1316047 2012-12-03 00:20:00 I have an Nvidia Gtx 560 Ti and the driver crashes quite a lot (once every 3 days or so) at random times. It starts with yellow and pink squares appearing on my screen then the screen will go black and then I will get the message that my driver has crashed but recovered. I updated it and everything. Still happening. I can't give any error messages right now being at school but please help.
Thanks!

1316048 2012-12-03 00:30:00 Did you update the drivers recently? If you did roll the drivers back. If you didn't update your drivers. icow (15313)
1316049 2012-12-03 00:32:00 I'll try update them again, then i'll get back to you. Nikit07 (16761)

Run Speccy ( www.piriform.com ) and see what temperature your GPU is operating at.

1316052 2012-12-03 01:31:00 If you haven't recently done anything with the drivers, the card may be overheating, faulty, or perhaps there is a power problem. Check for loose cables, or even your PSU might be going south. Agent_24 (57)
1316053 2012-12-03 02:29:00 This is a known problem and according to the Nvidia forums is caused by Flash Player. I have a 560 TI and it happens to me but not as much as it use too. About 6 months ago it use to happen 3 or 4 times a day, but now more like once or twice every 2 or 3 months. It seems to me that with each successive version of driver the problem has become less prevalent. Forget all the suggestions above and visit the Nvidia forums. The drivers I have are the 306.97 which I think are the latest drivers. The crash won't damage your card if that is what you are worried about.
