  2. lol same thing happened to me also turn off any GPU overclock or undervolt profile, including factory "OC mode" in teh vendor app. A new driver can expose an undervolt that was only barely stable before.

  4. Check power before blaming the driver 馃槶 A PSU thats borderline or a daisy-chained PCIe cable can cause exactly this under load. If its a desktop, use two separate PCIe power cables if the card has two connectors. good luck man!

  5. hmmmm not sure about that id actually do DDU first rather than a rollback. rollback keeps the same leftovers around, and a clean slate tells you more.
