Windows 10: Latest NVIDIA drivers keep crashing and recovering

That was mentioned here about SLI issues from articles read about that, did not state they were using that, i to have GeForce GTX 970 with no issues with new drivers. Doubtful OP going to buy new card as of yet or even thought of it being the card.

 

You're right jds63. A lot of others I've read are having troubles with multiple monitors or multiple video cards. But they are also either using some pretty old graphics cards. Radeon is especially have compatibility issues with Windows 10.

 

Have not done enough reading on this except for doing it for thread starter, just a bit i saw before while upgrading to Win 10 myself, thought seen some issues with higher end NVIDIA cards they might of been SLI, can't recall.

Radeon i was never too crazy about. Guess it maybe driver issue with this card, maybe not in Windows 10, wonder if was mentioned to try an older version of driver to see if it helped. As i always keep driver from before new one in case of something like this happens to me.

 

Ive gone back to Win 8 drivers 347.88 and they work perfectly, havent had any crashes or black screens, I am surprised they installed on win 10. Have also blocked WU from downloading the latest drivers. I wonder if all these black screens on install are because of the latest Nvidia drivers?

 

Possible on certain NVIDIA chipset Cards. Glad it worked and you tried that method of older driver, since was the driver that was crashing. Was a method here to stop it from updating, saw it somewhere, guess you knew then.

Seen this here, same idea different driver How to stop Windows 10 automatically installing Realtek audio drivers?

 

I have an nvidia card. When I upgraded, it showed a yellow triangle in device manager. But, yesterday morning, Windows downloaded and installed some update, then it told me to reboot to 'fix errors' - so I did and my card is now not only perfect, but I think a clearer image than when in 8.1. Maybe its my imagination because win 10 is fast, but its an imporvement so what the heck .................

 

For me after an upgrade it installed it right away, did not like idea at first because i thought it might of installed all software from NVIDIA like GeForce Experience so i downloaded drivers and tried to do a clean install it failed numerous times. Heard of issues with the NVIDIA driver software installer doing this on sites for Windows 10.

After i did a clean install and i installed it myself, as there was no issues with NVIDIA install this time. No issues with Drivers or card even before clean install.

 

I also have a a GT610 1GB and no issues, in any game or browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge...) using the latest Win10 Nvidia drivers. I didn't need to use older ones. The only crashes I had were because I was overclocking it too much xD

 

Use DDU which you can find below to remove your drivers and then install fresh from Nvidia or AMD.

If read whole post you will see this option was already used, by the thread starter.

 

Good to know, has me wondering a bit different about thread starters issues being only the driver could be conflict with newer driver and something else on system he has compared to you.

 

Maybe so but this DDU is a new release.

 

Strange how a custom install and selecting check mark at bottom to perform a clean install for NVIDIA Drivers software does not do it as good, been using that feature for long time with no issues.

 

Yeah maybe the OP had a driver conflict, corrupted install or something, He also has a more older MB and CPU, but I don't think that could be the cause. At first and as was reported in the forums, WU would try to install a different (or newer) driver form than of the Nvidia site, and that was a pain, as it caused the video card to go nuts, stopping rendering 3D and such (but no driver stopped responding crashes). afterm Nvidia released 353.62, everything is working fine

 

Yeap SLI 980 gtx here water cooled at 35 degrees Crash crash crash Have to play around all games to get them
But now yeah Updates from windows are for nvidia to and how you completely block all driver updates from Windows as they seem out dated and complete waste of time
