If it's a new computer, first ensure all the motherboard drivers, etc, have been installed correctly. A lot of new builds sometime miss these system drivers, which upsets the additional drivers such as the graphic card on top (the computer normally also appears a bit sluggish using default drivers) - You can check under Control Panel > Device Manager for any "?" Unknown or "!" Warning or default drivers to replace/update/install. Ensure the fans / temperature of the system and graphic card is normal (not overheating), this is a first safety check more than anything, which can cause graphical glitchs / crashing out. You might want to test the graphics card in another system, use the warranty if found still faulty as hardware failure.

If it's not a hardware issue, then try the following (as Microsoft tends to hold onto drivers even if you attempt to uninstall / reinstall, they need to be cleaned else it reuses the same corrupted ones):
Go to your "control panel" -> "programs and features" or "add/remove programs" -
Uninstall the NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver
Uninstall the NVIDIA PhysX
Next is the Microsoft trick (don't uninstall the main driver from above, instead), go to your "control panel" -> "device manager" -
In your device manager, navigate to the display adapters. Click on the little + button next to display adapters and you should now see your graphics card listed. Right click on your graphics card and click uninstall. At this point a you'll get a pop up window- NOTE: be sure to put a check mark in the box to "delete the driver software for this device".
Now that your driver is uninstalled we need to delete the installation driver folders. These can be located in the following locations
C:/NVIDIA/ (Delete the "DisplayDriver" folder)
C:/Program Files (x86)/NVIDIA Corporation/ (Delete the entire "NVIDIA Corporation" folder)
Reboot and press F8 as your computer starts up to enter safemode.
(Note: Windows will install a generic VGA driver once you boot. That is totally fine and will not affect your install. There is no need to remove it)
Use driver sweeper or similar to uninstall the drivers. (Optional)
Then while still in safemode, install the offical graphic card 64bit drivers from: http://www.geforce.com/drivers
Install:
NVIDIA Display Drivers
NVIDIA PhysX (Rest is optional)
By doing in safemode, your'll prevent Microsoft or thrid party security software such as your virus scanner, etc, from affecting/locking/blocking the file installations. Then reboot again into normal Windows.

This is the configuration of a computer that has a friend. Installed Nvidia drivers 310.90. When he play games like (DX11) Hitman: Absolution, Sleeping Dogs game freezes and gets the message "Nvidia kernel mode has stopped working and has been recovered" or just freeze all and have to reboot the system. Does anyone else have a similar problem. Otherwise the old drivers work well, but have problems with textures in some games. Advice?
