Nvidia Users Beware, Latest Game Ready Driver May Harm Your PC - Stick To Your Last Stable Driver For Now

One Nvidia GeForce user reports on the Nvidia subreddit :

[PSA] WARNING: AVOID 364.72 (march 28) LIKE THE PLAGUE - it's bricking cards left and right - and rollbacks are not working. I'm not being hyperbolic here - there are hundreds of posts on reddit and the nvidia forums of people saying the latest driver update is bricking hardware. i've now seen multiple pics of people's screens after the update, and it looks just like what happened to me. I am NOT a hater on nvidia - i've got a shield and I literally use it every day - gamestreaming is almost the only way i consume gaming content now, but right now nvidia has seriously shit the bed on this one. Hold out for the next driver. EDIT: YES, MOST USERS WILL PROBABLY NOT HAVE PROBLEMS. It wouldn't have gotten out of beta if it was a majority issue right? but do you want to risk your system being in that 1%? Drivers should not brick hardware - at the worst, a rollback should resolve things. if this is happening to any number of systems, something is wrong. EDIT 2: It looks like the entire 364* series of drivers is borked. I would just stay away from all of them. Also, RIP inbox 🙁

It seems Nvidia has been facing some challenges getting Game Ready drivers out on time issue free as of late. Unfortunately this is the second time that a WHQL certified Game Ready driver has caused heartache for gamers in the past month. In fact so many users report running into the exact same issues that had afflicted the last game ready driver a little over three weeks ago.

If you’ve already downloaded and installed the drivers and you’re having issues you could try using driver removal tools such as Display Driver Uninstaller and uninstalling the driver in Safe Mode. If you haven’t installed the the 364.72 driver it’s recommended that you stay on the last stable version you have installed until most of the more issues are resolved.
