I am by no means an expert on windows 10 as microsoft changes it more often than any other operating system in the history of computing.
!607 was in my opinion the most stable as 1703 the creators update still has issue.
Most of the error messages and crashes more than likely the results of power settings, sleep-hybrid sleep, secure boot, fast boot,
and drivers-software.
On every major win10 build or gpu updates things can and will go amok and on every gforce or os update, things need to be rechecked-reset.
The list; power options, pcie- set to moderate or off (max power savings may underpower the gpu).usb selective turn off- uncheck, wifi (if using set to max performance -if not set to max power savings, sleep- hybrid sleep set to off-never, disk drives- set to 0- turns off drives from powering down,
display- turn off timer ( would recommend this be set to never, same for brightness).
If the pc is still hibernating elevated command prompt; powercfg h off
Device manager, show hidden devices, expand drives, display adapters, monitors,usb power settings-uncheck put this device to sleep to save power
uninstall any grayed out (code 45 ) devices.
System,system info, advanced system settings, hardware, device installation settings, auto download manuf. apps and icons-no.
Nvidia control panel, global settings, (some options will not work per game or program) dsr factor-off, vr pre rendered frames ( default is -1 and can cause issues) set to application controlled, power management mode ( new geforce driver or win update can set to highest power draw and will have the gpu clocked at full) set to adaptive.
Geforce experience, settings, uncheck to download or automatically optimize games.
Install legacy physx.
Manually add the game(s) to nvidia control panel.
If using the nvidia control panel, adjust image with preview, change advanced 3d image to let the 3d application decide.
Currently using gtx 650ti 1g vram ( had many of the same issues) gtx 750 1g vram, gtx 960 4g vram.
Also use precision x, ocx or other program to control gpu fans as win10 likes to keep gpu fans at around 20% even on load,
thus overheating the card(s) ( cpuid hardware monitor is decent to check and show temps and on heavy loads, can be saved to txt file).
On my 3 evga cards using 384.76, automatic install from within geforce experience did not go 100% on some so best to install from the
nvidia download page.
Please use at own risk.
