Need help with analysing this dump file

Sethmetal Kukri · 17 Oct 2015

My computer just blacked out a bit before recovering and seeing a "Display Driver Nvidia 3##.## has stopped responding and successfully recovered" message.

It has been a year ever since a big wave of black screen errors plaguing my computer and now it has happened again, I am a little worried about its return.

Hi Sethmetal Kukri,

It is the 0x117(VIDEO_TDR_TIMEOUT_DETECTED), a graphical BSOD.

This means that the drivers of the graphics card have failed to respond between a certain time amount, however it ultimately does recover.
This could be caused by the drivers, a damaged GPU, dust and not properly seated.
At the moment I suspect this is a driver issue as the date of the flagged driver is from last year.

Please uninstall everything of Nvidia using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from Nvidia
