My 'Display drivers' keep crashing, can anyone help?

[TomHatton3]

This is my first build and I bought a gtx 760. The dirvers I have used are the GeForce 337.88 Driver but it keeps crashing and saying the display ports have crashed but have been restored. It then sometimes crashes the computer entirely and means I have to reset it. Can anyone help please? Thank you

Hi,

You most likely have your CPU overheating or your PSU is too weak for the card.

What's you full specs, download coretemp / hwmonito and msi afterburner to check you temps.

where I say new card just remove and reset the card your using now

start computer as normal-- got to add/remove programs--- uninstall all your old cards drivers and add on programs for the card--- shut down and then reboot back to desktop normally [ i dont like to do safemode here cause it my hide an issue ] and it should be running on the windows default driver to check-- go to device manager-display- right click your card [it may just say generic vga ] - property's - driver - and see that driver provider is microsoft- if so shut down and turn off psu switch unplug it wait a min or so push the power button like you normally do to start the computer to see if its discharged-- [if the computer comes on for like a second or two and dies it now discharged] then remove your old card and install the new card as proper install instructions show for your new card-- when you got everything in order and installed correctly [monitor and all] put power back to the psu turn on switch start up computer normally and let it boot to desktop and it should be running on windows default drivers if it looks good with no issues install your new cards drivers and reboot as prompted. and hopefully all will be good to go. i like to download the driver from nvidia/amd to a file on the desktop and install it from there
