http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lo...op-0x116-video_tdr_error-troubleshooting.html You can have a look at this thread, see if there is anything in there that might help you that we haven't already tried the causes of the particualr BSOD your getting the 0x116 stop:

[B]Usual causes:[/B]  Video driver, overheating, bad video card, BIOS, Power to card

The only option We cant really test is the power to the card because the card is soldered to the motherboard (hence if it is not getting power then it is a hardware error that would require the manufacturer to replace the board)). But we can check and make sure that there is no root kits or nasty virus infections by running full scans with the following:

Windows Defender Offline
Tdsskiller

Alright I'll do everything step by step. They said they would replace it if the hardware is acting up, but I was hoping against hope that it wasn't a hardware error since I cannot afford to lose even a couple of days without this laptop being in medical school.

Also, I've never gotten a message where it says 'Driver has stopped responding and has recovered' I just get a straight BSOD.

 

[Dsprague]

Yes that is entirely possible, it just means that the driver times out for so long that the operating system freaks out and shuts down thinking something is wrong (which likely there is).

Okay now for the first time I got the same BSOD while just skyping...... I'm going to try flashing the bios, do I use the one from the MSI website or the latest one for the board?

 

[Dsprague]

The one from MSI should be the newest.

The BIOS did not help... it's clearly an unseen hardware issue. I disabled the graphics card since the BSODs were getting out of hand and I haven't gotten a single one since. I guess if someone has tried everything just contact your hardware manufacturer and try to get it replaced if it's still under warranty. Thank you for all your help.

Glad I could be of help, I never like seeing hardware errors though, best of luck getting it replaced.
