For a number of weeks I've had problems with screen freezes, errors about the graphic display having stopped as well as random reboots. I've tried a number of drivers and nothing has worked.

crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\061916-17000-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: nvlddmkm.sys (nvlddmkm+0xE46B7)
Bugcheck code: 0x133 (0x0, 0x501, 0x500, 0x0)
Error: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\nvlddmkm.sys
product: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 368.39
company: NVIDIA Corporation
description: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 368.39
Bug check description: The DPC watchdog detected a prolonged run time at an IRQL of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This problem might be caused by a thermal issue.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 368.39 , NVIDIA Corporation).

Hello... Typically all makers of your Hardware have access to this information... B )
Google "flashing Video card, GPU, etc...
Check utube too... and watch someone else walk ya through.
Here is where I get mine at times... Typically it's like flashing a MB... just need to get the proper DOS APP ?.exe, that communicates to Your model of Card.

****** WARNING***** The WRONG firmware for your hardware Can Kill it for GOOD... check your #'s the flash utility will also give you a warning... B /

I just wanna know what i can do. It cant be a hardware error because i looked through everything and i got my computer about 2 weeks ago. Is there anyway this can be fixed or should i just bring it to a shop?

Hello... if Software driver won't do it... then it's the hardware... Only Option here is BIO's "firmware" re-flash to wake it up... if it won't wake up communications... B / hardware is fried.
Typically The BIO's version Can is written on the back/front of circuit boards... and easy to download, and Save a Copy of the file on your Computer.
