    Hi moknathal, It seems you have been having some problems for a while. There were quite a few dump files dating back to 4/2013. I only checked the ones from this year, but did look at a couple of the older ones too. They were all exactly the same.

    Code:
    !analyze -v

    Please try to reinstall the driver or use an older driver that is more stable. You can download drivers from
    Latest NVIDIA ForceWare Video Drivers Windows 7 When you do the reinstall, please use this method to get the cleanest install possible NVIDIA Drivers - Avoid Problems

    Dump files with the same error code dating back that far indicates an underlying problem. Hopefully it is just not having a clean install of the drivers. If not we will have to look a little farther. Do you have the Intel display driver installed also? If so and you are not using it, you may have better results by uninstalling it. Try doing a clean install of the drivers and see if you have better results and please let us know how it works for you. TDR errors are caused by the driver not recovering in time, the name means Time Delay Recovery and means that the driver did not recover in the time allotted by Windows, so windows assumed it was a hardware or driver failure. They can be very difficult to resolve and are normally seen on Laptops with switchable graphics, which is not your issue. Please let us know if this helped any.

    I have done what you asked Essenbe. I will let you know if that worked.

    thank you for the quick reply.

    i looked in the "remove/ uninstall " program area fore intel drivers. there is nothing listed as Intel.

    i will post in a few days time if everything seems to be working ok.

    in the nvidia folder there were about 20 folders with driver numbers.. and a whole bunch of other nvidia crap.

    so hopefully that solved it.

    thanks again

    You're quite welcome. Please let us know how it works out for you. You may also look in Device Manager, expand display adapters and see if Intel is listed there. It shouldn't be, or at least it is not in mine.

    Ok. So tonight my computer was running fine. than i started up diablo 3. and logged off right away. didnt feel like playing. after that i went onto Liveleak and started watching videos. about 5 min later my computer did the BSOD again. Screens just went black and sound got destorted in headphones and the computer restarted.

    Looked under display adapters in device manager. only my 2 GTX 570's are listed.

    Not sure what to do here = /

    as soon as I get home I will post them. I will be home around 730 pm PST.

    would reformatting help?

    also could my SLI be causing it?

    I really don't know right now. When is the last time you did a clean install? Did you get an actual blue screen?

    the screen never actually goes blue and shows anything. they just go black, than the computer restarts a few seconds later. but the windows unexpected shutdown thing says bluescreen.

    last time i did a fresh install of the OS was couple years ago.

    I have all my games on a WD Raptor 500gb drive.
    my OS on a 2 TB WD black drive.
    and i use a WD Green 2TB drive for a storage drive for pics and stuff like that.
