Display Drivers Crashing
Hello.
My issue is the following:
-while playing games the display driver just crashes after 5 minutes of game-play, after which I have to reboot in order to be able to play another 5 minutes of the game before it happens again
-while browsing the web, it crashes and recovers
-while watching videos the driver crashes
My setup:
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 2046MB RAM
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Motherboard: GA-P35-DS3L
I have tried memtestx86 and I've let it run 27 times and it gave no errors.
I have tried sweeping all of the drivers and the leftovers and installing new ones.
My drivers are up to date and downloaded from the nVidia website.
I have checked for malware.
I have reinstalled windows.
I installed the newest motherboard drivers.
None of what I did above helped and this is really getting annoying now as I can not do anything on my PC.
If you have any suggestion, please help, thank you.
EDIT: The graphic card temperatures are in a normal range.
What I have also heard is that it could be a failing PSU.
If it's of any help, all components except the graphic card are 5 years old.
