I was totally fine all of Friday afternoon, played about 5 games of KOTH with absolutely no issues. Went on it later that night and had crashing constantly until Sunday when I eventually gave up. I wonder why yours wasn’t crashing, the behaviour of it is so weird 
I think I didn’t fix 
, the random freezing is back
Yea, I think the 60FPS was a placebo effect. It eventually froze on the Tech Test, and on GOW4. It’s hard to really test things like that when the freezing is so random, it can be a few seconds after loading the game, or 5 hours later.

I will try the medium settings tonight
Hopefully MS is working with their own Game Studio devs on this issue:
This is for upcoming Win 10 build 18945 that people on the Insider Preview program can get now. There were already people getting crashes in the Tech Test that were related to Easy Anti-Cheat.

I had anti cheat listed as the issue for most of my bsods. No I don’t cheat before anyone asks.

Yea, I’m pretty sure it’s not suppose to BSOD your PC if it finds a cheat anyhow. It’s known for alerting to tons of false-positives.
I really do hope they fix everything, and in time for launch, because regardless of the criticisms I give, I do like the fact they’ve listened on so many fronts. I want to get it early for the Terminator stuff, but man, the particular issues in the Tech Test definitely have me worried, especially when the biggest one, the hard-freeze BSOD, is identical to the one yet to be fixed in GOW4.
That’s why we need people sending those memdumps in to Nvidia. MS needs to chill out on their Win 10 major updates also, and really do better testing. Nvidia could fix the issue through a driver possibly, then MS could mess it up all over again with a major update they don’t properly test. I believe that’s what happened with GOW4 after 382.53.

Someone tell me to downgrade my driver for gears of war 4 , I don’t remember what driver he say to me to install , did you have try?
382.53
DDU (Uninstaller program)
Turn off windows auto updating drivers.
DDU? What is it? If I just install the old driver , Nvidia uninstall automatically the driver on my pc I think ,

Display Driver Uninstaller, it completely removes everything relating to the current driver install. You usually want to reboot in safe mode to use it. Then you reinstall the driver you want to install once DDU is complete and auto-reboots. It’s a way to do a completely clean install, sometimes it may be necessary when things are left over that can cause issues with installed drivers.

If I just install the old driver doesn’t work?
Dunno, I haven’t gone back to 382.53 in forever. @III_EnVii_III and @GhostofDelta2 would know better than me.

It usually does, but doesn’t always clear everything out.
I fell victim to this only once switching back and forth between drivers so I could play Gears 4 and Shadow of War respectively.
Its one of those better safe than sorry things.
After playing the gears 5 tech test religiously and getting top 1 % masters in ranked, I have to say as a gears Veteran that this is so tragic. I switched to PC as GoW 4 came out and ended up playing my Xbox more than my PC because of the crashes. Also I’ll mention not only because of the crashes, but the horrendous wait times on PC to find ranked games, most likely due to Xbox players turning off cross play, also affected my decision to play on Xbox. I took a break from GoW 4 and have sold my Xbox many months ago, but now as Gears 5 comes out and it has the same problems as Gears 4, the Nvidia 10 series gpu problem is looking more dire than ever. Same bsod and PC freezes in the middle of ranked games tilts me off the earth every time. Literally no other game on my computer causes me any problems except for Gears, and I don’t want to buy another console just to play one game when I have a PC that should be able to play said game. I really hope this problem is resolved before launch.

The funny thing is, out of sheer desperation, I was tempted to try the 431.70 driver a few days ago.
LOL, so much for that fix, just froze on me on around 3rd game of Social Quickplay.
