Hello, when i play any steam game for instance For Honor, I can play for about 10-30 minutes before my game crashes saying my GPU driver failed. I've tried reinstalling my drivers, & windows, factory resetting my pc, reinstalling my games, updating all my drivers, but nothing seemed to work.

The error reads...

"An error occured!
The GPU driver crashed. If the problem persists, please try to disable any overlay software, disable overclocking and update your GPU driver."

Specs-
GPU - Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB AORUS Xtreme Edition 11G Video Card
CPU - Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard - Asus - STRIX Z270-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Ram - Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (I have 32 gigs installed)
PSU - EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Storage - Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
SSD - Crucial MX300 250GB SATA 2.5" 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal SSD

Windows 10 Home (64 bit) is installed on my SSD

No overlock, my motherboard in bios runs at 30 degrees Celsius, and no idea for the rest

I asked a Nvidia live chat person, and i think i have it all figured out, they told me to:

The power management settings help in most of the cases. Here's on how to do it:
1.Go to NVIDIA control panel > 3 D settings > manage 3 D settings.
2.Program settings > add the .exe file of the game > set the power management mode to prefer maximum performance.
3.Click on Apply, close the control panel, launch the game and check if it helps.

Also to Set my Nvidia 3D Settings to default

I am thankful that you replied so soon, thank you!

lower your graphics down to high or medium, update the driver, change your resolution, make sure Direct X is installed properly and make sure your graphics card is safe, connected properly and has warranty. no offense but I also got that problem and easily resolved.

The problem was I have a faulty graphics card, any game I reach 100% gpu load leading me to crash. I contacted NVIDIA and they confirmed it. I dont know how to send it back though. If you have any knowledge about that, that would be great :)
