I thought the issue might be my hard drive, but I just caught the error in action. I have a Nvidia 460 GTX with an 850w PSU (overkill I know, but I had intended to replace it with a GTX 780 as this is a whole new system, but I didn't have enough money to spend at the time of building, about a month ago, and I pulled the 460 from my previous system). Anyways, the whole computer freezes, screen doesn't go black. Then it eventually recovers.. any insight would be helpful.

Here's the event viewer system log:

The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

Do I have an old version? I can't find power management.

I did what you said in the control panel earlier today. I just got home from work and randomly got a BSOD (first BSOD ever on this sytem mind you)

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 (0xfffff880081ca000, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffff880061e7fa0). A dump was saved in: C:\windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 071913-32245-01.

Bump. Same issue after setting power to max performance. I also did a clean install of my drivers a few days ago:
