The past few days I haven't been able to do anything that uses my nvidia card. Every game I play will run for maybe 5 min and then crash. Bluescreenview highlights dxgkrnl.sys, dxgmms1.sys, and nvlddmkm.sys as causing the issue. Anyone know what i can do? I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling many different versions of the driver. I have a gtx 675m 4gb card and an intel i7 chip. I just tried to "upgrade windows 7" using my install disk, and now I get the same bsod, but my windows install is no longer genuine and i dont get any file dumps after bsod. The forums wont allow me to attach my crash log files because they are unsported file type.

See, temps of the GPU are not high.

View attachment 299370

When the GPU is crashing with stress test despite of that temperatures, it is the GPU itself that is failing.

Time to abandon it and get another one.
