Hey, so I've had Windows 8 since October, and whenever I play any game really, besides a few exceptions, they crash, leaving me with: VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (nvlddmkm.sys) after about 15-20 minutes.

Any help is appreciated.

Start with these troubleshooting steps for the STOP 0x116/0x117 errors (Video TDR stuff): Video TDR Timeout - 0x116 + 0x117

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :
