Hello.
Since I updated to Windows 10 i get the above message when my game crashes (only 2 games crash...WoWs and WoT). Didn't had any problems on Windows 7. Tried everything, as in TdrDelay, downlocking and other fixes found on google but nothing works. My setup is: i5-3570, Asus P8 H77-V LE motherboard, 16 Gb DDR 3 , Gigabyte R9 270X OC with 4Gb of Vram.
Please help!. Thank you.

It could be several different things, but the best place to start (which would fix many of the probable causes in one fail swoop) would be to do a clean install of Windows 10. When a computer updates to Windows 10 though Windows Update a bunch of old residual files gets carried over (as well as file fragments, old registry fragments, old drivers that may be hanging around, ect, ect...) After you update to Windows 10 though Windows Update (so that your license gets carried over into Windows 10 from Windows7) it is best to do a clean install of Windows 10.

You will of course have to back up all of your important files so you don't loose them, and you will have to reinstall all your programs and games after the clean install. I always...

Did that...completely uninstalled the drivers and installed "fresh" one from the AMD page (the manufacturer, Gigabyte only has drivers up to windows 8.1 for my card)...same issue :(

It really is the best way. Afterwards you will have only the latest drivers installed (you will of course have to go online to the official websites and get newest drivers for your individual devices) for all your devices (no old drivers hanging around), your registry will be totally clean, and if you had any nasty Malware that was able to hide it will also be removed. After doing a clean install your computer will feel like its brand new again:D
