I decided to update my workstation PC, and for some reason the nvidia Driver keeps crashing sometimes, 2-3 times in a row. After the second or third time the screens just go black. I had thought I fixed the issue by installing a later version of the nvidia drivers from Jan, and it worked for a day but I keep running into the same issue.

Sometimes I will get a blue screen error message. But I just recently updated the settings so that the computer doesn't automatically restart after a BSOD.

Parts:
-Windows 7 Ultimate - 64bit
- HyperX 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 PC3-12800 CL9 DIMM XMP Desktop Memory, Black KHX16C9B1BK2/8X
- Intel Core i5-4670K Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.4 GHZ 6 MB Cache - BX80646I54670K
- Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE250BW
- ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-A
- EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SUPERCLOCKED 2048MB GDDR5 DVI HDMI DP Graphics Card 02G-P4-2662-KR

three things u can try in order:
1. download a program called driver sweeper, go to safe mode, press scan and remove all drivers, then get the latest drivers and install them.
2. google the clocks of the reference edition gtx 660, and change urs to them, with evga precision or any other software.
3.move the gpu to another pci-e slot.

also your power supplier might not be strong enough, which do you have?

Ok will do! I'll get home and try those fixes immediately.


*I used the old power supply, from my previous workstation.**
