Hey folks! I have been trying for about 9 hours straight now trying to fix this problem on my own, but I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world. I really need assistance with my problem in specific. I just built a new computer and it has been blacking out and popping back up saying

"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered
Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 327.23 stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

I've looked all around online and tried different things but I still can't get it to stop crashing, and after it tries to recover consecutively a few times it just BSODs on me and reboots. I would really appreciate some help if you guys can and I'll provide whatever information needed, just let me know what it is. Thanks for taking the time. :D

first off check that the motherboard bios is up to date. then with the power off check that your ram and gpu is seated and on the gpu all the power plugs are connected. also make sure the eight or four pin atx power plugs on the mb are in tight. run memtest86 from a boot disk to rule out a bad stick of ram. if the ram is fine then look to see if the power supply is under powered or not holding. (if you can use another ps as a test unit or see if you can swap the unit you have out. also check in the bios that xmp profile for your ram is on. most gpu crashed are from bad power or bad ram on the gpu.

Driver crashes are generally caused by bad drivers. Uninstall the current one, run a registry cleaner (CCleaner, or people use driver sweeper a lot), then reinstall.

If its not corrupt drivers then your looking at hardware, what kind of PSU do you have? A bad unit will cause such crashes.

The motherboard bios is up to date, and I made sure that the ram and gpu were seated and that all the power plugs were connected and tight. I ran Windows memory diagnostic real quick and it detected no problems and I'm not sure how to tell if the psu is under powered or not hold. I didn't find anything about xmp in the bios menus. I also did what mace was talking about and reinstalled the drivers for the graphic card and that didn't help anything. Is there more to do from here?
