In this sort of situation, generally the best thing to do would be to try other driver versions -- either update to a driver in a beta branch, or roll back to an earlier version to see if the issue is only present with the current version of the driver. Other things to note might be to check whether you have any screen capture/recording programs open while KSP is running, as sometimes Unity is a bit iffy with those kinds of programs.

Also, do not alt+tab out of KSP, especially while KSP loads, you will break the game.

This happens to me occasionally. I believe it's an overheat issue in my case.

Had that also... some time it did recover, but most time bluescreen.... official firmware update resolved that GPU issue
