Hi all
Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I could not find an official support thread.
I started having issues with windows 10, it would black screen and then crash to desktop during random tasks, and give me a Nvidia driver has stopped responding and has recovered error, apparently a fairly common error with windows 10.
I wanted to upgrade my card in any case, and got a second hand msi 970 gaming edition. Card was working in the seller's machine, tested before I bought.
Worked for about 24 hours and then started crashing, with the same errors. This is when I started toubleshooting. To name a few, I have tried the following, and still have the same problem:
- Reverted to Windows 7
- Changed power plan of PC to high performance
- Changed power plan on nvidia to high performance
- Increased power supply to card to max on MSI afterburner
- Removed drivers with DDU ( safe mode ) and installed previous versions
- Tried a different PSU
The most success I had was with driver version 347.88. With this version I was able to have a stable PC, and run The Division game.
I then ran into another problem - My FPS would drop from 60 down to 25 during graphic intensive parts, and during these parts, my CPU usage would be at 100% and 82 degrees celcius, while my GPU usage then dropped to 40%. GPU never went above 60 degrees. Perhaps the CPU was causing a problem with the GPU, not sure.
With this version the nvidia control panel would not work, nor geforce experience, perhaps because the driver is too old.
I then tried to run Heaven benchmark 4.0 to test the frame rates under load and the programme would not launch due to it not detecting that I was in 1920x1080 res. After that I went back to the latest version of the nvidia drivers and maxed the max power supply to the card through afterburner.
Everything seemed good for a while, Heaven benchmark gave me the expected frame rates and score for my card, and my PC was working. I then ran Heaven again and it went downhill. PC crashing again, display errors. When running The Division after a few seconds the screen would go bright pink and crash.
At this point I am going to take my PC in to be checked, but thought I would first see if anyone can assist. Willing to answer any questions.

Thanks all,
