    Sometimes whilst playing games on my Y510p I get the error message "Nvidia Driver 344.11 stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
    The game crashes, the screen goes black etc. Windows asks me to try and find a solution which of course does nothing.

    Set-up:
    2x GT 755M in SLI

    What I've tried:

    1. Using the official uninstaller to remove the drivers and then reinstall them.
    2. Using a driver removal tool in safe mode to remove the drivers and then reinstall them.
    3. Using beta drivers instead of stable drivers

    I still get the problem no matter what. It doesn't always happen but it happens roughly once every time I am playing something for longer than about 2 hours.
    Temps seem pretty acceptable and don't go above 60C

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Can you try running the game (on lower settings) on a single GPU and telling me if the issue persists?
