Question Nvidia drivers ?

[iMatty]

So currently I have Nvidia driver 566.36 installed. When I had the latest drivers installed a lot of issues started happening, Apex Legends started crashing every 20 mins, Borderlands 3 kept crashing as well.
But since I installed that specific driver mentioned above, those issues are gone.
Now my question is, I tried playing the new Doom, but it is asking me to install the latest driver.
But if I do, I'm kinda scared that it will start making problems again and crashing games.

What should I do exactly?

In case anyone asks for my PC specs:
CPU: i7 12700k
Motherboard: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI
Ram: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32gb
Graphics Card: MSI RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio
Power Supply: NZXT C1000 Gold

Temps are all normal, no overheating nothing at all.
I don't overclock my system as I don't see any reason for me to ngl, and recently i disabled XMP since it was giving me memory issues whenever i ran memtest, its on the stock speed right now and I don't really know how to increase it manually.
Am not sure if my bios are up to date or not i can provide the driver number.

Sorry for the late reply got busy.

with xmp/expo off, do you get errors with memtest as well?

No after i turned off xmp i ran another memtest that came back with zero errors, and after that i stopped getting blue screens as well/random restarts
Thats why am not sure if i should manually overclock my ram to about 5500 MHZ, when XMP was on it auto set it to 6400 MHZ which was a bit too much for my CPU to handle i assume even though its kinda brand new.
