I usually run at 1080, or in triples at 5760x1080, but when I brought my PC to my friends' house for gaming and set it to 4k it caused a lot of problems and frequent crashes. I thought this might be related to Windows 7 since it's getting older. I'm considering bringing it over today and thinking about installing Windows 10 on a spare HDD, but I'd rather not if possible. Do you have any advice on making 4k work on Windows 7?

The system specifications are Windows 7 and 4K operating smoothly.

FX-8350 and GTX960. Okay, sure, it's not great, but I was only trying to run FEAR and Yakuza 0, both of which it should've been able to run fine.

Which display cable is used on the system? It might not support 4K resolution. I also suggest performing a fresh installation of the GPU driver using DDU.

He was streaming over HDMI directly to his TV. It seems okay using 4K since the signal comes from the XOne X.

Various HDMI standards support distinct resolutions and refresh speeds. One version can achieve 4K at just 30Hz. Consider testing games at 4K 30Hz to assess improvement. It is advisable to perform a fresh installation of the graphics driver first.

You might want to consider that option. It doesn't usually adjust the refresh rate beyond standard settings, and you can't exceed 60Hz on your HDMI displays.

Yes, it does, if it allows running at 60Hz it's likely not the cable, but irregularities can occur.
It might be a driver problem.

It seems like you're considering updating the Nvidia drivers or reducing the overclocking.

The overclocking process may definitely lead to issues.
Please try testing the GPU overclock using GPUPI 3.3.3.
