CS:GO causing "Display Driver Crashes".

[jupiter]

This is merely a copy paste of my Steam Support Ticket (which is left completely unanswered). Although I really hope you guys can help me on this.

"This is just a follow-up of my previous, unanswered ticket. Right now I'm stuck at playing 4:3, 800x600 (which is actually fine) since higher resolutions would often contribute to the "Display Driver Not Responding". When this happens, my game freezes, the sound loops, and I am left to restart the computer. When I alt+tab from the freezing game though, a notification pops up saying that "The Display Driver has Stopped Working".

GPU: Palit GTX 770 2GB Jetstream Edition

I assure you that I have beyond the recommended specs for CS:GO.
I've also tried verifying game cache, and flushing Steam data... no luck.

This has been happening for the longest time now. Although for the longest time, it never happened as well. I can only think that it might have been caused by some update(?).

If you need anymore details regarding my issue, please do say so in the reply. Thank you!

PS: My previous ticket covered the same issue. It was left unanswered and closed. This is merely a follow-up. Please don't let it happen again D:"

Thanks in advance!

Do you absolutely have to restart? Does it restart on it's own at some point? I've had a similar issue and turned out my GPU memory was defective. Didn't happen on every game, but on a few.

Other than that, I could just recommend completely uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, trying beta drivers if you didn't try them yet, or trying normal drivers if you had trouble with beta drivers.

is the 770 getting enough power ? you really should have a good 600watt psu to run that
is it overclocked ?

It's either restart or sign out from Windows then back in. Either way, it's sure to happen again.
The issue only occurs in CS:GO. It may in other games, but it's understandable since it usually happens when the computer's been on for a whole night.

I'll try uninstalling then reinstalling my drivers. My guess is that it's the fact that my drivers could be on the Beta phase.

If all else fails, I'll bring it to a shop. Thanks for the advice!

I'm pretty sure I have more than 600 watts on my PSU. It's probably around the 700-750 range.
And yes, my GPU is overclocked. As I said in my reply to llolschrauber, the issue only happens in CS:GO, and rarely in other games.

"Driver not responding"
Should give you a clue....

You have to set it at like 800X700,
There is a command which you input into the startup option on steam, I forgot what it was,
Google it

Well... not exactly.
I've never had the issue before though, like, I could run CS:GO smoothly, and crash-freely on higher resolutions (e.g 1920x1080).

I don't mind keeping it at 800x600 though, it's a great resolution for my aim. Although I'm looking to try 4:3, 1280x760, I tried it, but then to my surprise, the issue occured.

failed overclock will do that exact crash , and check the psu wattage if it's underpowered you will damage hardware

600w doesn't necessarily mean it delivers 600w, if you really need that much.
As I said, I had a similar problem in some games, but not all of them.
See if you can find a tool to check your GPU memory, not sure if memtest can do that.

It's been a while, so I don't quite remember what it is I did to fix the issue (besides upgrading HAHA).

I do believe the next best thing to do is to completely uninstall your current graphics driver using DDU, then re-installing using something like GeForce Experience, or NVIDIA's installers.

If that doesn't work, maybe try checking if you have anything overclocked. I've had experiences before where Source Engine games wouldn't play well for whatever reason, with my OC'd GPU, so I'd have no option but to keep it at stock clocks.

yeah i know my GPU is overclocked from the manufacture himself, but to be honest i have no clue how to clock the GPU back at the stock clock.

DDU doesnt work as well tho, tried it multiple times :^

Does your GPU manufacturer have their own official overclocking software? If so, check that, they may have the presets you're looking for.

DDU not working? What do you mean exactly?

Necromancy, we call it necro for short, is a term that we use if someone revive a dead thing/person, which in this case, the thread... 6 year old, already dead and buried well, rest in peace, until you woke the thread from the dead....

Nice necro anyway, 6 years!
