Windows 10 Nvidia drivers crashing while playing ToR

Yea I've been having a lot of issues with my Nvidia drivers crashing a lot while playing ToR since upgrading to Windows 10, I haven't had issues with any other game I've been playing recently (MGS V). I'll be playing and all of a sudden my screen will go black and it'll come back and windows will say something about "Kernel mode driver has crashed and recovered." I never had this problem with Win 7. I'm running a GTX 980 and I've cleaned my rig recently thinking it might be dust build up and still the problem persists. I tried rolling back to the first driver Nvidia released for Win 10 and it still had the same problem and it's been doing it on every driver since.

    I have a GTX 970 and it has been working with 358.50, 358.87 and 358.91, which is to say all driver releases since i fixed the problem.

    I am running a Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX970 on WIn 10 on full ultra and no issues playing swtor for hours , I do get driver restart notification using facebook 😕

    Upgraded to 358.91 myself tonight , not sure why AA is causing you issues

    Which manufacturer is your card ?

    Something just learnt of is the debug mode introduced with 355.82 drops the card down to default reference clocks , learn something everyday , see here

    Be interesting to see if downclocking stops the crashes when using ingame AA
