could be the display driver crashing, as thats normally the effect it gives..
any number of things can cause it though

and for the record, i use 368.22, encountered ZERO problems with it.

Uninstall all NVIDIA; like u would any application.
Control Panel > Programs and Features
Uninstall all NVIDIA, with the last one you uninstall, being the "Forceware" as that is the core drivers themselves.

First though, go download the version you wish to install, so you already have this on-hand after uninstalling current drivers.

368.xx in general are terrible unless you have a newer GPU, such as GTX 1070/1080

Stick to 365.xx ones until a better one comes out that proves to be stable on GTX 700/900 series GPUs.

When you go to uninstall or reinstall drivers in Win10, disconnect the LAN/WIFI first. Wait til after they are installed to re-connect online. This avoid any interruptions from Windows Updates.

Then force a launching screen resolution for Source Games via the Steam Launch Options within the game properties in Steam Library.

The game is probably trying to load a lower res by default that your Monitor doesn't like.

I have the same problem, I fall asleep when playing CSGO :-\ Your monitor probably wants something more interesting to display.

Anywho, your refresh rate is probably out of range.

Did you get the latest update? Try updating it if you didnt. Also try downgrading your windows to w7

Yes but if OP is using Win10 as an in-place-Upgrade; that is pretty much your issue right there.
Go back to Win7 or clean install Win10

Exactly!

Theres no exactly! About it. You said to straight go back to win7, u said nothing about a clean win10 install :)

But yes, a clean install is always best.

It is always better to downgrade to windows 7, cause that might be the problem, much games can't open on Windows 10, but.. I don't think clean-install will help "That much". Only way to do it.

Good luck fixing it, I'm leaving the discussion, now.

It mostly can have to do with the Upgrade; lot of crap carried over and not having proper Drivers for everything; and running anything out of C: > WindowsOLD is not good.

Plus the previous OS will only be available for a Revert for a limited time (approx 30 days)

Whatever the OS, clean install and then latest Driver from official sources is best bet.
