  1. NVIDIA GTX 860M Constant Crashes


    Hello everyone. Lately I've been extremely frustrated with the GPU in my laptop constantly crashing. It happens almost every time it gets put into use. Some main examples are opening Geometry Dash (in which case the graphics card crashes), opening Kerbal Space Program (in which case the graphics card also crashes), editing videos in Vegas Pro 13 (in which case I once got a blue screen), and Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition (can you guess?.... yep, the GPU crashes). The only applications that use the GPU and don't crash are Minecraft (basically Java applications) and TerraTech.

    My head is starting to boil, since this is the latest in a chain of problems I've had after installing Windows 10. I have already done a system restore and reinstalled the GPU driver. It may or may not be related to the GPU problem, but the laptop also has random freezes. Sometimes, the laptop will randomly freeze, turn black for a second then come back, but there is an exclamation mark icon in the icon bar in the bottom right. All apps using the NVIDIA GPU will cease to work.

    :)

  6. Well, I uninstalled the driver for the GPU (which I have done before, and it worked fine) and went to reinstall it, but GeForce Experience doesn't detect the card anymore. Games and applications still randomly freeze and the GPU still crashes.

    Well gpu shouldn't crash if there is no driver install since it will be off.

    Maybe your driver isn't properly uninstall.
    Try complete uninstall driver with "display driver uninstaller (DDU)" in safe mode and then boot to windows and install driver again.

    Ok, now the GPU isn't working at all. At first the applications would be using the GPU then crash, but now the GPU isn't even being used. Someone please shoot me *cry
