As per the title, avoid this driver, causing BSODS, lockups, black screens and loads of other problems.

According to the internet Nvidia has urged customers to avoid the latest driver and instead install a beta version of the 364.51 driver.
The initial investigation suggests the issue was related to doing an 'Express' installation. If you happen to have a pending installation of 364.47, they recommend that you do not install it and use the new 364.51 beta version or wait for the WHQL certified version.
Generally it is best to create a system restore point on your computer before updating any software so that you can roll back a driver if problems occur.
Version: 364.51 WHQL
Release Date: 2016.3.8
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

364.47 has been pulled, no longer available and 362.54 WHQL released, which is according to the Nvidia forum also badly bugged, to be safe avoid it!
Last stable driver is supposedly 362.00
