I have been having this issue for the past month or so and its been getting seamlessly worse. I will be playing a game on my pc and the monitor will shut off as if its gone to sleep mode. I shake my mouse, turn it off/on and the monitor never wakes up. So I am forces to reboot my pc, when it has restarted, I get a little pop up saying windows has recovered from an unexpected error, and when I check the details, it says. Error: Blue Screen. I will post the dump from the tool on your forums.
Any help is greatly appreciated and if you need any more details please just post.
Thanks!
EDIT: Figured I should add this, The ONLY game I can play w/o crashes is Arma 2, every other game, WoW Civiliztion 5, BF3 all of them crash after 1-10 minutes.

It is a stop 0x116, which is a display related BSOD.

Apply the latest version of nVidia display driver, 320.49 WHQL.
You may download it directly, from our forum link http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/602-latest-nvidia-forceware-video-drivers-windows-7-a.html; or you may opt for the Option 2 of Drivers- Download NVIDIA Drivers for “Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products” (it requires java installed).

Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.
eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
At least 30% extra is safe. Also let us know about the wattage of your PSU.

Are you overclocking? As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings. Also set the BIOS to default, too.
How To Clear CMOS (Reset BIOS)

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy.

Try to dismantle the PC. Clean the inside carefully. Clean the air vents and fan grills specially, so that it can blow the hot air out efficiently. While re-seating, apply new thermal paste to the CPU.


Let us know when all are done.

MAX GPU Temp in furmark was 105, leveled out there, min was 79.
Idk half of the stuff on the power supply calculator, all is new to me for the most part.
I reapplied thermal paste just the other day.
I'll run memtest tonight overnight and get back to you

Speccy after 6 hours:
I believe the problem is the GPU.

You are right, so change the GPU, earlier than it causes damage to any other hardware due to that abnormal heat.
