AMD and Nvidia's 2014 driver progress

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

That's interesting, since 330 was more stable for me... Which card do you own?

Its not only me - plenty of people had problems with the 330 branch(look on OcUK even). I have a GTX660 BTW.

Remove all existing AMD/Nvidia/Intel graphics drivers with DisplayDriverUninstaller[DDU - available at Guru3D, just google for the latest version]

Then download and install the latest nvidia driver for your card and OS from nvidia.com/drivers

If you've already given this a try then ignore me! But I think it's worth a try, clean driver installs fix a lot of problems in my experience.

Apart from the DDU bit (I couldn't remember what it was called and a quick search didn't help me) I have largely kept the drivers up to date. The problem started late last year.
I was about to say I've now reverted to 337.88 and it seems a lot more stable - but it faulted on me even as I was typing. Ho hum.

For what it's worth I'm on a 3yr old GT520 which does all I want to do. Maybe it's just knackered or the drivers are too demanding. Any upgrade would seem to require PCI 3 which means a new mobo, etc, etc and I don't really *need* to replace my PC
And it just faulted again.

r330 was a bit problematic with Fermi cards as well (both desktop and mobile), alongside not particularly stellar performance.
