I've encountered an odd error that happens occasionally, but often enough to be a bother. Somewhere in the region of 1 in 20 times I exit fullscreen. I play many fullscreen games -- it has never happened with any app other than Dolphin.
Upon exiting fullscreen, the entire system will show a weird blur or doubling effect. If I enter fullscreen mode again, the screen will cease output and remain so until a hard reboot. The same for if I try to change the resolution via the windows settings. This also occurs if I put the system to sleep and try to wake it up. It will sleep, and then wake up with a blank screen, and no peripheral activity (keyboard will remain off), requiring a hard boot. The system will also not shut down normally, it will remain stuck with a blank screen.
It has been happening for almost a year as far as I can remember. It happened today again and I was able to take a photo. I suspect it may be a driver corruption. I don't expect anyone to provide a fix, but I wonder if anyone at least has any tips for how to restart my graphic driver without a hard boot? I hardly ever shut down my computer, and usually put it to sleep -- so this issue requiring a hard reboot to resolve causes a disruption of the apps I keep open.

I have an nvidia 1080 GTX with the latest drivers. I've performed cleanses with DDU across several updates, and it has occurred for months across many nvidia driver versions.
I had been using the stable 5.0 release, but lately I installed the 5.0 -5634 developer release. It happens across both versions.
