Recent NVIDIA Drivers Causing Crashes (40 series cards only)

[CarrieS]

We are currently seeing reports that recent NVIDIA drivers are causing crashes on RTX 40-series GPUs (4060, 4070, etc). If you are using one of these cards, we recommend using the April Studio driver or earlier for now.

We are in contact with NVIDIA as it seems the problem is within the driver and not Chief Architect. We'll update this post as soon as we have more information or a confirmed fix.

I had to revert back to the April 23 driver and then in worked again. 

 

Go here to get the older driver and istall it:

Yep, can confirm. This crash has been plaguing me for weeks now on both my RTX 4070 Super desktop and 4070 work laptop. Driver 569.49 from May 12 is stable (for me).

This issue persists across three consecutive Nvidia driver updates. Currently, neither Nvidia nor Chief Architect support has provided a timeline for a fix.

I reverted back to the April driver and its still crashing sometimes every few minutes! Hope there is a solution soon.

@joselyn_renWhen you install the the driver I recommend using the "Custom (Advanced)" option and choose the option for Clean Install. Sometimes remnants from previous drivers can interact and still cause crashing. Technical Support has had consistent success with this approach. Feel free to contact Support if you'd like help with the process.
