[Bug?] Drivers forgetting I have a G-sync display

The first time I thought it was a fluke but it just happened again. I started a game, noticed some stuttering and tearing so I check the monitor OSD and G-sync is not enabled. In the control panel the vsync behavior has been changed back to default and G-sync is no longer an option, like I don't have a G-sync display attached. I have to reboot to fix it. Has anyone else experienced this?

Have you tried reinstalling the driver with clean install? Can you give me your system specs to see if we can reproduce here?

I actually already sent you system information to check into the tearline problem I've been having. Here are the links again:
DXdiag,
nVidia System Info
Windows 7 64 bit
Intel Core i5-4670k @4GHz
GTX 760
8 GB RAM
I'll try a clean install with the new beta driver but it may be a while before I can confirm if that fixed anything or not since it has only happened twice in about a month.

(Idea: Maybe re-run DXdiag and nVidia System Information again the next time you see this happens?)

It just happened again. I noticed that G-sync wasn't functioning while playing a game and G-sync is not available in the control panel. This is the first game I've launched today, but I believe G-sync was functioning was a video player earlier in the day. Here are the new
DXdiag and
nVidia System Info

Quick update: I left my computer on overnight with the monitors turned off. Today, G-sync is working again. I'm pretty sure I tried power cycling the monitor the first time this happened so I'm not sure what to think at this point.

This has happened to me as well. It happened once a couple weeks ago and I didn't think much of it, but it's happened twice so far today.

I'm up to 4 or 5 times now? At least that I've noticed.

I'm running a different OS and card than you, so I don't think the problem is with those. Might be the drivers?

Just thought I'd add my name to the list too. This happened to me a few minutes ago. I was playing a game for an hour or so, when I noticed my display flicker or change colors or something, it was something that made me stop for a split second. So I hit my OSD and it said 'normal' mode instead of 'gsync'.
I then went to the Nvidia Control Panel and like magic, the option for use Gsync was gone, so was the set up Gsync tab. A reboot brought everything back to normal. Any idea on what this is guys ?
My driver is 334.89 and I've had it installed for a few weeks now no problems.
