I have a pretty old laptop running a 650m. Max temps on it while playing hovers around 80C. I do frequent cleanings of my laptop. Recently. After i installed the new nvidia drivers (384.76), everything ran fine. Later when i shut off my laptop and turned it on the next day, my drivers began to crash. So i removed them using a tool called DDU. And reinstalled the drivers. No issues. I restarted again after installing some game update and the crashing began again. It seems that after i install the drivers and restart my laptop, it starts crashing anywhere from 3-15 minutes of gameplay. Some games like overwatch say its my laptop being overclocked, while others like dota 2 just crash the nvidia driver and i get a notification. Any way to fix this? I am on high performance mode already.
Tldr, Nvidia drivers crash only a laptop restart and I have to reinstall.
