Display Driver stopped working - Shadow Reign - Aug 21, 2016
Not sure where else to post this.
So occasionally, my screen flickers black for like half a second and then comes back and I get a message stating "your display driver has stopped working" blah blah blah
Any ideas to why this is?

Could be a bad driver.
Could be a PSU that is not able to put out enough power.
Try updating the GPU driver.

have you overclocked your card?
Unless Try this.
Download valley benchmark.
Run it, if it crashes try to lower your gpu's clock frequency
And/OR memory clock.
I'd recommend MSI Afterburner. PM me if you need help!

It's kind of overclocked I guess. I'm using the "advanced performance" option on power options which gives me like 2.5GHZ instead of 2GHZ
