So I have been doing very extensive testing and I am out of ideas. The quick story is my 980ti has a bunch of Nvidia driver crashes about 1 crash every 2-4sec for about 2-3hrs then hard lock. It only happens while idle at night or when I am not using the computer at all. I have tested memory with 0 errors. I have stress tested the cpu for over 24hrs multiple times with a suit of different stresses 0 crashes. I have tested the GPU for over 24hrs several different programs 0 crashes. Gaming works with 0 crashes no matter the game. But as soon as I leave it at idle it can have a massive driver has crash over and over with in 1hr to over a month before it happens each time. I have now spent 5 months testing and dealing with it. My next testing is going to drop a non nvida gpu in and see if it continues to happen but I dont have anything but nvidia atm. Does anyone have any sort of ideas. Looking for any input at this point. Thanks in advance.

    What NVIDIA Driver Version are you running?
    For GTX Cards I use 390.65 and 391.35 or 417.58 without issues.
    How old is the Thermal Paste on your  980ti EVGA GTX Titan X Hydro Coppers?

    I am currently running 388.13 but i have tried all nvidia drivers. Also I ran gpu stress test and all temps are solid and no crashing. Also its a 980ti ftw. At this point I am guessing its maybe a stick of ram starting to have intermittent errors and does not have a full blown problem yet or my IMC in the cpu is crapping out.

    Turn off all sleep states, then turn them on 1 at a time until it crashes

    Sorry the pc is a server build I put together a while ago.
     
    Asus x79 Gene
    e5-2690 v2
    4x8gb corsair vengeance LP 
    EVGA 850P2
    EVGA 980ti FTW 
     
    Computer has been kicking for since 2016 till the last 8 months or so having these random lockups with Event ID 4101 " Display driver nvlddmkm stop responding and has successfully recovered ". 
     
    PC is clear of any infection or otherwise. 
     
    I have disabled all sleep states and turned them back on to no anvil. Biggest problem with it is that it can take a day for it to crash to almost a month. So very random.
     
    No reports in Livekernelreports.
     
    Have tested each stick of ram at a time as well as together. The issue I am running into is so far in memtest86. Only sometime it will fail test 7. I truly think that at this point its a bad memory stick that is only just starting to have an issue and it has not had a full fail yet. I know as rare as it is but maybe the IMC is going bad. 
     
    While testing the machine I have slowly cut all apps out until I have reached bare minimum for windows to run. Unfortunately still has been locking up randomly.
     
    So at this moment I am at 2 days no lockup. So I have spare 2011 cpus I can throw into the pc to test both cpu and motherboard. I have many ddr3 sticks to try as well just do not have matching sticks for another quad channel set. I just really did not feel like ripping apart my pc. It was acting as my server for my security system and ran my nas. So now that I have a backup system in place I will be testing it even more thoroughly. I will report back with more info as I start tearing it down to try more things out. Thanks for the help so far everyone.

    You should have a lifetime warranty on the Corsair memory. Tell them it failed Memtest.
