[Solved] Nvidia GTX650 TI driver problems

Hey

I've recently upgraded my GPU from GT630 to GTX650 TI, after bootup with new card some applications (nearly all of them) had problems with rendering.
On KDE esktop notifications were just "invisible" (I had "blocks" made of elements from other windows that were covering that area, same applies to steam btw.

So, i did reinstall and now notifications have "only" broken fonts/text (about half of symbols are not printed into notification box), Kmail is crashing and after longer uptime (9 hours?) I have the same problems that i mentioned at start of this post.

uname -r

4.8.12-3-ARCH

Nvidia packages:

nvidia-utils
nvidia-libgl
nvidia-cg-toolkit
nvidia-settings
nvidia
lib32-nvidia-utils
lib32-nvidia-libgl
lib32-nvidia-cg-toolkit

Kmail log:

Pass a valid window to KWallet::Wallet::openWallet().
[1213/010004:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(217)] Running without the SUID sandbox! See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_suid_sandbox_development.md for more information on developing with the sandbox on.

*** KMail got signal 11 (Exiting)
*** Dead letters dumped.
KCrash: Application 'kmail' crashing...

P.S
When i try to install steam after installing some needed packages (and steam still not working after that) drivers are getting broken... I mean, I cant even use system settings from KDE because they're crashing (freezed view of window, i can move it, but window text is not interactive)

You don't say which version of the nvidia packages you are using, but recently I had to downgrade 375.20 to 375.10 to prevent kmail/kontact crashes (plus a few other KDE screen effects artifacts).

Thank you! Downgrading to 375.10 solved problem with steam, games are working correctly, I'll see if anything will break when uptime will be longer than 20 mins.

EDIT:
After longer uptime drivers are working propertly. (Also, on downgraded version I have better GPU usage (89% vs 30% on load) )
