BSOD because of graphics card

[Ippeman]

Hi! I've had this problem for a long time but now since I've started to use my laptop more often the problem is more annoying and is too common.

If my graphics card is enabled in the control panel the computer will crash in 1-2 minutes after logging in saying one of these three BSOD codes
- SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED (nvlddmkm.sys)
- VIDEO SCHEDULER INTERNAL ERROR
- VIDEO TDR FAILURE

I've recently wiped my whole computer and upon trying to choose my country for the computer it hit me with a BSOD VIDEO TDR FAILURE. I've disabled the graphics card from bios and now I'm using integrated graphics card.

Stuff I've tried:
- Reinstall drivers with a clean install
- Update all drivers mid way
- Check registry for errors with Malwarebyte and CCleaner
- Ran chkdsk and memtest commands
- Updated windows couple times and reverted back to different updates
- Some other things I can't remember right now

My specs:
Laptop itself is Lenovo G710
Intel i5-4200m
Gtx 820m

If anyone has any ideas how to solve this all are welcome and if you need more info I'll provide all I can. Thanks in advance!

Most of the time if a GPU is giving you BSODs, it's experiencing either MAJOR instability (power supply or motherboard issue) or the card itself is dying. In either cases it would be best to leave it to the manufacturer, since a standard battery change may not fix your problem and finding that specific board (and GPU for that matter) outside of the manufacturer will be nearly impossible.

If it's not under warranty, then who knows. Try to find out if the 820m is soldered to the motherboard on that laptop. If it is then you're probably SOL.

most of the newer laptop use gpu cards. look at the repair guild if the unit out of warranty. see if you can get to the video card by opening the bottom of the unit to see if the gpu still locked into the mb. if it locked in try running a gpu memory test see if the gpu ram is bad or the gpu chip itself. if the gpu chip can be replaced there be a service part number on it and online if you do a google search for your model laptop and service parts.
