Why does my nvidia driver stop responding

I have been having problems with this for the past few weeks. It now shows massive artifacts at windows load screen. Ive tried RMA on video card after talking with rep and trying all they asked plus more that ive read on countless forums.

Nothing has worked. The new card has same problems. The PSU came and didnt change anything. It seemed to work well at first, but after running planetside 2 for about minutes it did the same artifacts and system crash.

I've also tried changing registry for TDR, which didn't help either. Now the computer will boot up to the windows load screen, show massive artifacts across entire screen, a bunch of small horizontal green lines all over screen, and then pc will either load into windows but with only default screen super low resolution, device manager shows yelow triangle over the geforce or the screen goes black and doesnt load windows, restarts and goes to safe mode options.

Load into safe mode, uninstall all geforce drivers, restart. Windows loads fine in normal mode and installs standard vga drivers.

I install any version, old or new, of geforce graphics drivers, restart on prompt after installation, and get the same artifacting at windows load screen. The fact that i dont have any problems until i install the geforce drivers tells me its a software issue. What else could it be? Is there some sort of conflict with windows updates and geforce drivers?

I disabled automatcc windows updating and changed setting so that windows doesnt automatically look for and install device drivers.

This didn't help ether. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ive read countless forums with people facing similar problem but none of the so-called 'fixes' have worked for me. Maybe they sent me a faulty replacement gpu? Hi there, Did somebody found an issue? Sorry, my English may be bad I got the sames kind of problem and I tried most things that could work But it didn't Tried all the steps up, also to format windows bla bla Do you think that it is an material problem?

Thank you guys. No corruption or blackscreen crashes. So far so good on Sorry for my english Have the simmilar issue. Black screen and computer hangs. This happend after installing a new driver.

Using DDU and roll back to previous driver did not work. Nothing helped. Just made an account to thank this person. This has so far completely eliminated the problem. Just did a 2-hour diablo3 session with zero errors whereas before today, I would get error every 10 minutes.

That's the one thing I didn't try because I'm not going to underclock my card. Nothing worked for me so I contacted MSI explained my issues to tech support and the guy immediately said sounds like the memory went bad, told me to get the RMA process started.

Should have my card back in a week in a half. Just did a 10min run with clocks reset to factory values when I got "Nvidia drivers have stopped responding My recommended clocks were: Core: mhz Memory: mhz Shader: mhz My solution was to change them to: Core: mhz Memory: same Shader: mhz Note that I did not change them through BIOS, but with the nvidia device setting tool previously suggested.

Strange how just changing a few numbers around you can get amazing results.. Also I'm using a laptop with nvidia geforce m, if that helps.

Really seems like different people have different solutions! I have not been having any crashes since I did what I mentioned at post Really I havent had any issues at all since I did that :.

The issue came back. No driver crashes though, my pc just stopped. It was OK for a few days then after wake up from power saving, the drivers crashed and recovered over and over again. It's been doing that ever since and has been failing to run YouTube videos, HQ videos on Facebook and worst of all, has completely messed up Eve Online client. Don't know if you can see FB links but here: Facebook album of Nvidia fail I have rolled back drivers as far as I am very VERY disappointed with Nvidia; their drivers are always troublesome and I think this is the last straw for me, unless anyone has a definitive fix, or there are drivers that absolutely will work.

Display Tab 2: No problems found. Sound Tab 1: No problems found. Sound Tab 2: No problems found. Sound Tab 3: No problems found. Input Tab: No problems found. So now , which driver is the good and no bug?? I'm currently on The card has been seriously down-clocked. I still get display break up occasionally which requires a restart checker board pattern spreads all over the displays and then flickers.

I'll uipdate after that's done. A friend has the same card and the same problems, it turns out and has a W PSU, so my hopes are not high.

I changed the graphics settings to minimum which is the lowest setting and x resolution, which is the lowest setting on the integrated graphics before switching to the NVIDIA graphics card. The game failed to run and gave the same problem. There would be a black screen for seconds before crashing and bringing me back to the desktop. I called one of the technician in Toshiba and they said the game is too old to be run by my laptop and that there is nothing wrong with my graphics card.

Try this to get Crysis to run, Use the desktop shortcut with Vista SP2 compatibility and "Run as an administrator" selected. Having the same problem with the Ti. I'm really disappointed, never had any driver issues with ATI cards. Straving for solutions, I read something about underclock but I don't know what it is exactly and how to do it, I only know it lowering my card performance. Not "it hasn't happened yet, keeping my fingers crossed", but actually fixed. Resolved my problem, a million thanks for it!

IF anyone have that problem, try this out. Really worth a try. The problem was caused by the PhysX configuration! The crash itself looked different though. Battlefield 5 stuttering with new drivers.

Not sure if it was the card but computer crashed and screen would not display in anything other than safe mode. Windows shut the card down upon system recovery had to go back to a previous configuration- windows 7 home premium and I had to reinstall Nvidia drivers.

Since then, I'm getting black screen followed shortly by the same "nvidia kernel Card seems to be clean so it seems the issue might be in the driver. Can the moderator please comment. I just restored my computer to factory settings and am still getting some issues. Most games wont open or just crash when loaded.

Is this really a software thing? I haven't overclocked or anything and even with factory settings its giving me trouble. I'll see if I can't get a picture of what it looks like. Looks like post after post, people are having driver issues. As if someone hacked Nvidia with a virus and they could care less about fixing. My desktop freezes, browser freezes, games freeze I am selling this card, or get money back and moving onto another card. Wagnard said: Buttttt it didn't.

I upgraded to the beta, and since that moment I've been unable to play games, no matter the driver. I even reformatted my HD, reinstalled windows 7, and the problem still won't go away. No matter how many clean installs or internet searches, this problem persists. Two weeks ago gameplay was amazing and I figured the new drivers would maintain that standard of performance. Boy will I never update my driver again once I get this resolved.

It's been 5 days of trying to fix things and not one truly helpful response all responses are appreciated, but ineffective.
