I just bought a Gigabyte nvidia gt 710. After some issues couple of months back i had to change the cpu case and thus the ports of the graphic card didn't fit properly through the backside opening and so i had to cut that metal part. After i installed the Graphic card i started have an issue with the monitor and it would loose video feed for some seconds and then suddenly come back online. i also started facing bluescreen when ever i played a game and it said, "dcs watchdog violation".
Is it due to loose connection or something else.
Ram-4 gb
OS- WINDOWS 10 32 BIT BUT CAPABLE OF 64 BIT
Processor - intel dual core duo
Graphic memory - 2 gb
I tried the method of changing the setting of ' choose what happens when i press the power button' in the control pannel but it didn't help in any way.

i would first try and update the motherboard audio driver from the motherboard vendor website and see if that fixes the problem.
otherwise you need to copy the files from c:\windows\minidump directory to a server like microsoft onedrive, share the files as public and post a link here.

the watchdog timer means that the GPU did not respond within its time out period (2 seconds) and direct x thinks the hardware failed. It is pretty common for overclocked cards, bad power levels to GPUs. if you upgraded your system from a earlier versions of windows, it can be caused by old network drivers (for nvidia GPU) and the default motherboard sound driver conflicting with the sound support for video cards.
