Hi,
that type of crash is called a 'TDR', this web page explains it better than I could:
TDR stands for Timeout Detection and Recovery. This is a feature of the Windows operating system which detects response problems from a graphics card, and recovers to a functional desktop by resetting the card. If the operating system does not receive a response from a graphics card within a certain amount of time (default is 2 seconds), the operating system resets the graphics card.
Reference
Many things can cause a GPU driver to TDR and usually a successful solution is to remove the current gpu driver using something like the Link Removed
This will remove anything that shouldn't belong and leave a clean environment for you to...
Hi dead,

While waiting for a Crash Dump analyst to help you I might suggest some things.

First, it would be very helpful to have the Make/Model of the computer you are running. And is it a desktop or a laptop?

Usually, if you are doing online gaming with a laptop, there is the possibility of Overtemp damage to the Motherboard and or Graphics Card/Chip. So, what exactly is the name of the Game you are playing?

Does the BSOD happen only when gaming, or when running other programs such as Internet, E-mail, social media etc.?

You can download some free programs and check this. One of those is SPECCY, free from piriform.com. This will tell you temps on your computer from Motherboard, CPU, GPU (Graphics), and Hard Drive. If any one or all 3 of those are reporting temps of 72 deg. C or higher, your computer has been thermally damaged and needs to be professionally serviced. If you like you can run the test log in SPECCY which will produce a Text file which you can upload back here to this forum thread so we can look it. Again, more helpful information.

Make sure when you run SPECCY that your computer has been on for at least 4 hrs. continuous without running the Game as that crashes your machine.

Let us know answers to these simple questions and SPECCY report if possible.

Best,
<<<BIGBEARJEDI>>>

We need to see your actual dump files which are created when the system bsod's. Run the app found in this thread and post the results:
Link Removed

If there doesn't appear to be any dump files then you'll need to change your settings so that they're created when the machine bsods.
Open the run application.
Type sysdm.cpl in the run box and click ok.
Look across the top of the system properties box for 'Advanced' and click that.
Look for 'Startup and Recovery' near the bottom and click 'settings'.
Near the bottom you'll see a drop down menu under the heading 'write debugging information'.
In the drop down menu choose ' small memory dump (256KB)'
Under 'small dump directory' make sure it says %SystemRoot%\Minidump.
Click ok and your good to go.

You will of course need to bsod again before a dump file is created.
