computer doesn't bluescreen but monitor goes black and it restarts problem has been occurring for a week now, tried posting a week ago and got no responses.

Try updating your video driver, or reverting to a more stable version.
VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (116)
Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed
IMAGE_NAME: nvlddmkm.sys
The good news is all 4 of your recent BSODs seems to be caused by this.
I tried updating my videocard driver but that didnt solve the problem i will try reverting to a more stable version.
Did a rollback on the driver will post updates.
Would you recommend a clean reinstall of the driver?
edit: rolling back driver failed got another bsod
attached new errors

Try these steps below and let me know if it helps:
"..
- Rollback graphics card driver. How? Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 13.5.3.0 or NVIDIA forum link) to uninstall all graphic card drivers, then re-download older versions (the nvidia site has the latest 5/6, try them) and install.
- Change power settings in NVIDIA COntrol Panel>Manage 3D settings>power management mode. Change to "Prefer maximum performance".
- In Internet explorer, go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Check "Use Software rendering instead of GPU rendering".
- Change monitor refresh rate from 60 to 50 Hertz. Can do this under standard resolution settings in windows.
- Download and use MSI Afterburner (here: MSI Afterburner ) and lower both the "Core Clock" and "Memory Clock" options by around 100 (so they say -100). Apply and close.
Hope that helps and gets some of you off the damn forums and back to games where we belong.

So I did everything you said and for now the bsods have stopped, thanks so much! i'll post if anything goes wrong
