Hello.
Whenever I'm running anything that uses Direct3D such as World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, or Borderlands, after some time (anywhere from 1 to 30 minutes) I'll get a screen flicker and a TDR alert from Windows 7 (the driver nvlddmkm.sys has crashed but Windows recovered it) and the game will either redraw (and the problem will continue if I keep playing), crash (and the problem will continue if I reopen the game), or bluescreen (and make me cry tears of bitter suffering and anguish). I've tried uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling the drivers, letting it run using W7's built-in drivers, doing all of the above in Safe Mode, System Restore, and every permutation and combination thereof. I'm at wit's end with this thing, and the other 20 or 30 (no hyperbole) threads I've looked at have had nothing working.
Here's the Windows error report (just for the BCCode, really):
From what I can figure out, the problem isn't as much in the bluescreens as it is in the TDRs: the bluescreens are just reactions to too-long TDRs (thus the 116). I've had this computer working on W7 for over a year now, no problems. Had Vista for a while, then did a complete wipe-install of OEM W7 Home Premium x64. Also, from what I've seen in my searches, this crash only affects 64-bit users. I really wouldn't have too much of a problem switching to x86, but I'd rather not spend 100$ when I could do this with some elbow grease. Help?
