Nvidia driver crash.Need help

[Ibrahim hossain]

I have asus rog gl552vw which is packed with i7 6700q,nvidia gtx 960m.It gave me great service for a year.But after a year,my graphics card driver keeps crashing.I can't play games on 1080p anymore,it will run at 720p for like 30 minutes and crash.I've tried reinstalling graphics driver,changing thermal compound,even changing tdr delay in registry editor,but nothing worked.Any body has any suggestion about what I can do about it?I thought about flashing graphics card bios,but I don't know what will happen if I did it.

Please retest while using MSI After Burner so that you can report back the temperature the GPU is reaching just before it crashes/ or you could run RealTemp and config it to also show the GPU temperature as well as the CPU temperatures...We will first need this information on the GPU and CPU Temperatures for further diagnostics.....Also if you could post the errors with in the "Event Viewer" for system and application errors that are listed when the crash happened. Thank you and sorry to hear this is happening. Actually you can use what ever software you want to report back to us the temperatures.

Clean it out of dust

1. What does Event Viewer say happened ?

2. When was last time you took off bottom panel and cleaned out all the heat sinks and fans of cat hair, dandruff and cookie crumbs ? Ig using air compressor, make sure to hold finger on fans to keep from over spinning.

3. What temps are you seeing ?

4. What is room Temp ... and have you elevated the lappie a bit ? I use an engineer's scale in my office when running CAD.

5. In the future suggest buying a lappie from a Clevo distributor custom built to your specification with big ass heat sinks. Be aware that Asus doesn't actually "make" a laptop... neither does any other name you'd recognize except for MSI. "The vast majority of laptops on the market are manufactured by a small handful of Taiwan-based ODMs, although their production bases are located mostly in mainland China. Major relationships include:

• Quanta sells to (among others) HP, Lenovo, Apple, Acer, Toshiba, Dell, Sony, Fujitsu and NEC
• Compal sells to (among others) Acer, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo and HP/Compaq
• Wistron (former manufacturing & design division of Acer) sells to Dell, Acer, Lenovo and HP
• Inventec sells to Toshiba, HP, Dell and Lenovo
