I grabbed one of those logitech g510 gaming keyborads a coupla years back & for some reason decided to load the logitech drivers for it I generally use it for the illuminated keyboard - setting up macros all timed correctly strikes me as being more of a pain than learning a combo - but each to their own.

Anyway it seems like ever since I've been having sporadic issues with NVidia driver crashes where the screen goes black for a few seconds then reappears with a system message about the nvidia drivers having shut down.
More frequently I have had a 'freeze' issue particularly when browsing on the net my mouse slows right down the cursor becomes a thin vertical line and eventually both keyboard & mouse are unresponsive until I reboot.
I initially treated this as a resource conflict & swapped around usb inputs for devices. I had some remission when I tossed the old cordless mouse & grabbed a razer plug in corded mouse.
But lately the issue has come back worse than ever.

I've hunted round the net & found some peeps claiming the fault lies with physx & others who claim the issue is with Logitech setpoint drivers.

No one anywhere I've looked offers any real working fix I have ripped out logitech drivers& tried older/none but that doesn't do anything.
I will say that this got worse about the time I upgraded to NV 320.14 drivers My current physx version is 9.12.1031 but I can't remember if that was an upgrade at the same time or not.
I had previously been running NV 310.90 drivers.
Intermittent faults make it tricky to pinpoint the exact change which precipitated them.

I realise this isn't a tech head zone but if anyone had had something similar to this & found a solution I would appreciate hearing it.

My rig is what it is a i5 2500k 8 gigs of corsair ddr3-1600 with a asus gtx 560 Ti on an asus p8z68-v pro. Yeah I should prolly upgrade it but I'm reluctant to even consider that until I have this sorted. iirc I haven't touched the uefi since I installed the system - no overclocking no performance ahead of reliability settings just a vanilla rig which seems it has some sorta software conflict I'm too stupid to resolve.

Have you tried the option to do a clean install with the nvidia drivers, where it erases all previous settings? Also the trick of nvidia uninstall everything, reboot, clean the residue with an nvidia cleaning tool, reboot again, install latest drivers, reboot (fucking windows) helped me out in the past with nvidia driver problems.

Have always been running setpoint and nvidia, never had a problem with them interfering. Dont have the g510 though.

as said by rpe do a clean installl of the drivers clean with a tool (driversweeper (get the older version (best one is 3.2 if ya can't find it send me a pm here and i'll upload it) (don't get the driverfusion crap unless you pay it doesn't delete even half of what it's supposed to do))

and conflicts with setpoint do happen from time to time but usually a fresh install of the driver that has the issue solves it (not allways sadly as can be proven on my second pc with a Mx 510 that behaved badly for a while till i got a very old version of setpoint to run again)

personally i haven't had issues with nvidia drivers / physx and setpoint but i've had other random ones even one taking down my soundcard Rolling Eyes the thing with logitech drivers is that if they work they're great when they don't it's a bloody pain in the ass finding wth is going on
