Did the new NVIDIA driver break my gaming laptop, or is my card dying?

have u checked your graphics settings? 😤 mine were reset after an update

dumb question but how do i even check the driver ??

also lol mods can we pin this thread :)

ok weird one spent a whole week on nvidia and im still not done. honestly just reset the DNS and save yourself the pain what am i doing wrong??

any update on this?

make a backup before u touch the update, learned that the hard way

it works on my machine™

@xavi.yilmaz8 nah thats not it, 331.82 has nothing to do with it

ok update: did what @rowan_tensor said and its fine now

nothing is more permanent than a temporary workaround

rip

lol this thread is gold thx in advance!!

dumb question but how do i even check the default config ?

👀

that pattern (black screen, then "display driver stopped responding and has recovered") is Windows TDR: the GPU didnt answer within the timeout sooo Windows reset teh driver... open Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System and look for Event ID 4101 from Display or nvlddmkm/amdkmdag/igfx. The timestamps tell you if it lines up with your symptom.

lol same thing happened to me for me it was the default config.. xD swapped it and boom, fixed

lol same thing happened to me for me it was teh firmware. swapped it and boom, fixed hope that helps :)
