Hi people, 'boot problems' means not waking from sleep, requiring a reboot, and often not starting at all. And when starting after several minuets (4 or 5) of black screen and nothing happening requiring a small button reboot or a big start button reboot several times in a row after minuets of black screen before it starts. And on starting it always bsod's (video_tdr) and restarts itself. This has been happening for weeks then today I've had to do this 6 times, black screen no flickering even, just the computer whirring away and the little red activity led flashing its head off or solid, and no amount of reboots after several mins of nothing worked, until I cold rebooted it. Then once it starts after the "video_tdr_nvlddmkm.sys" bsod and auto reboot it works fine. Turning it off from the wall seems to be the only reliable way to get the thing to start - after the bsod restart. The system had been reliable for years, it slowly got worse after I upgraded to win 8 and 8.1. I've upgraded all of the drivers that I can, the 2008 bios is the latest as far as I can tell from gigabytes web page. I had it back to the shop that I bought it from 3 weeks ago for the bsod on startup and they put more fans in it, but it didn't help. I have included the SF file, cpu-z shots and mini dumps and I hope that someone can interpret them for me. I have been reading on line and trying things for a few weeks now, to fix it myself, but I can't.
