So, since late last year(I think it started around mid-September, but I'm not 100% sure since it's been so long.), I've started getting this when trying to run most games. At the time, I had an nvidia geforce 8800 GT, and after about a month or two of dealing with it, upgraded to a radeon hd 6670, which sadly didn't fix it. I've tried pretty much everything I can find to try and solve this, short of reformatting, including updating a ton of things(graphics drivers, motherboard drivers, directx, vista itself), increasing the tdrdelay, turning tdr off, completely uninstalling and reinstalling graphics drivers, and messing with the settings of my graphics card(It's not overclocked, I've checked.). For reference, here's a [url=http://speccy.piriform.com/results/7aevktsx4PjynFvkeT7KoHc]speccy snapshot[/url], and the card runs at about 36 Celsius when idle. It may also be worthy of note that there doesn't seem to be any real pattern as to when I get the error, but some games that it happens on frequently are Dark Souls, Warframe, World of Warcraft(Which I never even got out of the tutorial zone on, as any race), Dota 2, Bioshock(1), Darksiders, and Torchlight 2. Hope this info will help somebody help me, thanks.
How did you remove the old drivers?
IIRC I used Driver Sweeper. [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] Well I feel stupid. I do remember removing them, but apparently they're still there. Gonna try again, I guess. [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] [t]http://puu.sh/2xVf4[/t] It won't remove any of this stuff, and I still had the issue when I tried playing some Dark Souls.
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for my current card, too, and it's still happening.
I think I fixed it. Had to enable AMD Overdrive, then lower the settings it defaulted too.
