Every time I yank a jawbone from a skull and ram it into an eyesocket, I know I'm building a better future.

Problem description: This issue only occurs during gaming, whenever I play a game after either a few minutes or a long time my screen goes black and then I get kicked back to my desktop with the Nvidia error telling me my display driver has crashed, but recovered. This however makes the game unresponsive. This only happens with certain games too WoW FFXIV, MKX.

Attempted fixes: What have you tried to do to resolve the problem? Clean install of drivers in safe mode, and updated my BIOS. I saw some posts about increasing the voltage to my GPU, but I am not so sure if my PSU will handle it.

Recent changes: Updated my driver yesterday for GTA5's release

I am an oppressed White Male, Asian women wont serve me! Save me Campbell Newman!!!!!!!
The only solution I have ever found was to rollback to a previous restore point that didn't exhibit that behaviour and then let Windows do whatever updates it wants all over again. Really, that has worked for me every time whereas trying to rollback just the video driver or clean install it again or whatever has never worked.
Mind you, my anecdotal evidence of this is only for the 3 times it has happened over 5 years so it's not exactly hard data.

I've read about rolling it back to at least 3.14ish, but will that impact my game performance?

That's a case-by-case thing. It's hard to know until it's done.

I am not sure if this is an MKX issue or GPU issue, but this keeps happening

I am playing this game for not even five minutes and every time the picture freezes, sound still plays. It doesnt give me "It crashed" it just freezes with sound continuing to play in the background, my temps and stuff are fine so I am at a loss now.

It wouldn't hurt to run DDU http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/ and then reinstall the latest beta drivers.

I'm not sure if I'm being clear, but I'm talking about going back to a previous restore point, not just rolling back a video driver.
