Every now and then my screen freezes. When I'm fast enough to hit Ctrl + Alt + Del, my screen will unfreeze and display the following error message:
Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 361.43 stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

I think during that time the game is still running properly because the background music is still running fine. However when my screen unfreezes, the Game windows has become black. Therefor I need to restart the game. This happens to me almost every 30 minutes. I can't play like that.

However If I don't make it in time, my screen will stay frozen.

    All the of the NVIDIA graphic card updates have been unstable with ESO since September, I actually am still running on the 9/17/2015 build from NVIDIA as thats the latest version that doesn't cause ESO to black screen (audio still happens and you can still "play" but screen remains black until force quitting ESO)

    Alright. I used the Device Manager to roll back my display driver. Let's see if it works out. Thank you very much.

    This happens to me too. I have an EVGA GTX 970 and it will randomly crash and recover with ESO, but I will have to reload the game because the game screen is now completely black. The worst is when it would happen in trials or no-death runs.

    Thankfully it doesn't happen too often, but ESO is the only thing that crashes my display drivers like this.

    It happened with older drivers and it happens with the newest ones I have now.

    This has been happening to me also for about a week or so since the last update. I have a GeForce GTX 660 and driver version 361.43.

    This was happening to me as well. Rolling back drivers didn't help. Changing every conceivable video setting (both in-game and nvidia control panel) didn't help.

    Only thing that fixed it was completely uninstalling (reboot) and reinstalling (reboot again) video card drivers. Now it works fine, even with old drivers or the latest drivers.
    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.
