Ok, so I keep getting a TDR and it says "Display Driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Has Stopped Responding and Has Successfully Recovered."

I have tried everything to fix this. This isn't even an old computer. It's only a few months old and it's been doing it since the very beginning.

I've tried reformatting and reinstalling Windows. I've tried older and newer video card drivers. Upping my PSU wattage. Replacing the video card. Lowered my CPU temp. Registry repair and cleaner (I called up technicians and they want over $150 to repair it, yeah right). I've run memory tests (which came out fine). I've looked up to see if I have the malware "iehighutil.exe" that farms for bitcoins which people said fixed the same problem if they remove it.

Absolutely nothing has worked. My specs are AMD A10 5800k CPU, EVGA 650TI video card, ASUS F2A85-M PRO motherboard, 2x4GB PNY memory. The only thing I haven't done is changing the voltage to the CPU and/or GPU, but I don't like messing with those kind of things, but I doubt it's the problem.

Someone please help.

as the CPU has quite prominent onboard graphics, maybe the PC is switching to or activating the onboard graphics, which is what is causing the display driver error. have you made sure that the onboard graphics is disabled in the BIOS and in all software?

I'm pretty sure it automatically gets disabled once I put in my NVIDIA card because I can't find anywhere in the BIOS that says I can disable it. I didn't have to do anything for it to recognize my NIVIDA. I just connected it to NVIDIA and I was able to use it. I also uninstalled everything relating to the onboard graphics card. Even in device manager it doesn't say it even exists.

When I do an analysis with WhoCrashed, it says a third party driver is the probable cause. But it doesn't say what that third party driver is.

StarT with the easy stuff. Make sure your mb bios is up to date so it as the newest CPU and ram code. In the bios make sure the mb is running in asus standard mode not performance mode. The other mode can change the ram to CPU timing and cause issues. Use Cpuz read the ram spd info. Make sure your using it at it stock 1333 settings for now. Some ram runs at 1.6v at 1600 speed so you may have to bump the dram voltages up. On the mb make sure ram is in the right main slots per the mb guild. Some people put the ram in the same colored slots. Some times that ok some times not.

Ok. I needed to update my BIOS. It was about 6 months out of date. My MB was already in standard mode and it was already at 1333 settings. The user manual for my MB says its best for the RAM to be in the same colored slots. If I still get the problem, I'll switch them out. And then if I still get the problem, I'll let you know.

Make sure the mb set your ram settings right. Use Cpuz and read the ram spd ino.

Ok, well it looks like that didn't fix it. I don't know what to do. Nothing seems to fix it.

What the brand and size of the power supply. Could be a weak power supply.

Corsair CX500. It's a 500w. It says my video card needs a minimum of 400w and 20 amps on a +12v rail. My power supply has 39A at +12v rail. So my power supply should be more than enough.

Try gpuz see if the pic slot reading your card right. Sometimes it can be a bad slot or dirt. If your mb has another video card slot try the gpu in that slot.

It seems my video card crashes at 1071mhz. It does this even if I do an offset of -143 to make it 928mhz, which I was told is NVIDIAS recommended clockspeed. Anyone know why it does this? I've tried using EVGA Precision X and MSI Afterburner to do the offsets.
