STOP 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR BSOD

[int32]

I've checked the thread STOP 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR troubleshooting(also for STOP 0x117 errors because I'm having the exact same error caused by nvlddmkm.sys (nvlddmkm+1086d2)

It's pretty detailed so I don't think that I need to waste your time with just another BSOD dump when it's already that well documented

I've tried everything the thread says except a new card. That is because when I use the Windows
default VGA driver by disabling the graphics card, the PC does not crash even if it stays on for a week.

I've tried many nvidia drivers, latest or oldest and it crashes always. So I am thinking that when the nvidia driver tries to use the gpu's advanced features then it crashes, while the default Windows driver does disable them so it does not crash

Does that make any sense? Do I need a new GPU afterall?

specs:
Windows 7 pro 32bit
GEFORCE 7600GT

thanks

If you could follow the instructions that would be great.

I've tried to upload the SF logs but there's a limit of 8MB and my memory dump alone is 230MB! (full kernel dump)
Should I upload it onto a DropBox ?

ok, I've found another mini dump (small) which I am attaching

I'm uploading the SF logs with the dump included.So please ignore my previous post
