BSoD Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout fail
My system always runned pretty smooth, running BF4 on high setting with no problem, but last week my computer got pretty hot playing Borderland 2 and crashed on a BSoD. Now every time I start the game after 5 or 10 min playing I crash on the same BSoD : Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed.
I run a Toshiba laptop Qosmio X870 equipped with a Geforce GTX 670M.
-I've tried several drivers roll-back as well as a re-install of the latest version : 337.88. Always the same crash, on some older version of drivers the crash only occurs quickly.
-I've tried re-installing windows, same result, crash after 5 to 10 min.
--EDIT--
I've tried the windows hotfix for this problem : microsoft fix it 50848 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665946
But still got the same crash, the game only freeze a bit longer before I got the BSoD
I run on directx 11 version and my windows 7 Home premium 64bit is up to date
I haven't tried any other game then borderland 2, but before the overheat it was running smoothly. The system is running good and I'm not overheating when a crash occurs (at least not my CPU cause it's the only one I monitors) and my fan don't even run at max speed. No lag in game, everything is normal before a crash.
I think the heat may have damage my GPU, but I wonder if here is any way to test it, or if any other thing I should try before I go on with a GPU replacement.
I've read on the windows help to try and put a longer timer value for the display driver in the registry but not tried yet, I'm not quite sure how to do it correctly.
I've uploaded the dump file
Thanks for help !
