I built my first computer a couple weeks ago and have been having some video card issues. At random times it will either blank screen or BSOD. The two errors are video tdr error and 0xa0000001. I ran who crashed so I know that something with the drivers is the problem but I know I got the latest drivers. Someone please help!

It could be drivers, but maybe not. BSODs are a lot of times related to memory issues. Try downloading Memtest and letting it run for an hour or so and see if you get errors. A lot of people would probably say to run it longer to make sure, but I normally just let mine run for one full cycle, since if the RAM is really unstable or has major faults it will show up in that time period.

Ok so now it's decided to be stubborn. I've restarted about 20 times but I can't get to the login screen before it crashes and most of the time the BSOD is is just a blue screen with white lines everywhere like the the text was stretched to the point where you can't read anything.

Could still be RAM issue or possibly a video card issue. Your best chance to find an easy solution is to download and install Memtest on a flash drive and run it on your system.
