John Sheppard Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 So ever since the Unity 5 update my game has been randomly crashing displaying only black screen sometimes kicking me out to desktop but i can still hear the sound of the game running the cannons firing etc.. and even though i see the game in the task bar when i try to alt-tab to it (or switch from the task manager) it doesn't appear ocasionally when i'm getting out to destop fast enough i see a pop-up message that the Nvidia kernerl driver has crashed and recovered .. this never happened before the unity 5 update and now it's happnening atleast 5 times per day completly randomly sometimes few times in a row both in battle and OW and the only thing i can do is end process from task manager and relogin fast the nvidia popup reads "Display driver Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version *numbers numbers* stopped responding and has successfully recovered" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Captain, have you tried to clean reinstall the latest GPU drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sheppard Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) yes i have tried installing different versions of the driver and selecting the "clean install" when installing it Edited September 26, 2017 by John Sheppard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Captain, please check this workaround and reply back On 02.04.2016 at 12:21 PM, Ink said: Captain, there are some more possible workarounds to try: 1) Are you using any kind of overcloak on CPU or GPU? If so, turning it off might help. 2) Go into device manager and disable (not uninstall) all the Nvidia HD audio driver's. Check if it works.

John Sheppard Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) my system is : Win 7 64bit motherboard : B150M-HD3 DDR3-CF CPU : i3-6098P Ram : 8GB DDR3 at 1600mhz HD : Sandisk ultra 240GB SSD GPU : Gigabyte Nvidia GT 730 2GB DDR5 at 5000Mhz and 902 enginge clock it's not overclocked (i even tried to underclock both memory and engine clock but without any improvement) the GPU is running at 48-50 degrees celcius and cpu at 40-43C while the game is running Oh and i have not installed the HDMI audio coz i'm using headphones plugged in the motherboard's audio jack and using VGA cable for the monitor Edited September 26, 2017 by John Sheppard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.42_Bandy Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I have the same problem with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 card. Will try the disable Cards HD Audio function and see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.42_Bandy Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Still no fix or improvement on the Screen Crashes.... OK, fixed problem....I hope. I went to Task Manager - Device Manager - Visual Adapters- Nvidia Card and rolled back my latest Graphics driver to the previous one. I also note that the problem driver was rev'ing the card when in game and open world where the crashes occurred. The machine is quiet all of the time now.
