For a while now my display drivers have been crashing. My main game WoW it doesnt happen much, But other games such as the newly released Dragon Age: Inquisition it crashes A LOT it also happens on other games, Dragon age 2, BF3/BF4.
What happens is my screen will go Black as if the GFX card has turned off or something, it will come back on with a windows notification "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered: Display driver NVIDIA windows Kernel mode driver, Version 344.75(have tried many drivers) stopped responding and has successfully recovered" which then crashes my game.
I have read around on the forums and found a post to try Heaven Benchmark and so i did.
I ran it in DX11 Ultra/high/medium graphic settings tessellation at extreme, normal, Moderate and disabled. AA at disabled 2x 4x and 8x... All resulted in my display drivers crashing i think a total of 10 - 15 crashes with them settings.
I ran it in DX9 and the only crash i had was when i turn AA to 8x and then no more I had it on 2x before changing it and not one crash i left to to run through all 26 scenes.
I'm trying to diagnose the problem so I can get it fixed I've also been told my PSU is kinda crappy just trying to figure out if its my PSU or GPU only want to buy one replacement trying to figure out which one it is.
