    Black Screen/Freeze when playing Games.


    Hello

    I have started playing Guild Wars 2, after the first couple of days my game started to freezing and black screen to desktop before going back into game to only black screen again. At times my monitor would say no signal. The problem disappeared for close to 5 days and came back up again. I've tried playing other games and the problem is similar, freezing to desktop, black screen and crashing to desktop.

    During the black screen to desktop I would get 'Display driver stopped responding and has recovered'. I have updated to a few different drivers including the latest stable driver from Nvidia but the problem still exists.

    I have ran VMT for 10 passes with no errors.

    Prime95 Small FFTs for over 2hours with no errors.

    Running FurMark the test does complete when I run BenchMark(user's setting) when I do the Burn In-Test everything looks okay until my GPU hits 80c. The computer would shut off then. Though when I play games my gpu varies between 50 to 62c.

    I have rebooted windows but the problem still exists. I've had this computer for just over 3 years now.

    Does anyone have any ideas of what the problem is? Or if I can do anything else to determine the problem.

    Hello

    I am not getting BSOD's, so should I be creating this dump file when it freezes/black screens?

    I have created a dump file when GW2 is not responding by opening task manager to create file.

    Here is a dump file I created when windows has booted.

    Does anyone have other advice to determine what the problem is?

    No mention please. To err is human. And, you are very new in the forum.

    I had a nVidia card earlier, that used to say the same thing "display driver stopped working and now recovered".

    Tried everything, and literally everything. All the available information around internet I tried to apply, but the result remained the same.

    Later I came to know that it was a bunch of faulty cards by nVidia.

    If you are within warranty, ask the vendor to replace the card.

    Sorry to say, but there is no possible fix. I tried everything for myself. One fix I got from overclockers.net, that worked. But upto a restart only.
