Had the following problem these past days after mounting my new rig:

[PROBLEM]

My computer was “randomly” crashing. My monitor was turning black (but stayed ON) and I had to reboot manually. It used to happen a lot:

  • Between 2 maps of BF4. During the loading of the new map
  • After playing BF4 while attempting to open a browser.
  • After mining coin (using cudaminer), not during but right after I would stop it.

My dump files mentionned:

System:

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION nvlddmkm.sys

[…]

Probably caused by : nvlddmkm.sys ( nvlddmkm+39be1c )

Application: the thread tried to read from the virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access

I tried to remove/install all kind of nvidia drivers without any success.

[SOLUTION]
GO to the following website and download/install the bios update (under Driver & Tools)
VBIOS update for GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 & GTX770-DC2-2GD5
Improve stability
