Nvidia GTX 960 latest driver P3D v4 black screen

[IZ0JUB 162]

I have recently updated my Nvidia GTX 960 4 GB GPU to the latest driver and after several minutes of flying P3D v4 shuts the GPU off. I have tested the GPU using on-line software bench marking etc and it runs perfectly OK. My OS is Win 7 SP 1 64 bit.

 

I wonder if anyone else has experienced similar problems please?

 

Mike.

Thanks Brett for the link however it wasn't the GPU at fault. After many hours of scratching my head I found the problem. A few weeks ago in a moment of madness I re-installed FSX Steam edition to compare it with P3D v4. I subsequently un-installed it but unknown to me at the time a fsx.cfg file had been left in my P3D v4 set up, I don't know why.

I removed both fsx and p3d cfg files and re-started P3D to make a new one.

 

P3D v4 now works perfectly fine.

 

Thanks again.....................cheers and beers Mike.
