Video display Driver error and random System Reboots when playing games.
I have an i7 k875 2.93GHz CPU with a GTX 465 GPU. I updated from windows 7 to windows 10 a while back as the Nvidia site said that the GTX 465 was compatible.
When I play games like heroes of the storm or other games, even basic trading card games, the game crashes and I get the video card error, or it just freezes, or it reboots. It is very frustrating.
I tried using old drivers/reinstalling the newest driver with clean installs/and changing the TDR settings to add a delay to 8 so the driver would not crash. Seems like none of these work as I keep getting the issue at random times.
Also checked the RAM with diagnostics and it came out as OK.
Will going back to Windows 7 fix this issue? Once I go back to windows 7 I wont be able to use 10 again without paying. How do I know if this is my GPU failing as it is too old or something else?
