New build: Unexpected Restarts

[peezy]

Built a new computer from scratch last night. Installed OS and drivers without a hitch; everything ran smoothly. Yet earlier this morning Windows started restarting throughout the day with an Event Problem screen.

Based on someone's guess on another forum, I believe it's the GPU. If I try to run Windows System Rating Index, it restarts without fail everytime. Someone on another forum believes its a TDR error.

PLEASE if anyone could help me fix this, I'd highly appreciate it.

Try re installing the latest drivers from Nvidia. If that doesn't work, try installing a few older drivers.

I analyzed the dump and the file that's causing the problem is nvlddmkm.sys, which is part of the NVIDIA driver. Try updating them as ichigeki suggested.

I used to have this problem a couple years ago with the very same file. Updating the driver fixed the problem.
