hello everyone i have had an issue over the past 2-4 months now where i will be playing a game anything from a simple flash to lately ff14 a realm reborn,firefall or even just league of legends and in mid game randomly my entire screen will flash black for a second or two even if im in a windowed application. when it recycles whatever game im playing will be super choppy completely unplayable with next to no textures loading and will have 10 fps if that. i am using msi afterburner and my gpu will suddenly hit 99% and hover there until i close the program completely. the pc temp stays the same as does cpu usage. oh also i get a message in the corner saying windows nvidia kernel version x.x.x has stopped responding and has been recovered. i did some searching on that and it tracks back to windows tdr...i had it turned off and i still get the same issue so i turned it back on.the games i run usually medium to very high settings without an issue. this happens to me once every few days. I'm using ...

CPU- AMD FX-6200 Processor 3.8GHz
motherboard- Asus M5A97 R2.0
ram- G.SKILL RipjawsX Series 8GB
psu- ThermalTake TR2 500W
hdd- Seagate 1TB Barracuda SATA III
os- windows 7 ultimate
gpu-Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti

plz any help to stop this would be amazing

sorry i had reset it to factory a while back and than the issues started. all i did was use the nvidia control panel and under the performance tab clicked factory shipped frequencies to restore them.

Sounds like the VRAM might be playing up. First update your drivers if you haven't done that. If that does not help, can you add a little voltage? Or go back to you OC? You might need a new card, but try to get this one stable till you can buy.
