Welcome to SF!

Try uninstalling anything nVidia related in Programs and Features.

It sounds like an nVidia program is crashing, not the actual drivers.

 

[YakSipper]

'NVIDIA driver stopped working' = 0x116 error, unfortunately.

Same advice applies to others. Make sure card is not overheating, ensure proper psu in use, ensure system ram properly configured in the bios.

Rivatuner can downclock and set highest fan speed, for testing.

What is a Win 7 Ultimate 6.01.7601 ServicePack 1 v153 (x64)? Is that something international or possibly and OEM type install?

Which version of the nVidia Graphics driver are you running? Have you gotten any Windows updates for the driver?

Leaked Service pack 1

That right there might have caused the problem.

Download a copy of Speedfan and check your GPU temperature: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

Also make sure to uninstall anything nVidia-related in your Control Panel>Programs and Features.

 

[Capt.Jack Sparrow]

This is a qoute from one of the expert

If playing with video driver versions hasn't helped, make sure the box is not overheating. Try removing a side panel and aiming a big mains fan straight at the motherboard and GPU. Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to ascertain whether cooler temperatures make a difference. If so, it might be as simple as dust buildup and subsequently inadequate cooling." - H2SO4

Follow this link AMD Game Forums - ATIKMDAG.sys problems and TDR FAQ it's for AMD but it applies to nVidia as well bacially it's not an issue TDR

Hope this helps,
Captain

 

[squall leonhart]

Check.

RAM Timings.
RAM / CPU Voltages

Manual configuration of these has fixed thousands of TDR's.

Update Drivers all around (Nforce, Geforce, Lan, etc).
Uninstall Nvidia NAM.

 

[riclx]

thanks
how do i do this configurations?
im not an advance user

 

[YakSipper]

You have to determine which memory modules you have. CPU-Z program, free on the net, can help you with this. Then, visit the RAM maker's site for proper vdimm (voltage), frequency and timings. Adjust your system bios accordingly with this information.

please help!!!!!
by trying this type of configuration.... my pc now doesnt works...
tryng to configure the ram and turning off the onboard graphics... no the pc... that the screen doesnt work, not on the gt220 board, not even on the onboard graphics...
i m not sure even if the bios or windows are running properly....
please... could someone give me a help...
i m not sure what to do... or if there is a way to reboot the pc properly...
please help!!!!

 

[YakSipper]

Look inside for a round and flat battery. Gently remove it from the motherboard for at least 30 seconds and then place it back inside its retainer. That will get you up and booted again.

I advise then, letting a friend or someone with pc experience adjust the bios for you.

 

[riclx]

thanks man
you just save my life!!!!
isnt there any guide step to step that i can see how to do this???
it really suck to spend money and then see that nothing works...
the crashes happens with every games... bad company 2, need for speed shift...
just wanted to put this thing working...

 

[YakSipper]

You're welcome. Well, 2 things you can do for the time being. 1 is to fill in your system specs to the best of your ability.

And 2 would be to follow this thread on how to post the actual crash dumps. Perhaps we can pick up on something causing the error, like a utility driver or something else...

[Everlong]

riclx, this can happen quite a lot in Bad Company 2. You could try lowering your graphic settings to DX9 by going to your user folder>Documents>BFBC2>settings and set DxVersion from auto to 9.

i have this message on action center and also this sys file...
maybe it helps to determine whats wrong....

I would update to the latest utilities offered on your motherboard manufacturer's download site. There is a utility driver that would be updated by doing this, that has caused 0x116 and 0x117 errors. Older versions which I'm betting you have one of them, are known problem causers.
