[Help - Error] Driver Crashes Frequently

[Junami]

Pretty sure this is GunZ related, this only happens when I play FGunZ, nvidia driver will crash and then recover it's self, screen goes black and I look like i'm "frozen" in the air as if I was disconnected for 2-3 seconds and then the screen goes back to normal. I play several other games and this never happens.


Currently using the NVIDIA GTX 980.

A GPU will often 'cut-out' and restart (resulting in Windows reporting a Driver error when in actuality it's the hardware itself) when the Graphics Card overheats. Download GPU-Z and use this program to monitor your GPU's temperatures.

Anything above 80C is entering dangerous territory for a GPU. Be aware that the GPU will idle at a low-ish temperature, but will heat up considerably when playing a game or running a graphics rendering program, so load up GPU-Z and alt tab directly to it to see the temperature quickly. Even while alt-tabbed to the desktop the GPU's temperature will rapidly fall by 10-20 degrees C.


If your GPU is overheating, first ensure that it is not covered with dust, nor is there dust in your PC's case or on the case's fans. If dust is present use a compressed air canister to remove it.

Tl;dr, your VGA could be overheating which I kinda doubt unless you haven't cleaned your PC for long time, it also happens to me but very rare, last year it happened only twice so nothing to worry about, just make sure when you launch FG your VGA temperature is not warming up too much which causes it to crash and recover.

hmm could be a driver problem or temps just as george said. try uninstalling your driver and install it again and see if it will fix it.
