GPU acting up

[The GI of MA]

so about 10 minutes ago my screen froze all of a sudden for a few seconds then a notification pops up about a driver failing and recovering
anyway this scared me so i updated my drivers, and i'm running virus scans rn
and now it says i can safely eject my gpu (an evga gtx 970 btw)

please help :(

eject it before the crash!

serious: open up your computer, clear dust and re-set your GPU and RAM. check cable connections also.

uninstall drivers, reinstall drivers

The GPU ejection thing is a bug with the latest driver update, I've heard it has something to do with.... thunderbolt connection support? Not sure.

eject it
I dare you

[Kobewarrior]

how far do you think that gpu can fly when it ejects

[Kamutog]

I actually tried it before; it just turns the screen off then realizes it needs a graphics card so the screen comes back on but it tells you the GPU is "safe to remove"

[Satan From Wreck-It-Ralph]

eject it

[Bisjac]

Nvidia already patch updated drivers to fix the eject bug.
Means you dont have the update.
