Hi all!

So, whenever I play a game, the game runs great, and smooth. But after a random amount of time, my screen will recalibrate and I get the message "Nvidia Kernel Mode Drivers Stopped Responding and Has Successfully Recovered" I'm currently using latest Nvidia drivers.

The game will then just be black, and I can't get the picture back but I can hear the audio running in the background as if the game was still playable. I'm really stumped on what the problem is, any help is appreciated!

OS: Windows 7 64bit
GPU: GTX 660
CPU: i5 4440S
RAM: 8GB
PSU: SeaSonic 650watt

I have already tried increasing TdrDelay, and it didn't seem to help, I also don't get this problem when going on YouTube or playing on Emulators.
