Solved Display driver has stopped working.
I have a GTX 970 Zotac Extreme Core Edition and the updated drivers. When I first installed the updated driver it doesn't crash as much when time flew by it crashed when I am watching something or playing. The only solution to this problem is by rolling it back and using the driver in the CD that my video card provided. I want to use the updated drivers.

Hi if the driver that came on cd is not causing issues just use that and wait for another driver update. Are you having any problems with the driver that came with the card if not don't fix something that's not broke.

I heard that older versions of drivers affect performance?

Latest drivers are not ALWAYS the best one, it's a matter of trial and error. If your graphics card seems to be the only problem then roll back to the last driver that you used.

As you found out newer drivers are not always the best driver.
