I got an EVGA GTX 770 1GB (Superclocked) graphics card Christmas of 2013. I've always had drivers issues, game just crash. Alot of the time without any error message. I play CSGO ALOT and I occasionally get an error telling me a driver has stopped responding but successfully recovered. I don't play many other games but when I do EVERY game I've played will eventually just crash and parts of my screen will go black. It has been happening far more frequently this last few months on games like BF3, BF4, Saints Row IV, Evolve, Portal 2, Garry's mod and GTA IV. Not too sure what to do.
 
Are you sure it's drivers and not a faulty card? What are your temps like? What's the PSU that your using? Maybe you can try underclocking the card back to 770 stock Non-SC speeds. It could be that your particular card left the factory and isn't quite able to reach the advertised speeds. If it works then, you found your problem.
 


I guess it could be, temps are fine idles at ~30. Coolermaster GX 650w PSU, I could try unlocking it though
