Crash Fix: Downgrade GeForce Driver/Uninstall GeForce Experience

[NRONX]

Latest GeForce driver (537.42) caused all my games to crash and cause BSOD. I downgraded back to (537.34) and did not use GeForce Experience. Now things are stable. Use DDU from wagnardsoft to cleanly uninstall all graphics drivers, reboot and install the old driver.

GeForce driver 537.42 is working perfectly for me, but it usually takes NVidia a few tries to get their 'game ready' drivers right. I recommend freeware NVCleanstall to do clean driver installs...it also makes it easy to roll back NVidia drivers, and optionally remove or install GeForce Experience if you so choose.

Rolling back didn't work for me, even after a fresh WINDOWS install.

What worked for me as a permanent fix (but sometimes needs to be reapplied if it gets removed on a restart) was to download the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, go in and turn my CPU cores down slightly... I brought them all down to 54 from 58,55, etc. After applying this change, no one crash while it's enabled. I say that because I restarted and it got un-applied and the game immediately started doing it's weird crashing behavior. I re-enabled it and not another crash again. So weird!

Apparently I was told that the i9 processors tend to overheat or use more CPU than they should, which triggers an exception and a crash. This is supposed to allow you a larger buffer by setting it lower, so it never reaches that level.

Hopefully this can help someone else too!!

Latest driver seems to be causing issues for me as well, nvidia overlay was heavily bugging out and crashed the game multiple times, but rolling back to my older driver fixed all the issues. I'd definitely recommend to wait until a more stable driver comes out before updating.
