Hello.

As I'm playing Skyrim my displays will show lots of fancy colours at times, and sometimes white squares and sometimes it will BSOD. The time I can play is random, everything between 5 minutes to a few hours.
I've got my display drivers up to date, and my graphics card is around 60-70C while playing.
It only happens in Skyrim for me.

All information provided

I would like some help tracking down the faulty driver that is causing it (I think it's a driver, that's what googling 0x000000d1 gave me anyhow)

Thanks in advance
Jompa

Welcome aboard.

I am guessing you have updated the nvidia graphics driver very recently? I would suggest you to go back to an earlier one, that was stable.

And, try to reduce the game preference levels to normal or minimum.

Also , take the test.

Thank you!

Yeah I did it last week at some point. Have been trying a couple of older drivers but they seem to be worse than ever.

I already reduced them to normal, haven't tried minimum yet though.
My GPU temp never exceeds 75C while playing either.

I took the stress test, results attached.

I've got Skyrim running atm, tabbed out and nothing happens right now, but if I enter the game again, it'll almost right away show me all the pretty colours before the screens turns black and I come back to Windows telling me that my Graphics Drivers crashed.
I dunno if that says anything about my problem...

EDIT: It's solved. Turned out to be that the graphics card was given to little power from the PSU.
I gave it some more and haven't had a crash nor a hint of one since.
Thanks for you help though Arc! It's really appriciated when someone shares their knowledge!
