GTX 980 Unable to Render Any Scene

Like the title says my GTX 980 is unable to complete even a single frame of the default cube scene or any scene. Usually the GPU will get one block of the image done and then it crashes with this error.

I have the Latest Driver from Nvidia and this issue has been happening for months over numerous drivers. I have the latest version of Blender.

My specs are

Windows 10 X64
Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 4GB
Intel Core I7 6700K 4.00GHz
24 GB RAM

I’m also running Blender on a 4k Monitor at 4k but my renders are usually 1080p.

Anybody have any idea what could be causing this? Would love to get this resolved because it kind of sucks being unable to use such a nice card for rendering.
