    BSOD when playing games after getting new monitor


    So 2 days ago I got a new monitor and since then I've been having BSODs when playing games for about 20 minutes, at first the game will crash and then when I open it again after about 1 minute I will get a BSOD saying "Attempt to reset display driver and recover from time out failed".

    Hi SpongeSquid.

    The monitor is just an output device. It has nothing to do with a stop 0x116 BSOD.

    You Uninstall your installed latest version of the display driver.


    Then clean up any possible leftover.


    Then install any other version of the display driver which either 13.12 WHQL or higher (because your GPU will not support a driver below that one).

    When the driver is applied, stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
    Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

    Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.
    eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
    Also let us know the wattage of the PSU.

    Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: Speccy - Publish Snapshot of your System Specs .

    Are you overclocking?
    As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings.

    And, the most important thing is, install Service pack 1 and all other windows updates. Otherwise the system will remain vulnerable to threats.

    Thanks, I managed to fix it. I uninstalled my current drivers, used that driver sweeper thing and installed the beta drivers and now it works fine, played for about 2 hours with no bluescreen.

    Good news. :)

    Now observe the situation for some more days and let us know how it is running.

    So, today I fired up euro truck simulator 2 like i do every morning, played for about 3 hours without a problem. Had a 2 hour break, decided to play the game again, 10 minutes in the game crashes - I thought it was because I had installed a mod and I was just having problems with that, but no. I open up the game again and... the same bluescreen. My GPU couldn't have overheated, it was at about 38C at the time of the crash.

    I think this might actually be a problem with the game itself, it hasn't happened in any other game so far. Sometimes I can play for as long as I want but sometimes it will just bluescreen. I don't know why it would suddenly start happening, I haven't downloaded any updates for anything or the game.

    In that situation you need to contract the game developer. They must have custom settings or patches that will work for your system.

    Well I got the BSOD again but it happened in a different game. It's gotten really bad now and I can't play anything without it crashing.

    Okay, I tried older drivers but it didn't help so I installed the latest drivers back. I ran furmark for about 20 minutes and nothing happened, the GPU went up to about 80C. That website with the PSU calculation thing is too complicated, but my PSU is 620W and I had no problems before, it just suddenly started happening. I also installed all the windows updates (took a really long time) and it didn't help. I'm not overclocking anything.
