Nvidia have released new beta drivers 320.00, which should address players having to disable CUDA. If for any reason any players still have this issue, please reply in this thread or visit Nvidia support forum.

Jotun-Edit
Some players are reporting that switching off CUDA in the nVidia control panel seems to help this issue. It's not an officially supported work around so use at your own risk but many users have reported that this appears to fix this issue. We're investigating further. Thank you for your patience.
Hello i have now had my nvidia geforce gtx 680 for a few month now and ever sins i got it. I have had problems with getting a red screen of death when i quit apb....
i know i'am not the the only one with this issue. i have seen it mentioned on multiple driver topics...
today i found this news post on videocardz.com http://videocardz.co...-of-death-issue
i kinda sounds to me like apb might be doing the same thing (trying to get info from the videocards bios)
this issue will most likely be fixed by a driver update but until then, is there anything you can do to make apb not do this? (if apb does it at all that is)
edit: this issue also exist for gtx 670

anyway, I'm not entirely sure it only happend to me when playing/quiting APB, so that's why I brought my PC back to the store.. (wassn't using monitoring tools or anything, yet it happend.. probably when quiting APB..) so anyhow I have a problem that needs to get fixed, but is this a simply driver fix? Are there drivers that already make sure I'm not getting red screens when quiting APB n stuff?
Might have brought my PC back for repair for no reason :/ , Because I Doubt they will be able to reproduce the red screens / find a solution for it..
Is there anyone out here, that knows a solution that will perm. fix the red screens? are the driver LAVANS is talking about drivers that make the red screens go away? (did you used to have red screens and fixed it with these specific drivers?)
Please reply!
Us, GTX680 / APB users/players NEED to get this fixed!
Thanks in advance!

will get back with more info if it helps
this problem is most likely related to the info sent to gamers first doing errors... well that is my guess anyways..
even if the next "official" public drivers fix the problem it still may be a good idea to fix it in the game aswell so that people that aint as good at updating there drivers don't give up on playing apb.
edit: now this is interesting after installing 302.59 i try'ed closing apb a few times ... even forcing it to do so using the task manager (i'am guessing that will cause a few errors) and got no red screen of death
looks like the dev drivers fixed it... that said it is not really fixed before the drivers is open to the public and not on 3rd party sites

If you read this, could do like a test of a couple of hours and then quiting and see what happens? then reply back here?
Thanks in advance!

Could be, However this still issn't a perm. fix. APB should fix this then, because it seems I'm only having red screens after quiting APB.. (Cannot remember I still had any after uninstalling all monitoring programs and doing a clean install on drivers.
Anyhow are you having red screens like I do after playing for a while and then quiting? (I could reproduce it 100% after playing for couple of hours > quiting )
So.. could you try and kill that process and try and reproduce your red screens and report back here and see what happens? (if this would fix my red screen issue for APB then I would be more then happy, since I don't think I'm getting any RSOD's anymore besides when quiting APB)
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: You are using a GTX-680 aswell right??

The 600 series is generally quite buggy.

Anyway Just got my PC back, Just going to stop playing APB for a while untill I get news about new drivers perm fixing this issue. Like other I haven't experienced this issue (yet) in other games. So aslong as I am not getting them in other games I can live with it. Played Diablo 3 yesterday for hours, no problems and no RSOD when quiting. Also played few hours league of legends, also no problems at all..
To be continued..

i have tried waiting a min or 2 but not more then that
i always thought it crashed for real as it sounds like all audio dies aswell (skype calles end as soon as the red screen shows itself (the people i talk to cant hear me aswell)
will have to test powering down the monitor next time....
when i see the red screen i usually restart right away as i have my windows installed on a ssd so getting back takes less then 2 min ( :
still pisses me off thought.... this really should be fixed asap!
