BSOD even after reset to factory settings 0x116

I have a lenovo u400 laptop and i am currently running on safe mode with networking as its the only way i can use my laptop. I have gotten the bsod a few times in the past year but it would only be every few months so i wasnt worried about it. yesterdya i got it while on youtube and my laptop was running hot. startup repair and system restore did not help. neither did resetting to factory settings. when i reset to factory settings it worked for a few hours and then i got the bsod again. i followed the steps running the DM log collector and attached the compressed folder to this thread post.

please help as i am on break and need my laptop for the new semester :)

i also have attached a "dump file" i downloaded blue screen view and it gave me the codes and whatnot if that would help

Please fill out your System Specs

   Information

Your System Specs will help us to help you, and doing it in this manner will make them available to all helpers in every post and keep us from hunting for them. We ask that you fill them out in as much detail as possible including Desktop or Laptop, Model number if it is an OEM computer and all components with the Manufacturer and Model number if possible.

If you will go to your last post and click the 'System Specs' in the bottom left of the post, you will find a link to update your system specs. Please fill those out in as much detail as possible, making sure to click save at the bottom of the page. If you would like to know what we would like, you can click 'My System Specs' at the bottom left of this post to see mine. If you do not know what your components are, this will help you accomplish this task. System Info - See Your System Specs

As you already know you are having a video TDR error (Time Delay and Response) meaning your drivers have crashed and do not recover in the time allotted, so Windows assumes a graphics error and shuts down in order to keep from causing damage. But we need to know what hardware we are dealing with to determine anything much further.

As you can see your drivers are seriously out of date and need to me updated from Lenovo's web site.

You may have a failure of your graphics card. That is not a diagnosis, but a possibility. The problem with switchable graphics is the time they take to switch from one to the other. The only way I have found to be successful is to disable one or the other. The decision is better graphics or longer battery life. See if you have an option in BIOS to disable switchable graphics for now anyway. Otherwise try in CCC to disable the card or in Device manager. See if that makes a difference. Just make sure you have the driver for the on board graphics, before doing that. I am assuming that is what you are using now. Be sure to create a restore point (System Restore Point - Create) before doing anything. But from what you said in your last post, that's pretty much what you did last night.

I won't be around for much of the day today. I'll try to check in when I have a chance though. Let me know what you decided to do, and are you sure you installed the correct driver? Most OEMs, alter their drivers for the way they configure the systems to work, so downloading from AMD usually won't work.

It's a 2011 driver anyway, but it doesn't say what card it's for. They haven't kept up to date with the drivers.

I'm sorry but I can't answer that, I wish I could. It's sounding like the Graphics card has malfunctioned. Why not run Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions again and lets see if there is anything I can find. It will probably say the driver crashed though. Maybe we'll get lucky.
