Nvidia driver 353.62 still crashing...

[Riptorz]

So ive uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstalled this driver maybe 40 times so far to hope it works, i've updated my entire system and im still getting crashes on everything i do, whether its 5 mins, or 3 hours. This is really starting to irritate me. Does anyone know a solution?

Methods i've tried
Uninstalling manually, reinstalling manually
Uninstalling via ASC (advanced system care) reinstalling via geforce experience
Uninstalled via DDU, reinstalling via Windows update
Uninstalling via computer driver settings, installing via USB
Completely wiping my computer, reinstalling via USB, Geforce experience, Windows update
I've tried every thing, is it me or is this driver completely broken?

Specs
Windows 10 OS
Dell XPS
core 2 quad
GT 610
4 GB ddr2 Corsair dominator memory
400w Rosewill PSU

right, i've used ddc (display driver uninstaller) to completely remove the latest driver 353.62 and I've then installed another old version (341.44) - so far so good....

Update: Sh... forgot to turn off Auto-Update - hmpf! had to reinstall old driver again, but it seems to work for me...

auto update can't be turned off via w10..

it can: Win10-Pro :-/ (German instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3Ztfi9K0ac)

@ Riptorz: I'm using an Intel Core 2Duo CPS with 3GHz

 

[Riptorz]

Yep, all the reports i read were intel chipsets. And i read some reports on AMD and their driver is doing fine from what i can tell.

Same problem here, I also tried the 353.30 Nvidia driver, but same issue. Also Intel Chipset. I hope they fix this soon, but I dont know if I will be waiting or rerolling Windows 8 already..

I had a similar issue when I just upgraded to windows 10. I had the black-screen-of-death. Has anyone tried to upgrade the drivers of the iGPU from Intel's site to see if this will fix this? I have a feeling that the mixed graphics mode of DX12 might have something to do with this. If all fails, you could disable the iGPU entirely to see if this will stop the crashes. (I originally did this to get through the black-screen-of-death so I could finish up the install).

 

[Jamesjaffa]

right, so with win10-pro you can delay updates but you can't prevent them :-( This is so frustrating! Forcing buggy driver-updates upon users...
So, even though my driver-downgrade to version 341.44 works for me, I have to repeat this processes over and over again, until MS/ Nvidia fixes the problem.... pathetic !

Update: I found this very helpful YouTube-Clip on how to deactivate autom. driver-updates - unfortunately in German, but I'm sure you can follow the instrustions by simply copying what this guy does....

nvidia has released a new driver 355.60.... I've just installed it, keeping my fingers crossed.

Update: 2 hours later: CRASH ;-(

Same here.

 

[Geezer760]

I fixed all my problems by just going back to my trusted Windows 8.1, I'll wait till all the bugs are out before going back to W10.

BSOD became a fact of life...

This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This problem might be caused by a thermal issue.

I did the same thing as you and still got the bug...
I dont know what else to do, other then change my graphic card. 🙁
And all of this started after instaling win10. :/

No solution just to report crashing with Nvidia GTX 670 in SLI mode (I have to disactivate the first 50 seconds then put it back) with W10 64 bit, Intel i53570K, latest drivers for everything and Intel graphic desactivated from the bios. However I have when gaming from time to time BSOD with no message or memory management or othes

 

[Zephyr_1]

There is a solution for this dude,all you have to do is,
1.Go to control panel,Appearance and Personalization
2.Open-Nvidia Graphics Panel
3.Select Global Setttings
4.Adjust the power preferences to maximum performance and turn vertical sync off.

 

[sagal]

Zephyr all done except vertical sync off which is on with triple screen. So far my solution is to disable SLI before switching off the PC (to close Nvidia control panel at the windows for SLI, PhysX, so that I can go there before the BSOD if I forgot to disable SLI) and to reactivate SLI once the PC has started. However it doesn't mean that all the crashes are prevented

 

[sagal]

@Zephyr. I had BSOD at startup yesterday even with Vsync off. I do not think that this setting "off" or "on" or "3D application" plays any role in the BSOD. Tested with drivers up to 359.06. The only thing that works very well is to desactivate SLI...But this is not a solution when one wants to play with a triple screen and with 3D surround....

Just so you all know

I had a similar problem with an AMD5450 graphics card

Eventually got fed up and bought Gigabyte GT610

I error just with nvidia kernel mode driver instead of AMD

Just my way of fixing this problem. I tried everything as did you all. upgraded all hardware, ram, video card, re-seated all cables, PSU. And tried all the online suggestions. Nothing worked, that is till I installed drivers from over a year ago, Ge-force 341.44 I believe. I suppose when W10 installed it got the latest drivers which I would assume that they would work better for my system, WRONG. since i rolled back to 341.44 haven't had one error. Hope this helps someone.

Where did you find the driver? I went to Nvida and earliest Win10 driver was 352.63 for a gtx960

Thank you for the reply. It turned on on my computer that the problem was the 24 pin ATX connector. It isn't loose but the first time I fixed it by just wiggling the connector. It ran good for about two days, then got the graphics driver has stopped meaasge again and I turned off computer and removed connector then put it back on pressing as hard as I was comfortable doing and I haven't had any problems since.

I tried doing this but the system was not compatible with the old version. I have Windows 10 64bit and GTX 960. I still have the same problem. Games crashing after 20minutes or so, BSOD, I have tried everything. Rerolling to an older version, uninstalling and reinstalling current version, etc.
Does anyone know if this problem has been resolved? The newest drivers do not solve the issue. It is incredibly frustrating. Thank you.

I have the same issue with a GTX 880M. After first installing Windows 10 I had weeks and weeks where I would get a BSOD 2 to 3 times a day, just browsing the internet or opening Excel. Eventualliy I gave up trying to find a working driver and just disabled the driver. I've since had no BSOD's for a year, until today. Last night Windows 10 installed an update, and it appears to have re-enabled the NVidia driver. I've disabled it again as I just can't work with a driver that gives me 2-3 BSOD's a day.I wish NVidia would fix this issue.
