Right this problem I have has been occurring since I've gotten the desktop and I'm dumbfounded as to what it is. I've asked my friends who have a pretty extensive history with computers and they're dumbfounded as well. We've tried troubleshooting almost every single item we could think of and still we don't know what's the story.
What I run on my desktop is as follows...
-OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
-Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
-System Type x64-based PC
-Processor AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor, 3500 Mhz, 3 Core(s), 6 Logical -Processor(s)
-BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. P2.00, 8/30/2012
-Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB
-Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series
-Driver Version 12.104.0.0
The motherboard is brand new. The Graphics Card is brand new. The Processor is brand new. I have a brand new 680 watt power supply. My SSD and HD are also recently purchased. The only thing that has not been replaced on my desktop are the fans and case itself. Oh and the CD player but I never use that anyway.
In any case almost every time I start a game; say Sid Meier's 5 or Natural Selection 2. Tomb Raider or Guild Wars 2. World of Tanks or Battlefield 3. Almost every single time my monitor goes dark and it either:
A) Comes back and everything is fine
B) The game crashes and I get an error message
C) The screen stays dark but I can still see my mouse cursor
D) The screen stays dark, can't see anything, but I can still hear the game
E) The screen stays dark and nothing can be heard
And when I am then forced to manually close the program the message saying, "The display driver has crashed and successfully recovered" message is right there in the bottom right hand corner taunting me. Sometimes if I load the game again it starts fine and I don't have a problem again...at least till the next day. Or the game just crashes again and again forcing me to give up in frustration.
Now my graphic settings on these games aren't set on high. And from the hardware I have I should be fine even if I did so. No my settings are on low or medium and I still have these problems. I've removed and installed Windows 7/drivers/etc more times I can count. I've googled the message up top and tried all the solutions that were hopefully supposed to work. Needless to say I haven't had any luck in that area.
I've also sometimes wondered if perhaps my power was faulty as well. Like enough juice wasn't getting to the computer. Well I've moved my desktop around the house, to my friends houses, to my workplace, changed the power cords, changed the surge protectors and...nothing. It happens still. By this time I've grown to almost accept this but I will give this one more try. I will post this thread and hope that someone/anyone could possibly figure out what is wrong with this demonic desktop of mine.
Oh also I've tried running my games with nothing running in the backround and with all window settings turned to best performance. Happens still.

Better. Haven't crashed yet except when first starting Civ 5 but that might be due to the fact that Civ 5 in its very nature is a very resource heavy game.
That and the fact I was too quick from the get go and didnt give the map enough time to fully load lol.
Still so far so good. Thanks! Hopefully this works longer than tonight!

Well it looked like everything was fine but just started Sid Meier 5 today and I constantly freeze. I'm forced to restart every single time it happens. Tried seeing if it were my mods or the graphic settings but those checked out fine. Do I have to change the gpu clock settings or the power control settings?
