down the cards oc down to reference gpu settings stopped it also, either one. conclusion was temps as cause. Now i have another pc but using same 770, the case has hi flow fans up front and no obstructions, allows fans to cool gpu nicely and never has this happened again without the gpu fan/oc tweaks. And yes gpu temps seemed not too bad when it did this, so believe its the affect on gpu mem/vrm

The factories really pushed their overclocks to the edge of stability and cooling must be great
