Hey guys ,

I am experiencing some weird issues with my strix 980 , and i don't know if it's coming from the driver or the card itself.

I am using 353.06 Whql , when the issue is about to come the card make a coil whine noise and the screen flash black once or twice , and the message " the display driver has stopped working and has recovered " pop up . In the event viewer it is related to Nvlddmkm.

When the issue happen , GPU tweak crash also, i have version 2.8.0.2 .

It happen most of the time when i am browsing with opera , and in game also especially with batman arkham origins .

If i reboot i can run the PC for a good solid 20 or 30 Hrs without problem , so it seems to be random and i am not able to reproduce the issue.

So i need help , is the card faulty ? This is simply a driver issue ( same issue happened with 340 .xx )?

Thank you !
