NVideo Drivers Crashing CONSTANTLY!
Hello everyone,
I'll start off by listing my specs: MSI Gaming 5 GTX 780 Overclocked i7-4790k 4.5GHz 8GB running at 1266 Corsair TX 750W PSU Latest Video Drivers are installed POE has Shadows turned off, AA turned down and is in Borderless Window. I can't play this game without my Video Card drivers crashing literally every 10 minutes... This makes playing Talisman League IMPOSSIBLE. The risk of death due to crashing is pretty low but it's still there. I am currently at Malachai in Normal A4 and I can't even get to Piety's first phase without crashing... I've given up due to not wanting to die. I've reinstalled the drivers/NVidea experience and my temps don't go any higher than 45 C on either my Mobo, Video Card or Processor... I was wondering if anyone had any insight on what I could due to help these crashes? The game is literally unplayable. To put it into perspective I play a handful of other games all on Ultra (SW:TOR, DotA 2, CS:GO, Rocket League, etc) and my temps don't jump and my Video drivers don't crash... Help plz?

What makes you think it's the video drivers?
You need to post error messages (exactly as the are worded and in full) or take a screen shot of it. Post a dxdiag? And when you reinstalled the drivers did you use something like driver sweeper to remove the old drivers? Ancestral Bond.

" It just says that the current Driver model 361.43 has stopped responding and has been restarted. The message actually comes from Windows 10. I reinstalled both from a completely fresh install (after manually uninstalling then reinstalling) as well as the new option for a clean install through NVideo Experience. |

" ![]() That's the Windows Error Message, and the only error message that occurs. What do you want me to post from the DXDiag file? I saved one to my desktop. Thanks in advance, Daalinar |

Personally i don't give a fuck about your Dxdiag, but it what you should be posting in any technical post relating to crashes(read the stickies), this will help GGG find potential sources of the problem.
After doing a google search, it seems that the problem is quite common, you may need to roll back the driver to an earlier version. or change power mode on your GFX cards control panel....there's other stuff as well. Ancestral Bond. It's a thing that does stuff. -Vipermagi

You can also try changing the Compatibility Mode on Path of Exile to Windows 8 and see if it makes a difference.

" I have already optimized voltages for my GFX Card. Long time ago. So power distribution isn't the culprit. Was kinda hoping there was a quick fix to this but it looks like it may just be the driver acting faulty along with my Windows 10 and POE for some reason... |

Keep in mind that overclocking in many cases can provide instability which can cause these driver crashes as well..
The actual error message is less that the driver crashed, but that Windows found it unresponsive and restarted it. It is possible it is an actual driver crash, but those usually leave behind errors in the Windows Event/Error log viewer. See if you can find the error in there and it will more directly tell you what was going on. It still likely won't tell you the EXACT cause, but it can help limit it to driver actually crashing, or just that Windows restarted it because it was unresponsive. |

Hi,
happened to me also but on Win 7 with GTX 660. I read some forums and ppl suggested to downgrade drivers. Now i have version 347.25 and so far so good, no crashes yet. Hope it helps you too. edit: I was using latest Nvidia drivers before downgrade.. That day was a quiet night, I woke up from a nightmare... It was crazy and confusing, I saw a Mirror of Kalandra... But then I remembered... Then I realized the devastating truth ... This world is an illusion, Exile. Dernière édition par Fawakex#7894, le 27 déc. 2015 à 17:27:07

" My only issue with this is if it destabilizes any of the other games I play. It's not worth reducing how well ALL of my other games play just to make POE playable. :( |
