For a few months I've had this issue where my Graphics Drivers will just crash and fail to recover regardless of how many times I reinstall/change them. Here's what BluescreenView says:http://puu.sh/6UZ6q/1a4cf64116.png . Any ideas?

It sound like a RAM problem, How old is your Ram? How many do you have? What is the Size?

Ok then it is Most likely a ram problem. The more dense a single DIMM is, the higher chance of corruption or failure. You can wait for DDR4 where the PCB can be more dense and maintain stability or go and buy 2x4 gb sticks, I recommend that you keep the receipt just in case its not the problem.

How do you know it's a RAM problem anyway?

Run a ram test on your ram and see if you have failure before spending money on new ram you may or may not need. http://www.memtest.org/#downiso . You can write the image to a USB Stick and boot with that to test the ram.

Most blue screen errors are caused by ram faults. If you ever seen "Mem_Dump" as the BSoD, it is the core problem
