If it was faulty hardware would it not have problem more than once every 6-8 hours??? I had many gpus die on me over the years (i'm an old guy) but they never worked perfectly fine 95% of the time with some hiccups. They usually go with some fireworks and eventually a black hole
Like i said in previous reply i'll try to remove the overclock and i'll report back in 2-3 days. It's a very marginal overclock and it's been stable for 2 years but the card was a pretty bad overclocker out of the box. I could not get more than 100Mhz on both the core and mem despite temp being perfectly fine. I would get corruption as soon as i was trying to get past that overclock. I would say the card out of the box was pretty bad silicon so it's possible the overclock is not stable anymore. Would suck since it would means i spent Asus Strix $ for not much but well it is what it is i guess.
Man the RTX taxe and this problem i have since june have left a bad taste in my month that's for sure. The summer was extremely hot my apartment was getting as hot as almost 40 Celsius at time so i thought it might have been the problem but now it's back to normal temp at around 20 Celsius.
That's the classic timeout detection and recovery (TDR) error. It can be caused by a buggy driver, but in most cases, when trying several different drivers doesn't help, it's due to faulty hardware or bad overclock.

Best driver for me was 417.71 now I'm using latest and for some reason they work OK this time, I did ddu few times. Some games are perfectly smooth

I've seen several people claim their ability to overclock has been reduced by the current drivers. Maybe the newer driver, in an attempt to increase performance, puts more stress on the hardware, to the point a lower clock speed will actually achieve the same or better performance.

Stop right there. Overclock was considered as main suspect in "driver stopped responding" errors. So it should be the first thing to try - lower OC a bit. Also there were many drivers which required the OC lowering.

I did find a recent post about it on nVidia forums but there's not much information as why it happens and how to solve it or if re-installing windows will be a waste of time or not. It drives me crazy. I really don't have time re-installing windows now I'm past deadlines at my job and if i invest time re-installing windows instead of doing overtime or having fun to let the pressure out it must absolutely 100% work. Sadly i don't have a backup left before the problem started to appear (before June I would say).
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/179540/display-driver-nvlddmkm-stopped-responding-and-has/
The answer by Nolfy in this thread above is pretty much what i'm experiencing. He said "This is a driver problem from Nvidia. Since the latest 2 or 3 drivers i have the same problems.". That's exactly where it started for me 2-3 drivers ago. Everything else is working perfectly. And when the drivers don't crash the computer is running perfectly. Fps in games is stable. Temps are stable. They are all the same as before. Compile time of my projects are normal. Android VMs work fine.
It's not too much of a problem outside of online gaming. But when the drivers crash i lose control of the computer for around 10 seconds before they recover so i can't do anything for around 10 seconds. And once upon a time the whole computer crashes with the drivers.
I'll try reducing my overclock. It has been perfectly stable until now but the card is 2 years old so who knows? That would suck my 1070 was already a terrible overclocker. It's probably the worst card i ever bought from nVidia. Terrible overclocker. Not a proper 2k high fps card and overkill for 1080p. And now drivers instability. The overclock is marginal at best (100Mhz on both core and mem could not do any better). I'll try removing it completely to see if it does a difference.
Computer specs just in case :
Ryzen 7 1800x
Asus Crosshair Hero VI
16GB of G. Skill Trident 3200 ram.
Thermaltake Toughpower 850W Gold PSU
Asus GTX 1070 Strix
Mostly playing Blizzard games lately. Overwatch, Diablo 3 and some wow and a little bit of HOTS.
if it was just overwatch, then i would say driver problem since there is something going on there,
but since its generally anything doing it i'd say its device config related, your ram for example is not without issues on Ryzen, uses have had best results with 2933 instead of 3200 on this set with Zen 1

I had no problem for 2 years and i did not upgrade the bios or the chipset drivers lately i wait for ryzen 3 to be more mature before upgrading those again on my ryzen 1 computer. I highly suspect this is the gpu since it happens mostly while gaming and "pushing" the gpu. It happened once outside of gaming i think while using Firefox/Discord/Twitch. I'll definitely investigate the gpu first. I remember reading some people had to downclock with new drivers. I'll try that first and see what happens.

alright, but keep in mind that Nvidia's multithreaded software scheduler and hardware assisted ones in Pascal/Turing are definitely affected by Memory decay, or mis-configuration, you can swap from a perfectly fine hardware wise nvidia card, to a perfectly fine amd card and issues stop simply because of their own differences in operation.
These could also just be bad drivers on your system because of an undiscovered conflict with other installed drivers or bios settings, everything is a possibility.

Yesterday I wanted to install these drivers, but they were removed from nvidia website, even the older 436.15 was not there, today they are back. Yesterday the last drivers were 436.02.
Will be there any new drivers soon? Should I wait? Cause I am on 436.15

I removed the overclock and after 3 days it's perfectly stable again. Strange that's the first time i have a perfectly stable overclock going bad after only 2 years. Dunno if it's the latest drivers or the card itself. Well i planned to upgrade the card soon anyway so i'll keep it at stock until then.

I preferred 436.15 more then these 436.30.. .15 were faster and smoother. atm updating to 436.39vk driver.
Edit; I think I will go back to 436.15

Me too. The card won't downclock with these, MW beta is over and these aren't as smooth overall. Nice to have options

I get this error in the Event Viewer "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.". Most of the time they recover but at least once a week they bring the whole computer down
That's the classic timeout detection and recovery (TDR) error. It can be caused by a buggy driver, but in most cases, when trying several different drivers doesn't help, it's due to faulty hardware or bad overclock.
