Thanks a lot for your help

Have you found solution for this i am also getting same problem

I never found a solution. I resorted to using the integrated graphics instead of the NVIDIA gpu. I have switched back to using the NVIDIA gpu in ā€˜On Demandā€™ mode and havenā€™t had an issue in a while. Iā€™m guessing whatever bug caused the problem has been fixed by a driver update.
