Users report multiple issues with GeForce 375.86 WHQL Drivers

We all eat shit and die... others just hate success.

Quick support as always.

First world problems and another bowl of corn flakes to try.

To be fair, many people are using "game-ready" drivers or hotfix drivers, which aren't WHQL. They are beta, and are really only tuned for the specific apps mentioned, IMHO. So, when doing beta, unexpected things can happen, and that's that. This new release is not WHQL, so anyone with problems should probably stick to WHQL releases, and have a bit of patience for those releases. I think both NV and AMD have issues at times, and it sucks, but it doesn't really bother me at all. I had a PCIe slot die while using the 375.86 driver, as well as some stability issues (ASUS "surge protect" kept triggering), and while I might like to blame driver, the issues I had were probably an indicator of my board starting to give up. My CPU and mem is OC'ed, which means that I took a chance that things might happen, and they did unexpectedly. I've been running this rig since before Skylake's official launch, so it served me well enough; I am expecting a barebones PC from MSI in the near future that I'll be taking these parts out of anyway, and then I'll get my new bowl to eat out of.

How about: nVidia's driver issues spawn shit metaphors.

How about we stop advertising people that Nvidia has superior drivers ?

Fixed that for you

After nVidia goes fully into autonomous drive for automobiles market, how do you think people will react after a car's accident because of a driver (the software one) bug??
This is indeed now a minor annoying issue, nothing more, but when shmit will start to get serious for nVidia, you cannot play with people's life.

Hotfix 375.95 is out.

Am I the only one who still finds it unbelievably fucking stupid that I have to go to their forums to even find out about the existence of the hotfix driver? What possible purpose could they have to not add it to the driver page with it clearly labeled as a non-WHQL Hotfix driver.

Sheep...naaa, just not a drama filled nut job about driver issues as some can be.

(Not saying you)

NVIDIA pulled 375.86 and now 375.95 is WHQL and listed on their driver page.

Second slot doesn't work at all any more. Swapped CPUs, and everything else, same problem. Both cards work individually.

I have two systems where the second card quit working on .86. Today's driver may have fixed it, but now I can't get CUDA to run at all.
Everyone should understand Microsoft had dropped a new preview version of Windows 10 that broke the drivers (as usual) and NVidia had to respond quickly.
Unfortunately the response seems to have broken more stuff than it was designed to fix.
There is no joy in that driver group right now...

I have made 3 driver updates in 2 days and still have CUDA broken!
I understand this issue was forced by a Win10 Preview version upgrade, but any idea when it might be resolved?
