so i went back to the 461.09 driver and so far so good. no black screens for about 2 hours.
 
undervolted the gpu clock to 1425 mhz at 762 mV. fans at 80.
 
fingers crossed.

I haven't seen a TDR driver crash while browsing or using RDP since installing 461.51 (and later 461.72), so fingers crossed that holds up. I did have periods in the past without them for stretches of several days, punctuated by periods of getting them multiple times a day, so tough to be certain it's fully solved.

I came to this forum after I developed the black screen symptoms.
 
Triggering event
I upgraded my monitor from a 4k 60 Hz, to a 4k 144Hz HDR display.
 
Symptoms;
  1. None at all at 60 Hz. on the 60 Hz. Monitor.
  2. @ 144 Hz I started to get random but frequent "Black Screens" every 5 minutes or so
    1. Black screen lasted 3-12 seconds,
    2. sounds continued to play
Actions Taken;
  1. I followed a number of the suggestions in the forum regarding changes to power saving etc.  There was some improvement, but the problem persisted.
  2. I noticed there was some correlation with events associated with xbox and other gaming services on my PC.  So I uninstalled these and there was a slight reduction in frequency of occurrence, but the problem did not go away.
I thought on this a bit more and then reset the refresh rate to 60 Hz. on the 144 Hz. Monitor
The problem went away.
 
Solution;
Realized I had an old 4k 60 Hz. Displayport 1.2 cable. 
In my case the local computer store has a very good return policy so upgrading the cable was risk free.  If your circumstances are similar this is definitely worth a try.  
I took a trip to my computer store and purchased a reputable  Displayport 1.4 cable rated for 8k @ 60 Hz / 4k HDR @ 144Hz.  I installed the cable, reset the drivers etc. and set the monitor to operate at 144 Hz.
 
EDIT: After 2.5 days, or approximately 30 hours of game time, there has not been a single repeat of the black screen or any other windows logs.  So in my circumstance I can confirm the DP 1.4 cable fixed the problem.
 
Update: After almost a year now, the problem has never reoccurred.  A quality DP 1.4 cable fixed this for me permanently.

First off Thanks guys for the NVIDIA driver links above
 
Secondly to the poster directly above I too have heard good things about changing to a higher quality DP cable in fact recently purchased one myself to try this out but have yet to use it due to.....
 
Thirdly over a week ago I switched from a "Balanced" Windows 10 power plan to an "Ultimate Performance" plan instead which basically means my PC never goes into sleep mode unless I put it into one (monitors still turn off after 20 mins or so).  Since then not once have I been greeted with a Black screen at Start up or Restart and whilst 9 or so days may be too early to say 100% that this problem is fixed, it's certainly promising.  So I would definitely say if you've been having mild black screen issues to give it a try as it costs nothing and it doesn't appear to have any negative effects (if you really need/want to conserve energy you can always enter sleep mode manually or power off)

Hi guys,
 
I'm having the same trouble so far. I've updated my ASUS bios, my GPU firmware and downloaded the latest NVIDIA patch even though i'm having black screens.
According to me, these crashes happen due to high frequence demand for GPU clock and memory clock. But, since i've put my GPU into "Boost Lock" in the X1 EVGA software I haven't got any crashes because the clock is maintained at the hight clock as it could be for benchmarking. I've not noticed any GPU temperature trouble, would it damage the GPU if i continue doing so ? Because i've not find any better solution yet.
 
Thanks guys
