Display driver crashing during gameplay

[hysterrics]

Specs

CPU: AMD FX-6350 @ 3.9GHz
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Windows 10 version 1709

Issue

While playing certain games, the display will go black and the sound will skip. I can still hear audio from the computer, but the display remains black. Event viewer says the display driver stopped working and successfully recovered, but the display never actually recovers. Games that I know will crash the driver are Civilization V, Kerbal Space Program, Blackwake, Euro Truck Simulator 2, and Cities: Skylines.
I've experienced this issue for about a year now. I've tried nearly everything, including placing the GPU into a different PCI slot, reinstalling drivers, underclocking the GPU, etc... I've monitored temps during gameplay and they've peaked at 60c before crashing. I haven't found a single solution online that worked. If anybody has any suggestions please give them.

Have you tried setting your power settings to high performance? Also in advanced power settings expand PCI express and link state power management and make sure it is set to off.

I've already done both of those things and neither has resolved the issue.

Ok.....Is power management mode set to prefer maximum performance in nvidia control panel under manage 3d settings?

Tried that, problem is still occurring.

Have you tried making a registry edit to your GPU processing time?

Was Win10 an upgrade? If upgraded, what was previous OS? Has there been a fresh install of Win10 since having the problem? Did the problem happen before Win10?

Is your gpu slot powered only?

How are you installing video drivers? Just the usual way of downloading and running the driver executable from Nvidia?

Do you use Geforce Experience? If so, try remove it.

What psu do you have, have you tried another?

Have you tried disabling PCI-E link state power management?

I upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 when W10 came out. There hasn't been a fresh install since the problem began. The problem did not happen before installing W10, but also didn't begin after installing W10.

My GPU is slot powered.

I downloaded the most recent driver from the Nvidia website.

I do not have Geforce Experience installed.

I have not tried another PSU, though I've been considering it recently do to this problem.

I have disabled PCI-E link state power management.

If you have tried the regedit with all of the above it has to be either your PSU or GPU dieing a slow death.

Its always possible its hardware related but before doing the harder yards of replacing parts do try a reinstall of Windows when you get time. If you have a spare hdd can use to test a fresh install with will be convenient and easy going.

If you can use another hdd, remember to disconnect your current drive. Windows 10 alters other drives connected and puts boot records on them.
