Nvidia Display Driver stopped responding and has Recovered

[JL_95]

My Cyberpower Laptop randomly started receiving "Nvidia Display Driver has stopped responding and has Recovered" this only happens upon upgrading the driver to anything above 355.98.
So I clean installed Nvidia driver 355.98 but after doing that I can no longer run any games as I still receive the error and my laptop freezes and I then have to hard reset.
E.g. CSGO - Loading screen goes black then freezes my laptop have to hard reset. (Can't "CTRL+ALT+DEL").

RAM - 16GB
DISPLAY DRIVER - INTEL(R) HD GRAPHICS 4600 - (UP TO DATE DRIVER)

your gpu is getting too hot....that's happened to me on my laptop and desktop a few times, especially when i overclocked the gpu...it seems that the cooling is not enough....there is software out there that will allow you to under-clock your gpu.

Okay, I've been using a laptop cooling stand but that's still not helping. Would I have to replace the GPU?

 

[nebun]

don't do that just yet...uninstall the new driver and reinstall the old one...make sure you preform a clean install...if the problem is fixed then you know that your card is ok....if the problem still occurs then your have a bad card....

is win10 original to this laptop or did you have a previous version on it?

 

[JL_95]

No it is not original, I upgraded from windows 8.1

 

[ffg7]

did it have that problem when using win 8.1?

 

[JL_95]

Nope this has only started occurring as soon as I upgraded to windows 10.

have you tried today's driver? http/www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/96885/en-us

 

[JL_95]

Just tried it right now upon upgrading there was no display driver and I could run CSGO without crashing on the loading screen and having to hard reset. Right now it is running smoothly. I believe this was the solution from today's update. Thank you! If there are any issues I will let you know if thats okay? Thanks again
