nvidia geforce gts 250 driver crashing

[kazern]

alright so when im using the microsoft graphics driver i have no issues but when i use the nvidia drivers from their site it crashes and recovers constantly and i have tried multiple older drivers for the card yet still the same issue and then sometimes i can play without issue on games with the nvidia drivers does anyone have any idea what could be causing it it never reaches above 55-60c

The GTS 250 is a very old card, what OS are you using and other system specs?

How are you uninstalling your GPU drivers? If you're just uninstalling them using the uninstaller Windows has built in, it will not delete all the files that Nvidia's got.

i know it is i picked up a cheapo pc for a do over aha
windows 10
intel Core i5 650 @ 3.20GHz
8.00GB ram
ASUSTeK Computer INC. P7H55-M
pretty crappy pc all round yet it plays games like gta v bf4 and arma 3 fine when the driver isnt crashing

im using device manager and it fixes the issue when i remove the nvidia driver but i need the nvidia driver to play games

 

[ZeusGamer]

I recommend using DDU to uninstall your GPU drivers. Then after that, try reinstalling them again. This will actually delete ALL the files that Nvidia has in your system. Plus, it does it in safe mode so when it reboots back to normal mode, you've essentially have a PC without any sorts of GPU drivers.

Okay good. Please let me know if it worked.

well i tried it and then installed nvidias latest driver and still the same issue it literally crashes every 10-15 seconds

75% chance it's a bad video card, rest being bad power supply, with a tiny chance it's RAM or the motherboard (PCIe slot in particular).

Can't figure out what you are saying here, is it working now or not? Try to use sentences, hard to read the way you are writing. Don't have two outputs from the same card going into one monitor, will cause issues. And if it's working, did you give it some time to make sure it's stable after a while of playing on it?

its working fine with both outputs going from the gpu to my monitor with no issues no crashing on the latest driver as long as i dont unplug the hdmi cable gaming and everything works fine
