So I've been having some awesome (Display driver nvlddmkm stopped working...) errors when gaming, I went onto Nvidia's website and went over their statement on Tdr, they mentioned something about "Incorrect memory timings and voltage" which made me start to think "Hey maybe this could be the issue..", So I started to do some research and realized I had no clue what I was doing.

I have Hyperx Predator DDR3-2133, 8gb (4x2) RAM. I run it at the default on BIOS which comes out to be 1600 (which is perfectly fine for me, I understand it has the capability of running 2133 but my Mobo only supports 1833). As embarrassing as it is to say, I have no clue how to set the proper timings / voltage, etc.

The model number of the RAM is KHX21C11T2K2/8X, if anyone could lead me in the right direction on what to set in my BIOS I would love you forever!!!!



 
that memory thing is just on of the many reasons that can cause this error. and it's not the most probable.
so to understand what really causing this, think of when it started, what has changed like new drivers or new software that was installed.
also, what CPU do you use ?
is it overclocked ?

I have a I7-4770k CPU, all stock settings.

I always update the Nvidia Drivers on the day that they are released, I had the problem playing Overwatch on the previous driver and it hasn't gone away after updating it to 388.00 (I believe that's the current driver out at the moment)
I recently reformatted my computer in an attempt to fix the error, so outside of Windows updates / the most recent Nvidia Driver, I haven't added anything new.

The battle.net app and my computer have never seemed to get along, I always seem to have some sort of issue while playing on it, I tried repairing it, reinstalling it, running system scans to see if it's corrupted, etc...No issues found. Right now my issue is with Destiny 2, which runs off the bnet app. My screen freezes for about 10 seconds, I can hear sound ingame still, and then bam, it takes me to the desktop. For the first 3-4 days I didn't get any error reports, it would just close to my desktop....Finally, tonight, I got a prompt saying it had stopped responding and a windows error report was finally showing up which stated that the display driver had crashed and recovered, or something along those line..Sorry I'm currently on my phone so i can't check.
(I can run just about any game you can think of that isn't on the app with no issue at all, for example, BF1, PUBG, CSGO, FIFA 18)

The only reason I'm jumping to the conclusion that it might be a RAM error is because I've done just about everything else you could possibly think of, including everything on Nvidia's post talking about said error....
