nvidia driver crashing problem

[NoOb121]

I recently bought battlefield 4 and a very irritating thing has started to occur from day 1, what actually happens is after sometime of gameplay(3-10 mins) a message nvidia driver have stopped responding and have recovered will come up my game will freeze and then i have to close it using the task manager. It happens completely randomly atleast i couldn't figure out any pattern in this crash. I have an intel core i3 3rd gen 3.2Ghz processor, 8Gb of ram, 1Tb harddisk, nvidia gt 640 graphics card.


what all i tried:
i tried over volting, over clocking, tried to increase the delay time through the registry, tried to lower the resolutions then play, the power management plan of windows set to high power, nvidia driver control panel power management set to maximum performance, unparked all the cores, tried completely reinstalling windows(same version though), used old versions of drivers all clean installations and virus scanning no threat was detected.

Please help!!!!
thanks in advance and if i missed anything please let me know as i am writing such a thread for the first time.

When bf4 was initially released both amd and NVIDIA had this issue. Have you attempted to update game? I know there were a few patches to resolve this issue. To be honest I got bf4 on release, 2 months later the game still wasn't stable so I have never loaded the game again. So I have no idea if they are still having issues.

I would download a benchmarking software and run it at medium, working up to ultra to see if your video card crashes. If it doesn't, and you are stable, you know it is the game, not your card.

yes i tried updating the game didnt help m using a software called gpu tweak and i saw that there were 100% gpu usages just when the error was about to come but till the rest of the time the usage will stay nearly 70%. Sorry for the late reply.

Download a benchmarking software! Run a stress test, if your able to get through it, it's not your card. Running a game as graphically intense as bf4, its not surprising that your card maxed. The question is if it's your card, or the game. A benchmark will be able to determine that. Tho using a 640 I wouldn't try to push much past medium settings.

If you pass a bench just fine without repeating the same error, its not your card, it's bf4 integrating with the driver.

If you get the same error, your card is having issues. I might try down clocking card too.
