What Driver Should I use?

[Ace Astacia]

I just installed a GTX 960 graphics card into my computer and I've been having a lot of game crashes. I'm currently using the NVIDIA Game Ready Driver, and people in other forums are telling me to uninstall it and use a different one.

What driver would make it so my games run smoothly and don't crash anymore?

I'd post my system specs but for some reason they're inaccurate. Says I have 32 bit instead of 64 bit and that I'm running 2 gigs of RAM instead of 8.

Does the game crashes specifically on one game, how about on other games does it crash too?
Is it a new GPU? Is it compatible with your current specs?

The Witcher 3 specifically crashes quite often. Occasionally the game will get laggy, or it will make a long buzzing sound and then the monitor goes to sleep. Lately an error message will show up saying "Input Signal Out of Range, change resolution to 1920x1080- 60Hz. I do have these settings in place already, however.

It doesn't take longer than 15 minutes for the Witcher 3 to turn to a black screen and shut down.

I've also had issues with my monitor going to sleep randomly while playing any game, and after it turns on the game will not open again.

Here's my current specs (only difference is I have 8 gigs of RAM and I'm running 64-bit)

Yup. You should uninstall it. It will break your system.
Then consult to a technical support. I cannot help you further regarding this matter.

Anyone else have any ideas/help?

Geforce Experience causes me nothing but trouble as you describe when it is installed with my 560TI. Uninstall Nvidia software, then reinstall using custom option and uncheck Geforce Experience.

352.86 seems to be quite stable and its only about a month old.

I'd also go with the fresh install option and uncheck the Geforce (un)Experience(d).

347.88 and 350.12 for me.

352.86 and 353.06 are full of TDR crashes for me.
Mostly because 353.06 was more of a hotfix for the GTX 980 Ti.

Some people have gotten the crashes less frequent by disabling the Hardware Acceleration & unchecking Nvidia HD Audio upon clean installation. Also uncheck 3rd party On-Screen Displays such as MSI Afterburner's, if you have them on.
