Im new here, so I really hope I posted this in the right place, And I apologize if I did not.



Hello,

Im having a serious problem when playing games. It seems to be happening several times per day now, ramping up from a bs every day or two for the past couple of weeks. A friend of mine recommended That I come here and see if some of you nice people would help me out.

Ive had the problems spanning multiple games now. All of them MMOrpgs.

Guild wars 2, Tera, World of Warcraft.

The PC crashes, and the all fans(I have 5) go into some sort of overdrive mode.

This is the error I get when I restart:

Problem signature:

When gaming and during that benchmark, my fan sensors tell me im running around 45 degrees C, up from around 39 C

It was recommended I post this as well.

Almost certainly the GPU:

Bug Check 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR

This indicates that an attempt to reset the display driver and recover from a timeout failed.

What is happening is the GPU Display Driver is crashing. After this happens, Windows attempts to reset the driver. If the driver does not restart properly, this BSOD gets generated.

This BSOD can happen for one of two reasons: An unstable driver, or a GPU hardware problem (VRAM is a very likely cause of this).

Try a different WHQL driver. If you still get this message, I'd highly recommend replacing the GPU. If the GPU is still in warranty, RMA and get a replacement.
