Hi,

I'm having an issue that is driving me mad. I'll be playing a game, doesn't matter which game, but I can guarentee that my screen will go black, at a random moment. Could be 30 minutes in to the game, or 30 seconds.

I'll hear the USB remove/insert noise, and my screen will come back on with a message to tell me that my Graphics Driver crashed and has been reset.

I've gone to the Event Viewer to see if I can see anything suspicious. Every single time, without fail this happens, I have the following messages:

!Warning - Display - Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

and the exact same second

!Warning - DistrubutedCOM - The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54}
and APPID
{15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402} to the user DESKTOP-PAMI6G8\Username SID (S-1-5-21-3755885565-3219007244-611742005-1001) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks!
